Read the following passage regarding international maritime law.
The legal architecture governing international waterways has evolved through foundational treaties, each establishing specific navigational rights while carving out express prohibitions to maintain geopolitical equilibrium. The 1888 Convention of Constantinople established the Suez Canal as an international waterway open to all vessels in times of both peace and war. To guarantee this perpetual openness, the framers explicitly mandated that the canal could never be subjected to the exercise of the right of blockade by any belligerent nation. Decades later, the 1901 Hay-Pauncefote Treaty granted the United States the authority to construct and manage the Panama Canal, guaranteeing transit to all nations on equal terms. In exchange for this authority, the treaty conspicuously forbade the erection of military defenses or fortifications commanding the canal itself or its adjacent waters. In a different geopolitical theater, the 1936 Montreux Convention restored Turkish sovereignty over the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits, allowing Turkey to militarize the zone. However, to appease regional security concerns, the convention expressly denied non-Black Sea powers the right to maintain capital warships in the Black Sea for a duration exceeding twenty-one days. Finally, the 1977 Torrijos-Carter Treaties established a framework for the gradual transfer of the Panama Canal to Panamanian control, affirming its permanent neutrality. While granting the United States the right to defend the canal against external threats, the treaty definitively did not confer upon the U.S. any right to intervene unilaterally in Panama's internal political affairs.
Based on the passage, match each treaty with the specific action, condition, or right that is explicitly NOT permitted or is expressly denied by that agreement.

- 1901 Hay-Pauncefote TreatyThe construction of defensive military installations overlooking the passage.
- 1936 Montreux ConventionThe indefinite stationing of major naval vessels by nations outside the immediate region.
- 1977 Torrijos-Carter TreatiesOne-sided interference in the domestic governance of the territorial sovereign.
