UN Wants All Drones Registered In Global Registry

To register or not to register? This question has been haunting aviation authorities about drones for long – the United Nations' aviation authority the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has called for a global drone registry, Reuters reported Friday. According to the report, the effort is a part of a larger plan to create a common framework of rules to fly and track unmanned aerial vehicles. Many countries including the U.S. have tried to create a drone registry before and failed. The Federal Aviation Administration called for registration of all drones in the U.S. in March, but the 2015 Department of Transportation backing was stuck down by a Washington D.C. court in May, prompting the aviation authority to rescind its order.
