No land off earth can legally be claimed by any signatory.

we could have another treaty of tordesillas

hmmm

And such claims are likely to be completely ignored by any signatories as well.

@Somi when colonization becomes a thing I'm sure that treaty will ge torn up

I'm thinking pretty sci fie. So tech for colonization ain't a problem. I'm just thinking of how the practicality would work.

Like, who gets to own the new lands?

treaties

Would it even work without the world uniting under a single banner?

treaties

nice

I'm gonna be pretty honest

It's very, very likely that the modern definition of a nation state will be obsolete by that time.

There'd probably be a clearer dividing line between 'access to space' and 'no access to space' than between, say, the US and China.

hmmmm

it's entierly possible the private sector will be the first space colonists I refer you again to the virginia corperation

I'm gonna immigrate to the musklands

if they colonize a planet, who owns the newly colonized world?

Do the corporation own it?

But, refer to The Expanse for a semi-accurate indication if you ask me. Certain vested interests will be held with an iron grip by nation states/Future UN, while less vested interests can be summarized as 'no laws, only private entities calling themselves cops'

ten bucks says the UN gets dissolved in 20 years

fifteen bucks the UN gets dissolved and a new union will be created in 50 years

league of nations whatever happened to them...

The LoN had much less of a firm mandate than the UN does.

once we as in murica land pulls out it's over for the UN

The US won't pull out of the UN.

russo-murican union when

They'll threaten to do so, get audits and reformations as a 'plz no don't' in return, and stay.

@MountainMan OOF

the US ditched the human rights council. eventualy a trump on steroids (hopefully a liberalist trump) will realize the UN is hurting america's interests and leave

Russo-American Union?
I think you mean Arctic Union

Begone scandavia and canada

The UN isn't hurting the US' interests though.

@Deleted User Russo-Chino-American Union?

Now that
