Not because you repeat it over and over that it becomes a truth ...  |
I've never researched the "no fly zones". I don't believe there is an "international law" about no fly zones, and there's never been a ruling for or against them. However, it was part of the peace treaty Iraq signed, and thus, it became fucking legal.
I have researched international law a bit being as it's coming up in this thread. You should do some research to.
According to "international law", or the "United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea", you have what's called an "exclusive economic zones". This is two hundred miles from the coast of the host country. In this zone, all nations have the right to transit this area, but is "subject to the regulation of the coastal state". In perfect English, it means if your 200 miles off the coast of Israel they can order a ship to stop, board it, and inspect it.
This is exactly how the United States and the US Coast Guard deals with drug runners. Don't they call it a "safety inspection" or something like that, and if they find drugs or something illegal they arrest them all?
Israel was exercising it's legal right to board and inspect a ship. Israel legally boarded a ship that refused to stop, and was attacked them as they boarded.
