The interception of a Canadian military plane by Chinese fighter jets over international waters on Monday was unacceptable, dangerous and reckless, said Defence Minister Bill Blair.
The enforcement was through monitoring. If someone breaks the sanction, then this aircraft would provide the evidence. It’s not military action like you suggest.
It was literally part of a UN operation.
It’s a Security Council resolution, very different than a broader UN operation.
The resolution itself does not provide for military force to be used for enforcement. Canada was acting against this.

Would you like to refresh my memory on which countries have permanent veto power on the Security Council?
Would you also like to remind me which countries on the Security Council voted to impose sanctions on North Korea?
I’ll wait.
China did, but as stated the resolution does not grant the use of military enforcement.
Does not grant the use of military force. That doesn’t mean that surveillance planes are banned, ffs.
You’re really going out of your way to defend what is meaningless and petty nationalist dickwaving for domestic Chinese media.
Nah they’re just looking for reasons to shit on Canada because you know… Trudeau bad.
Edit: I have no basis for the above comment. It was reactionary and silly. I shall leave it up in shame.
Surveillance flights are not military enforcement.
