That is unenforceable unless certain folks use force? Just checking.

International law, a nice dream, is only as good as its acceptance and enforcement. So far, 'tis a work in progress. It boils down to treaties, and those sometimes boil down to scraps of paper.

EDIT: this reply to Jester's Reply to Ghost where he comments on international law.

PS: As to the Nuremburg model, that piece of international law is vigilante justice, since it is whatever the guys with the guns, thems as left standing when the shooting stops, say it is. Got it? INternational Law of the Sea is still based on Might makes Right. See Canada pulling over Spanish fishing vessels.
