Basic principles of International Law.
Territorial Sovereignty. Every State has, to the exclusion of all other ¨States, the unilateral and absolute right to permit or deny entry into the area recognized as its territory and similar right to control all movements within such territory. ¨n National Airspace. The territory of a sovereign State is three dimensional, including within such territory the airspace above its national lands and its internal and territorial waters.
¨n Freedom of the Seas. Navigation on the surface of the high seas and flight above such seas are free for the use of all.
¨n Nationality of Aircraft. Aircraft have the characteristic of nationality similar to that developed in maritime law applicable to ships. Thus aircraft have normally a special relationship to a particular State which is entitled to make effective the privileges to which such aircraft may be entitled and such State is also reciprocally responsible for the international good conduct of such aircraft.
