You can't. Only the state can do that.

Horsepuckey. That's nto true today, here, now.
Somebody breaks into my house to steal my cat, it won't be the State that prevents it. It'll be me. Or maybe my cat. The State's job would be to hunt the bastich down and punish him, and discourage similar acts by that punishment. But the Gubmint does not station cops outside my door. That's why I have a Tommygun. (BUAHAHAHAHAAAA!)
Similarly, if Microsoft starts a Mars base and the Chinese want to take it, the US gubmint won't be able to do diddly, whether or not there's a treaty.
