WHAT IS ‘ANNEX 13’? : The rules governing aircraft accident investigations are known throughout the industry by their legal name “Annex 13”. : Under Annex 13, the country where an air accident takes place, in this case Ethiopia, is responsible for the investigation but can delegate it to another country. ICAO does not participate in accident investigations unless it receives a special request from the country in charge. It cannot impose binding rules on governments, but wields clout through its safety and security standards which are approved by its 192 member countries.
