The International Airspace is located above the High Seas. In this area, the freedom of overflight is absolute, alike the freedom of navigation on International waters. No State can exercise its constraint power. / Nowadays, the International Airspace is used in different ways, more or less legally. Sometimes, abuses can happen, for instance, a civil aircraft can use the International Airspace in order to "spy" military activities of a foreign State. / In that case, the State, victim of the abuse, has essentially two ways to reply: legal means or armed force. / Even in a case of reply to an abuse, International Law clearly prohibits from resorting to weapons against a civil aircraft located in or out the International Airspace. In spite of this prohibition, incidents are still happening.
