neutral zones: Geographical Reveiw, v45, 1955, p359-74. &quot;The economic <br/>

<br/>
There was a geography thesis at UCLA on them too, 1980s i think...<br/>

Ile de Conference/Ile des Faisans (Island of Pheasants) in the Bidossa R <br/>
between France and Spain is administered by each country for a 6 month <br/>
period, and the island is neutral, the result of peace conferences there in <br/>
1658 and at other times.<br/>

See the BBC programme/book Frontiers, that is, the episode onthe Pyrenees.<br/>

&gt;Are there only three neutral zones? Next to Gibraltar, Ceuta and Melilla! <br/>
&gt;Who administers them? UN? Are you lawless there?<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;  The river Mosel have an island which is both Luxembourg and Germany <br/>
&gt;accourding to map and picture sent by Wolfgang Gartner.<br/>
&gt;Are there more land which are administered by more than 1 country?<br/>
