"Nah, the oil is ours by the nature of one simple fact, Mexico does not have the capabilities to retrieve it."

A book I'm reading on the U.N. describes some shenanigans concerning "The Law of the Sea" treaty, in which non- seafaring nations attempted to claim a portion of the profits made from mining the sea (while abstaining from sharing the costs).

Their con? They labelled the sea "the common heritage of mankind."

Reagan said no cigar and killed the thing. Don't know if it has been resurrected though.
