Well ICAO should be interested in this thoroughly embarrassing load of pony pooh, after all they are accountable for this;
" ICAO defines the protocols for air accident investigation followed by transport safety authorities in countries signatory to the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention)". Accepting Beaker and his misfits as being an 'acceptable form of compliance'  with annexe 13 makes me laugh. But remember ICAO does this in conjunction with the Chicago convention.It also does this as it is a component of the United Nations. As a reminder of what the UN is meant to do:-

" The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, promoting human rights, fostering social and economic development, protecting the environment, and providing humanitarian aid in cases of famine, natural disaster, and armed conflict". 

Aagh yes, promoting human rights did I read? Well I don't see the rights of the missing air crew, passengers, and loved ones of the missing who are presumed dead, being adequately met, do you?

How long will this unacceptable farcicle mess be allowed to continue by those at the highest levels? Is the UN really a toothless tiger as many have long suspected? Is ICAO also just another toothless tiger that provides nothing more than a nice location for the aviation bureaucracies to visit during the Canadian summer and enjoy herbal tea and caviar while doing a spot of skiing at Whistler??

Polishing is completed and me thinks it is time to crank up the Houseboat engines. Mr Ferryman and Minnie, are you coming?? Toot toot
