About the neutral zones:

I, too, seek information on the NZ:s close to Ceuta and Melilla.

Incidentally, Rezette's book on the spanish enclaves is available

at the Royal Danish Library. http://rex.kb.dk:4505/ALEPH

The NZ between Spain and Gibraltar seems de facto has been

annexed by Spain. At my visit a few years ago I saw no signs at

all indicating some kind of no-mans-land. Does anyone have

an experience to share?

The UN buffer on Cyprus, is that a NZ? If so, then we have an

exclaved NZ (!) around the Turkcypriot beachhead on NW Cyprus.

Historically there were, as has beed said on the list recently, at

least two NZ:s in the Arabian peninsular desert, one of which

was at one time larger than in recent years.

There was also a small NZ on the border between Egypt and

Israel in the Sinai-desert during one period.

Before the 2nd WW Tanger in todays Marocco and its hinterland

was designated on maps as an International Zone (Internationales

Gebiet).

How about the Suez Canal? Wasn't that at one point jointly

administered by at least France and England, or is my memory

at fault on this point?

Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Neutral Zones and joint land

Are there only three neutral zones? Next to Gibraltar, Ceuta and Melilla! Who administers them? UN? Are you lawless there?

The river Mosel have an island which is both Luxembourg and Germany accourding to map and picture sent by Wolfgang Gartner.

Are there more land which are administered by more than 1 country?
