<div id="ygrps-yiv-1366992667">but it is interesting & i think highly ironical that there is a <br/>
single grand loophole to the general principle that i believe you <br/>
have otherwise correctly enunciated here<br/>
which is that all the arrangements entered into by the european <br/>
occupying powers of colonial empires everywhere else in the world are <br/>
indeed normally the first & foremost thing that is binding in those <br/>
places<br/>
 <br/>
& the boundaries in particular that were made by the european <br/>
occupiers have been very conservatively adhered to in nearly all <br/>
postcolonial areas ever since<br/>
<br/>
so i think perhaps the point you may have been reaching for there is <br/>
that occupying powers who are soon rebuffed usually leave no border <br/>
changes behind<br/>
as at 1939atde1945<br/>
whereas those who stay for a longer time naturally do<br/>
as at 1848mxus2005 <br/>

&gt;  Plus, legal arrangements entered<br/>
&gt; &gt; &gt; into by the occupying power are not normally binding, see e.g. <br/>

&gt; true but do you mean the international court of justice <br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; & is there really such a case there now<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; that would be interesting<br/>
&gt; <br/>
&gt; last i heard <br/>
&gt; this was not thought to be possible <br/>
&gt; because oz had withdrawn from the jurisdiction of that court<br/>
