All but the representative of families have the right to be observers
Not all, just the representatives of the ICAO member states that are considered to have interest in investigation such as countries where airframe, engines or systems manufacturers are located or if their citizens perished in the catastrophe.
And for the release of documents to public by BEA:
The FDR listing was never released (so far)
What do you think we are basing our discussion of aeroplane's attitude altitude, control sticks and control surfaces positions on?
Something unfair in The Convention on International Civil AviationIf the representative of the families had the right to sign the convention .. be sure he will
Seems it's denied to them ...
Siiiiigh.... of course it is denied, they are not sovereign state interested in in having international air transport. Take E. Cochran's advice and take your problem to United Nations. They are the only ones that can do something about it.
