Summary
The United States calls for the elimination of double taxation in international air transport in the International Civil Aviation Organization, setting off a multifaceted and protracted jurisdictional conflict between the specialised agency and the United Nations spanning several years. During this saga, developing countries and the UN Secretariat would heatedly oppose promulgation of the residence exemption principle but are outmanoeuvred by developed countries’ successful tactics.
