- Title
CLOSURE OF THE SUEZ CANAL TO ISRAELI SHIPPING.

- Abstract
The article discusses the legal authority of Egypt to close the Suez Canal to Israeli shipping. The Convention signed in Constantinople, Turkey on October 29, 1888 and Article 14 of the 1856 Concession established the canal as an international waterway. It examines the legality of claims by Israel that it has same right of free passage through the canal just like other countries under the international law, the 1888 Convention and the 1949 Armistice Agreement. Egypt defends that it does not violate the 1888 Convention because its denial of free passage to Israel is an exercise of its right of self-defense during the war.
