On 22 September 2016, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted resolution 2309 (2016) which calls notably on all States to “Require that airlines operating in their territories provide advance passenger information to the appropriate national authorities in order to detect the departure from their territories, or attempted entry into or transit through their territories, by means of civil aircraft…”.This resolution reaffirmed the terms of resolution 2178 (2014) linked to passenger data exchange and measures to stem the flow of Foreign Terrorist Fighters, which called inter alia on all States to “prevent the movement of terrorists […] through measures for preventing counterfeiting, forgery or fraudulent use of identity papers and travel documents”.Shortly after this, at ICAO’s 39th General Assembly, Member States endorsed the continued development and implementation of the ICAO Traveller Identification Programme (TRIP) Strategy, including travel documents, the ICAO Public Key Directory (PKD) and the provision of related training and assistance to States. The Assembly also resolved that A39-20 (www.icao.int/Security/FAl/TRIP/Pages/declarations-and-statement.aspx) will constitute the consolidated statement of continuing ICAO policies related to facilitation A39-20 by adding a dedicated Appendix D “Passenger data Exchange systems”.We welcomed 568 participants from more than 80 Member States at the 12th ICAO TRIP Symposium and Exhibition which took place at ICAO Headquarters in November 2016. The event highlighted the ways the ICAO TRIP Strategy supports the fight against terrorism through heightened cooperation and information-sharing. It also underlined the implementation programme of the ICAO TRIP Strategy for 2017-2019. From a regional perspective, the Caribbean region is the focus of a Canada-funded project, which is being implemented in cooperation with the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate (CTED). The workshop on Border Control Management, which was held in conjunction with the February 2017 TRIP Regional Seminar, was instrumental in opening dialogue to help strengthen border control management. The Seminar, which was hosted by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, attracted 163 delegates from 37 States and 12 International Organizations. Topics discussed in the presentations included: a call for intensifying capacity building assistance efforts; technical dialogue and mobilizing assistance from the donor community; and enhancing regional cooperation. In the context of regional collaboration expansion, a new sub-group of the Implementation Capacity Building Working Group (ICBWG) that will focus on the challenges faced by Small Islands Developing States (SIDS) in implementing the ICAO TRIP Strategy, has been formed. Also highlighted in this issue, the active participation of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) which have both emphasized the need for regional approaches that balance free movement and regional integration, against perils that include the threat of terrorism. INTERPOL describes the ways identities are misused and how border control officers can address this. Data submitted to the Stolen and Lost Travel Documents (SLTD) database and its use for checking passports during border control, plays an important role in the implementation of the ICAO TRIP Strategy by enhancing aviation security.On that side, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is also providing assistance. Many developing countries face immense challenges when it comes to carrying out strong and effective governance at their borders. The IOM describes how they were able to support the Republic of Mali in overcoming some of theirs. Countries that host international events, with a sharp increase of passengers through entries and exits in a short period of time, are often forerunners of practises and system implementations. Border management must deal with the increased flow of passengers and ensure security by identifying each individual as soon as possible in the process.That is what Brazil experienced when they hosted the Soccer World Cup in 2014 and the Olympics in 2016. The country achieved outstanding efficiency leaps by developing an intelligent risk assessment system based on Advanced Passenger Information (API) and Passenger Name Record (PNR), together with a Facial Recognition System. The Republic of Korea also developed an interactive API process system to reinforce the security of passengers and aircrafts entering the country. Their system operates in real-time, vetting all airline reservations at the booking and the check-in stages against the INTERPOL SLTD. Travel facilitation processes for international travellers must take into account the unavoidable increases in the number of people who will fly in the future. To meet these needs, the ICAO TRIP Strategy will have to be implemented on a large scale. Annet Steenbergen’s article describes how innovation could help to put into practice future passenger facilitation scenarios, with a shared identity management system.Your feedback and suggestions for articles and themes for future issues are welcome.

AssIsTING ANd IMPROVING TRAVEL fACILITATION ANd sECuRITY WIThIN A REGIONAL fRAMEWORK “Strengthening Aviation Security through Improved Traveller Identification” was the theme of the 12th TRIP Symposium that convened at ICAO Headquarters in Montréal, Canada in November 2016. The annual gathering provides an opportunity for representatives from the public and private sectors to coordinate their efforts in advancing the five elements of the ICAO Traveller Identification Programme (TRIP) Strategy.ICAO's mission in this field is to contribute to the capacity of Member States to uniquely identify individuals by providing government authorities worldwide with the relevant supporting mechanisms to establish and confirm the identity of travellers. There were seven sessions carried out during the three-day symposium that addressed topical issues from both the regulatory and practical perspectives. The presentations provided a broad view of technical developments regarding evidence of identity, MRTD standards and best practices, document security, identification management and related border security issues. Panellists noted the connection between civil aviation, international tourism and migration and the fact that the TRIP Strategy helps to facilitate the travel of a growing number of air travellers while strengthening traveller identification management.The ways the ICAO Technical Advisory Group helps to implement the TRIP Strategy was explained. The importance of the ICAO Public Key Directory (PKD) was reiterated as a secure and cost-effective system for sharing up-to-date, globally trusted and validated public keys. This is essential for verifying and authenticating ePassports to combat terrorism and crime while strengthening border security and facilitation.The ICAO TRIP Strategy plays a role in combatting the latest trends in fraudulent documents and this was discussed extensively. Fraudulent activities present a serious challenge when ensuring effective and reliable traveller identification management. Technical experts offered their operational experience to highlight current challenges and solutions relating to the different types of travel document fraud. INTERPOL highlighted its work in helping to prevent the proliferation of counterfeit currency and other security documents.For further information on the 12th TRIP Symposium, please visit: www.icao.int/Meetings/TRIP-Symposium-2016/Pages/Presentations.aspx ICAO’s 12th TRIP sYMPOsIuM: sTRENGThENING AVIATION sECuRITY ThROuGh IMPROVEd TRAVELLER IdENTIfICATION4 ICAO TRIP MAGAZINE – IssuE 1 2017The 12th Symposium and Exhibition on the Traveller Identification Programme (TRIP) hosted 568 participants from 81 States, 15 international organizations and 50 industry partners from passport-issuing offices, aviation security authorities, civil registries, border control and law enforcement agencies, airlines, airport authorities, travel document industry members, immigration authorities and other interested parties.
