Aviation is basically a transnational
and border-crossing phenomenon, without which globalization (the flow of people
and goods and the mixing of cultures) would have been difficult and the
awareness that we all live on one planet could not have been established. The
difference between this awareness and the ancient organizational principle of
humans, the principle of national sovereignty is not completely clear. A group
of people (a nation) live on a particular part of the earth (the national
territory) and claim that this area is for them, and exercise legal power
(government) over this area. This principle is known as „Sovereignty of
Nations‟ or „Self-Determination of the Peoples‟ and is based on the notion that
human beings are organized into groups or2 communities that have settled, but
that such settlement is the reason why they claim exclusiveness of all powers
for themselves on that part of the earth area which they occupied.
This ancient organizational principle
results to the point that although there are so-called areas of international
sovereignty in the world, that is, areas that are not claimed by anyone like
the high seas, there are no areas in the air space that are considered „mutual
property for all of mankind‟. This notable principle in customary international
law is known as „the principle of territorial sovereignty‟ was confirmed in the
Paris Convention of 19191 and reiterated in the Chicago Convention of 19442 and
it gives each state to the exclusion of all others, a unilateral and absolute
right to permit or deny entry into its territory and to control all movements
therein.3 According to Milde, this principle is “a cornerstone of international
air law and … declaratory of general international law.”4
