b) provide States, the Governing bodies and other organs of ICAO as well as other users with information concerning the work of the Organization in convenient form for their use;

c) foster the participation and support of Contracting States and the interest of non-Contracting States in the work of the Organization;

d) promote an informed opinion among governments and the general public concerning the work of the Organization, looking towards continued and effective collaboration in the field of international civil aviation;
