Category: Political Stability Strength: Mild Proposed by: Cobdenia Description: REALISING the current possibility for nations to claim vast swathes of oceanic territory for legal and economic reasons, CONCERNED that such a situation has the potential to destabilise international security, SEEKING to remedy this situation, whilst taking into account the necessity for nations to impose legal and economic jurisdiction over waters bordering their shores, The United Nations hereby, 1. DECLARES that, for any nation with a coast: a) The waters within 12 nautical miles of that nation's sea border should normally be counted as its 'Territorial Water', over which the nation shall have sovereign control and may enforce any and all laws of the nation in question. Waters above undersea nations are to be considered territorial in addition to those extending beyond the sea border; b) All of the waters within 200NM of that nation’s sea border should normally be counted as its ‘Exclusive Economic Zone', within which it has the sole right to harvest natural resources, but otherwise considered as international waters; c) All of these zones also include the floors of those waters. 2. PROCLAIMS that waters that are neither territorial nor within the exclusive economic zone be considered 'International Waters'; a) National jurisdiction is to be extended to vessels registered in that nation traversing, and on offshore installations located in, international waters and the exclusive economic zone; b) Nations are prohibited from intentionally placing devises that may hazard shipping indiscriminately in international waters, including but not limited to sea mines. 3. AUTHORISES that the sea border is to be considered to be at the point where waters meets the land at low tide, where such a border would exist at sea level in the case of undersea nations, or an estimation of where fresh water meets salt water where the coastline is disrupted by river, etc., mouths, 4. DECLARES that any waters bordered by a single nation’s shores shall are to be considered as that nations territorial waters; 5. NOTES that possible issues of overlapping claims be resolved as follows: a) The boundaries between the territorial waters of nations that adjoin each other on coasts shall normally be straight-line continuations of their land borders; b) Any waters where two or more nations’ claims would overlap shall be divided along lines mid-way between those two nations’ shores; c) Nations with overlapping claims may voluntarily agree to divisions along other lines than these, as long as they are not to the detriment of the claims of other nations and do not encroach onto international waters; d) Where two nations’ shores are less than 25NM, and greater then 2NM, apart a median channel of 1 NM width shall be between them, and will be treated as international waters, except in the case of archipelagic nations. 6. ENCOURAGES member nations to respect these rules in their interactions with non-UN member nations that also accept these limits, and reach similar agreements with non-members, 7. FOUNDS the Marine Arbitration & Recognised International Thalassic Institutional Management Executive, (MARITIME), and charges it to arbitrate in international disputes about territorial claims in the seas and national jurisdiction.

Clean Poopie- The kind where you poopie it out, see it in the toilet, but there is nothing on the toilet paper. Wet Poopie- The kind where you wipe your butt 50 times and still feels unwipped, so you have to put some toilet paper between your butt and your underwear, so you won't ruin them with a stain. Second Wave Poopie- This happens when you're done poopieing and you've pulled your pants up to your knees and you realize that you have to poopie some more. Pop-A-Vein-In-Your-Forehead-Poopie- The kind were you strain so much to get it out, you practically have a stroke. Lincoln Log Poopie- The kind of poopie that is so huge, your afraid to flush without first breaking it into little pieces with the toilet brush. Gassy Poopie- It's so noisy, everyone within earshot is giggling. Corn Poopie- Self explanatory. Gee-I-Wish-I-Could-Poopie-Poopie- The kind where you want to poopie, but all you do is sit on the toilet & fart a few times. Spinal Tap Poopie- That's where it hurts so badly coming out, you'd swear it was leaving sideways. Wet Cheeks Poopie- (The power dump) The kind that comes out of your butt so fast, your cheeks get spalshed with water. Liquid Poopie- The kind where yellowish-brown liquid shoots out of your butt and splashes all over the toilet bowl. Mexican Poopie- It smells so bad your nose burns.
