first
just to get the kosovo question if any out of the way
clearly the putative new kosovo tricountry points
cannot be recognized as official unless & until kosovo
is admitted to full membership in the turtle bay
country club
& moreover
any hope of their attaining an intermediate or gray
status by dint of majority recognition by club members
appears to be dashed by the surprisingly cool
reception to kosovo independence worldwide http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_expected_to_recognise_the_Republic_of_Kosovo
as there seems to be more concern than expected about
promoting the principle of self determination over the
principle of territorial integrity
second
tho a widespread apres kosovo domino effect was feared
& predicted
& tho there is still a lot of talk about the various
candidates for actualizing such an effect
nevertheless
there really does not yet seem to be much leeway in
the realm of power politics for actual movement in
this direction
so
any further potential pandemonium due to ongoing
fragmentation & or combination still seems quite
remote
& of no immediate concern to the registry
however
things are looking increasingly fluid generally
so be ready for anything
third
about the outcome of the impending icj decision on
pedra branca
which could engender 2 new idmysg tripoints to add to
the already generally acknowledged existing notional
pair of these
& thus ultimately produce a first set of quadruplet
tricountry points ever & increase the official
worldwide tripoint total from 173 to 175 in the
process
there are some still more ominous prognostications in
the air http://forumforforeignaffairs.blogspot.com/2008/02/icj-case-malaysia-singapore-dispute.html
to the effect that an outcome in favor of singapore &
the new tripoints would coincidentally set off a new &
potentially very destabilizing global landrush for
disputable islets capable of projecting new eezs
& fourth & last
& specially appended to the be careful what you judge
category
tho actually of no concern to the official united
nations tripoint registry per se
but rather only to the official united nations truth
registry
which is both alphabetically & spiritually right next
door to us here
your attention & input are again urgently requested
