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
