Abstract

Espionage is not the modern-day concept. Rather it has its roots got established since the time immemorial. However, the literal meaning of the term is to peep into the internal affairs of the other nation. This means that it is the absolute violation of the principle of non-interference, which is so stated under Article 2.4 of the UN Charter of 1945. However, this age-old practice is not restricted to any single method for its conduct. Now-a-days there has been several other methods available through which this prohibited act is practiced by any of the nation. Today the territorial distance has no more be the bar to interfere into the sovereignty and integrity of any other nation. The authors by virtue of this research paper will likely to bring on the certain methods through which this restricted act of espionage is practiced under the newly emerging discipline of law, which is Air Laws. Furthermore, this paper will also bring into the limelight the recent trends so followed by the developed nations to spy over the working of the other developed as well as both under developed and developing nations. Such paradigms are the glared matters of the daily headlines. In addition to this, the authors will also be going to reflect through this research paper the various surveillance programmers conducted by the accorded nations to get an access to the confidential information, concerned with any other nation. Last but not the least the authors will try to bring out the nexus between the advancement of the technology has played crucially a two-fold role in snooping as well as curtailing the upsurge of the Air Espionage.
