The presidential plane air blockade of a sovereign country as the Plurinational State of Bolivia, can be described as an Air Exclusion Zone facto to a country outside the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR).

Such zones are measured by the Security Council of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries that are going to be overrun as happened in the case of Bosnia, Iraq and Libya. There have also been requests to the UN that this would impose an exclusion zone in territories such as Gaza. Bolivian presidency The aircraft was prevented from transiting the airspace of France, Spain, Italy and Portugual, because it was thought that was carrying the U.S. intelligence exagente Edward Snowden, wanted for his country for leaking confidential information. The basic provisions of these areas of exclusion is in the Convention on International Civil Aviation of 1944, which defines the fundamental characteristics that all States contractors have to apply to prohibited areas to institute. While it is in the various domestic legal systems that specify and delimit that portion of airspace air traffic is banned (civil, military or both). In April 2010, a volcanic ash cloud forced the temporary closure of the airspace of countries such as the United Kingdom, Denmark, Belgium and Norway. way, as stipulated in Article 9. (a) of that international treaty, each state Contracting may restrict or prohibit uniformly the aircraft flight other States over certain areas of its territory for reasons of military necessity (pilot training, for example) or public safety, although it is also common to be established to preserve the environment or historical heritage. Also prohibited areas should have a reasonable extent and location so as not to interfere unnecessarily with air navigation and also need to be kept informed of other Contracting States and the International Civil Aviation Organization of the forbidden zones in force and of the changes therein are operated. 's also possible that a state under exceptional circumstances (periods of emergency or in the interest of public safety), temporarily restricted or prohibited with immediate effect all flights over its territory or part thereof. However, this restriction or prohibition be applied without distinction of nationality to aircraft of all States. This is what is referred to as' general prohibition of flights. " Finally, Article 9. © it is determined that a Contracting State can claim, according to its own law, that all aircraft entering an exclusion zone air, regardless of the nature of this landing as soon as possible at some designated airport within its territory. Yet all these causes do not apply, since it declared an exclusion zone without legal justification and without such action find referred to in the Convention on International Civil Aviation. It was not illegal or dangerous flights for States that prevented air traffic, but an illegal request expresses the Obama administration in their hunt against Edward Snowden, as well as a message to American leaders who dared to provide humanitarian asylum trabajaor American citizen of the NSA. Obam and intelligence services have breakfast for some of Snowden's presence in some of these countries sovereign empire and ridicule of the world will spread networks and media.Spies States States have not been able to prevent one of its former employees living freely in the land of peace, justice and freedom.
