Boundaries<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
&gt; Everyone&#39;s?<br/>
&gt; How about landlocked countries?  What sovereign interest in the high<br/>
&gt; seas could have accrued to them over time?  The high seas would have<br/>
&gt; to be an area of no sovereignty if you believe sovereignty is<br/>
&gt; indivisible.<br/>
&gt; Can sovereignty be shared between all entities on earth at the same<br/>
&gt; time without having been divided amongst them?<br/>
&gt; I think the high seas are no ones&#39; - a ship on the seas carries<br/>
&gt; sovereignty along with its movement - there is no sovereign right for<br/>
&gt; Cuna, for example, to prevent the Swiss Navy from plying the high<br/>
&gt; seas.  If it tried to do so from one of it&#39;s ships on the high seas,<br/>
&gt; it would be illegally extending its sovereign powers beyond the ship&#39;s<br/>
&gt; railing to impinge upon another.  If, for example, the Cuban&#39;s shared<br/>
&gt; sovereignty with the rest of the world on the high seas, then it could<br/>
&gt; legally exercize whatever portion of those sovereign rights it felt<br/>
&gt; possessed to be an agressor and protect them (or take whatever share<br/>
&gt; of that sovereignty the Swiss possessed in an act of conquest).<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; If the high seas are &quot;everyone&#39;s&quot;, we have chaos.  Only if it&#39;s no<br/>
&gt; one&#39;s, a regime where denial of any legal rights pervades do we have<br/>
&gt; arm&#39;s length distances, clarity and a system where a violation of the<br/>
&gt; peace is always an impermissible action that cannot be justified by<br/>
&gt; any assertion of rights whatsoever.<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt; Isn&#39;t philosophy neat?  Thoughts?<br/>
