<div id="ygrps-yiv-1187306158"><blockquote><span title="ireply">&gt; Is there not a concept in the law that a person in the high seas or on an <br/>
&gt; unclaimed island is subject to the jurisdiction of the nation whose vessel or <br/>
&gt; aircraft he last alighted (or if in an unregistered vessel or aircraft, of the <br/>
&gt; nation whose port he last departed)?  I seem to recall such a thing, but I can&#39;t <br/>

based on the last jurisdiction they in any way touched<br/>
i rather doubt<br/>

in general<br/>
the existing applicable law so far as i know is<br/>
