Increases the bookmark The following are some key facts about no-fly zones.
A no-fly zone is a territory over which aircraft, especially military aircraft, are prohibited to fly without authorization.
One form of no-fly zones is authorized, under special conditions, by a sovereign state to prohibit aircraft from flying in specific parts of its airspace during a specified spell of time.
Another form of no-fly zone is set by one or a number of states or international organizations in certain airspace over territories where conflicts break out, to ban the flight of aircraft that belong to conflicting parties. This type of no-fly zone is legal only with the authorization by related international organizations.
On March 31, 1993, the UN Security Council passed a resolution, authorizing its member states or regional organizations to adopt all necessary means, military included, to enforce the no-fly zone over Bosnia.
In addition, the West also established successively two no-fly zones over Iraq following the Gulf War in 1991.
