<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; Yes, but why isn&#39;t this law implemented throughout (this planet) <br/>
<br/>
&gt; then. Because when it was, it would have come to no surprise that the <br/>
<br/>
&gt; North Pole is right inside the Danish EEZ.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>i imagined this law is being implemented uniformly  & that any unclos signatory nation can make these eez & shelf claims to the fullest extent of the law & of their own reach  & that the danish claims are thus just as real as any others  & far more real btw than any of the 8 national sector claims to the 2 poles<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
but what really blew me away about the report at bp of the danish claims thruout the high arctic is how they seemed to conflict with the conventional 200nm eezs of the other circumpolar countries  for i was imagining til then that eez claims include as well as override shelf claims<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
like i mean how could denmarks shelf claim beyond its 200nm eez line really trump the canadian & american eez claims within their 200nm lines<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; &gt; also it may be true that such claims are formally recognized only <br/>
<br/>
&gt; by treaty counterparts if any  <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; but isnt it also true that all eez & shelf claims are within the <br/>
<br/>
&gt; context of & thus an integral part of the united nations law of the <br/>
<br/>
&gt; sea convention anyway  <br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; Yes! You may be right, but ...<br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; &gt; & that the claims are thus  if i am not mistaken  submitted to & <br/>
<br/>
&gt; received by  a united nations registry  & tho never formally <br/>
<br/>
&gt; validated nor ratified are subject like any other territorial claim <br/>
<br/>
&gt; to challenge in the international court of justice  etc<br/>
<br/>
&gt; <br/>
<br/>
&gt; ... I&#39;d like to see that registry! Because this registry would have <br/>
<br/>
&gt; to exist if what you think is true, and if it exists, would be the <br/>
<br/>
&gt; ultimate EEZ bible to us.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>yes i would like to see this bible too  for i dont think i just dreamt it up & am pretty sure i actually learned of it somewhere  but is it available i wonder & how etc<br/>
