Hi everyone,

Thanks you in advance for your help.

Can a country prevent someone from CTB in international waters? These waters are not in territories claimed by countries, what laws apply to people who CTB? The question is legitimate if a ship crosses a person who CTB, regardless of its country of origin and the country of origin of the person who CTB.

Cordially.

I don't think I quite understand. The chances of that happening are so slim I don't think it matters. If you want to drown yourself and a boat passed by I'm assuming they would fish you out. Anything else seems ludicrous. How on earth would you get out there on your own? Also the people who chance upon will probably follow the laws of their land. They can't find thing in the seas and oceans when they know where they're looking. I really don't understand what you want to know

but i think the boat would not last very long.

think some stupid idiots would sink it to prevent someone getting released from their pain.

Ships on international waters are subjects to Law of the Sea, flag state law and various international conventions. Nobody who owns or works on a boat or ship is going to help you because it will get them in trouble just like it would on land.

There are treaties for that too. However, you could get in touch with someone who isn't bound by any normie treaty...

The problem is that everyone does what they want in these waters which have almost no law. There are ages who have created floating houses on these international waters. And then there is the history of the country Sealand (artificial platform, military it seems to me, belonging to the United Kingdom, and abandoned) located outside the waters of the territory of the United Kingdom, which was used by pirate radios then taken by force. by ambitious people who have decided to create their own countries. There is also the story of Elon Musk and his land of artificial islands floating in international waters. I even asked the question about the right to space, even if it is almost impossible, unless you are very rich to go to space on your own. It seems to me that there are secret prisons in military ships in international waters. Looting of resources, illegal exchanges of goods between ships, radars off, I do not know if I have the right to say it here, I would delete this paragraph if necessary. Regarding the rights of the sky, it seems to me that the United States has appropriated the entire sky of the Pacific Ocean from international waters, for overflight rights. I am still amazed that no country has cried foul.
The problem is that everyone does what they want in these waters which have almost no law. I think there are a risk of forced use to prevent CTB. But I think international waters are big space you can hide you for your CTB, boat radars off.
