RadAlt2010 you wrote , among other things , the following :

If ICAO can enforce a similar inspection and enforcement process then we can have safer skies. Its all too easy to say it cant be done.
and :
Its dead simple. The country that falls below ICAO minimum standards in NAV, ATC, engineering maintenance, crewing etc loses its ICAO membership.
and :
Setting minimum standards and enforcing them is not a Herculian task. Admittedly, some poor countries would not be able to comply, but then they will need to find the currency somehow or they loose out on the wealth that aviation traffic brings them..
Well either you are very young, in which case , you should listen to those here wo are a bit older and vey wise like PJ2 and , yes, 411A and learn. In case you are older, then you have not been paying much attention in the real world out there.For info, Nobody has the authority to withdraw membership of ICAO . ICAO is not a club, it is a part of the UN . ICAO set standards and recommended practices . ICAO cannot by its nature enforce regulations. The individual States have that responsibility.
