TEVA:
Many countries claim control over oceanic waters.

The US claims something like 20 miles from its coastline.
That is why party cruise ships make night sailings past that limit to host gambling outside of US territory.

Wasn't it Chilie that claimed a 200-mile limit and confiscated a US fishing vessel and abducted its crew several years ago?

North and South Korea have been fighting over control of an oceanic boundry for almost 50 years.
A South Korean destroyer was recently sunk over that boundary dispute.

I assume there are other instances around the world about which I am unaware.

From where do you get your international political information?
The National Enquirer?
