overflying right

Many EU Member States are jointly culpable when it comes to Guantánamo because, for example, they granted overflying rights for the illegal transport of prisoners.

In Ireland, a neutral country, the Foreign Ministry announced on Jan. 14 that if a war broke out US aircraft would be allowed to use Shannon airport en route for the war zone according to the rules of the UN Charter on Landing and Overflying Rights.

A date is set, state leaders around the globe applaud the United States for its initiative, there are standing ovations in the United Nations General Assembly, and all countries with the exception of North Korea agree to grant overflying rights to U.S. military aircraft, which is how the alleged survey will be conducted.
