禁飞区
no-fly zone

       日前,利比亚局势引发世界各国的关注。联合国安全理事会3月17日通过决议,在利比亚设立禁飞区,并授权各成员国“采取任何必要措施以保护平民免遭袭击”。此后,美国、法国和英国立即对利比亚的战略要地实施了军事打击。

       设立禁飞区与军事行动似有前后关联,但联合国安理会决议中没有“授权军事行动”字样。如何解读利比亚“禁飞区”?这成为媒体热议的话题。

       何谓禁飞区?

       禁飞区又称禁航区,指某一地的上空禁止任何未经特别申请许可的飞行器飞入或飞越的空域。禁飞区有多种形式:一种是主权国家在特殊情况下、在特殊时段对其领空范围内的特定空域采取的限制飞行的管制措施;另一种是在发生冲突的情况下,某个或某些国家或组织在冲突地域划定的特殊限制空域,限制冲突相关方的飞行器在管制空域内的飞行活动,只有在国际组织授权的前提下才具有合法性。

       请看相关英文报道:

The UK, U.S. and France have attacked Libyan leader Col. Muammar Gaddafi's forces in the first action to enforce a UN-mandated no-fly zone, BBC reports. Pentagon officials say the U.S. and the UK have fired more than 110 missiles, while French planes struck pro-Gaddafi forces attacking rebel-held Benghazi. Col. Gaddafi has vowed retaliation and said he will open arms depots to the people to defend Libya.

英国广播公司消息,英国、美国和法国已经向利比亚总统卡扎菲的军队开火。这也是联合国通过在利比亚设立禁飞区提议后各国采取的首次军事行动。五角大楼官员称,美英两军一共发射了110多枚巡航导弹,法国战机则对向班加西推进的卡扎菲的部队进行了轰炸,而班加西这个城市日前由反对派控制。卡扎菲宣称要做出反击,并打开军火库武装人民以捍卫利比亚。

The UN Security Council on Thursday adopted a resolution to authorize a no-fly zone over Libya and called for "all necessary measures," excluding troops on the ground, to protect civilians under threat of attack in the North African country.

...

The Security Council "decides to establish a ban on all flights in the airspace of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya in order to protect civilians," the resolution said.

However, the resolution excluded "an occupation force" in Libya.

The enforcement of the no-fly zone was endorsed by the Arab League in its decision at the end of the March 12 meeting on the situation of Libya.
