It became unlawful for Israel to board the ship when it did not contact the Turkish government requesting permission to board while providing credible to make that request happen. The boats were flying the flag of Turkey. Article 14 and Article 6 state:
If the offence is that the aid flotilla intended to break an illegal blockade, then they must notify the Turkish government of that offence and request permission to board.
Again, there is absolutely nothing in international law that stipulates a States' jurisdiction may extend to international waters. don believes the absence of such a law provides the clause to commit such an action. That is not how law works.
You're still missing the point.
Article 6 and Article 14 only apply to situations where Article 3 is violated.
Article 3 only applies where one of the lettered subparts is violated by an action that is already illegal under another law.
This is not a statute that makes things illegal. This is a statute that provides a remedy. The argument that an action is illegal because it violates Art. III is circular and erroneous.
This is 1L legal interpretation.
