The Authority also affirmed its commitment to international resolutions on the fight against terrorism and aviation security, particularly the Security Council Resolution No. 2309, adopted by the Security Council at its 7775th session held on 22nd September 2016, in which it expressed its commitment to the sovereignty of all States, including their sovereignty over the airspace above their territories, territorial integrity, and political independence in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations. The Security Council also expressed its concern in the same resolution that the civil aviation may be used as a means of transporting foreign terrorist fighters, and noted in this regard that Annex 9 Governance of the Convention on International Civil Aviation, concluded in Chicago on December 7, 1944 "Chicago Convention," recommends standards and practices related to the detection and prevention of terrorist threats related to civil aviation. The Authority said that it would exercise its right to impose further measures that could guarantee the security and safety of its sovereign airspace from any threat or risk in accordance with the laws and conventions governing the movement of air traffic over its airspace. --SPA 12:45 LOCAL TIME 09:45 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w426844
