Huh? How many strawmen can we count here?
The United Nations, if approved under the Security Council can violate state soveriegnty. Hence approval to invade Iraq to get them out of Kuwait. On the other hand, declaring that a state cannot fly aircraft in its own country without any basis in a cease fire agreement or a SC resolution can't really be legally justified (it can be power justified, and that's what we basically used... if we really wanted it, should have put in the cease fire agreement).
The no fly zones were not enforced by the UN... but by the US, UK, and France.
Now, if China decided that they should fly over parts of the US for "humanitarian reasons" without UN approval or in a treaty agreement, we'd be crying bloody murder.
