Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Re:
Enclaves/exclaves again
I have now included the Malawian islands in my
list of
enclaves/exclaves. But a tiny bit of me feels
there's something illogical
about it.
Is this, btw, the only case of islands within
foreign
territories in lakes? I cannot think of any other cases
at the
moment!

Thanks Jan.
This IS
difficult, but I see your point.
In fact, I had the Malawian exclaves
listed
on my enclave site a couple of years ago,
then decided they are
not enclaves since
there is no land border at all involved, and
then
removed the info.
Maybe I have to rethink again.

Hello Rolf,
I understand that you are not interested in sea enclaves - neither
am I, but I am a bit puzzled why you don't include the Malawian exclaves
on your list.
Your
definition is:
An enclave is a geographical territory which
is completely surrounded by foreign territory.
Considering that both Malwian islands are not inside
any sea, but in an inland lake and completely surrounded by Mozambique
territory, does this not fullfill the defintion to considered as
exclaves/enclaves?
Peter
S. and I have tried to create describtions on several geographical areas,
and we both agreed that inland lake should be considered as "land"
concerning exclaves/enclaves. I feel that creating an exact definition
also a sea coast country's territorial waters (out to e.g. 12 nm.) also
must be considered "land".
It is not easy to create definitions
covering all possibilties, but it would be great if we all could unite in
a common understanding.
