Re: Drug interceptions on the high seas

Re: Drug interceptions on the high seas

I had to look up DILLIGAF, but once I did I agree. The only problem is being sure they are actual whatevers with the necessary authority, not pirates. Usually it is possible, even easy, thank...

Re: Drug interceptions on the high seas

Re: Drug interceptions on the high seas

The posting party states UNLOS Treaty Part XI pertaining to deep sea mining, shared profits, and mandatory shared technology, is "almost" moot due to economic realities. Apparently it is unrecognized...

Re: Drug interceptions on the high seas

Interesting article, but definitely not always accurate. I remain unsure stuff in the territorial waters of other nations, but the immediate statements under the heading of the court amendment on...

Re: Drug interceptions on the high seas
