thanx martin
very nice indeed
& fascinating that you have located the british
version of the arrest position actually in internal
waters
or landward of the coastal baseline & land border
terminus
where there is in fact no border disagreement if i
understand correctly
whereas the iranian version of the arrest position
even as corrected
may still fall on the seaward side of the baseline
where the disagreement could indeed involve a disputed
border
so what we may ultimately be looking at here in this
dispute about the arrest position could be a question
of whether it will be necessary to entertain a border
dispute
but can you tell on which side of the baseline the
iranian version of the arrest position actually falls
& perhaps more to the point
shouldnt it be possible to learn somehow the true
arrest position beyond doubt
i see no substantive movement on this question in
todays news
for example
http://news.scotsman.com/politics.cfm?id=485142007
but plenty of questionable assertions in the
blogosphere
like
