Green Zone" but was later changed to the "International Zone" in June of 2004 with the return of sovereignty to the Iraqi people. However, the inhabitants, armed forces, and media have returned to calling it the
Green Zone.

Violations in the control zone are treated as if they occurred within the territory of the adjoining state within that zone, and extradition isn't required to remove a violator to the operating state for prosecution. Officers of the adjoining state may carry guns within the control zone.
