Research/Random Thoughts.
Consider: how to enforce a closed area? Or any other international policy?
- Most (all) countries will serve own interests first
- In cases of war, threat of mutual destruction/fear of similar treatment to own people can prompt compliance
- When the stakes are distributed...much harder to enforce
- Economical - international clout can cut off nations
- Environmental - international clout can't do much w/o economic side retribution
Enforcement policy:
- Large international organization? (like UN)
- not enough resources to properly enforce. miles of oceans to patrol/monitor...what can it do even if it catches a violator? punish individual breeds discontent, punish country may not be appropriate.
- Countries self-enforce?
- may be sympathetic to individuals, would not work. economic incentives to allow violations, economic sanctions to punish country would have to be severe to outweigh.
- Suggestion: international nuclear submarine fleet with piracy privileges
