?????? 日前,利比亞局勢引發世界各國的關注。聯合國安全理事會3月17日通過決議,在利比亞設立禁飛區,并授權各成員國“采取任何必要措施以保護平民免遭襲擊”。此后,美國、法國和英國立即對利比亞的戰略要地實施了軍事打擊。
?????? 設立禁飛區與軍事行動似有前后關聯,但聯合國安理會決議中沒有“授權軍事行動”字樣。如何解讀利比亞“禁飛區”?這成為媒體熱議的話題。
?????? 何謂禁飛區?
?????? 禁飛區又稱禁航區,指某一地的上空禁止任何未經特別申請許可的飛行器飛入或飛越的空域。禁飛區有多種形式:一種是主權國家在特殊情況下、在特殊時段對其領空范圍內的特定空域采取的限制飛行的管制措施;另一種是在發生沖突的情況下,某個或某些國家或組織在沖突地域劃定的特殊限制空域,限制沖突相關方的飛行器在管制空域內的飛行活動,只有在國際組織授權的前提下才具有合法性。
?????? 請看相關英文報道:
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.
英國廣播公司消息,英國、美國和法國已經向利比亞總統卡扎菲的軍隊開火。這也是聯合國通過在利比亞設立禁飛區提議后各國采取的首次軍事行動。五角大樓官員稱,美英兩軍一共發射了110多枚巡航導彈,法國戰機則對向班加西推進的卡扎菲的部隊進行了轟炸,而班加西這個城市日前由反對派控制。卡扎菲宣稱要做出反擊,并打開軍火庫武裝人民以捍衛利比亞。

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.
