Well... This example proves you are either deeply misinformed or intentionally manipulating the ruling. I suppose you bother to check the geography which is completely different...or not?The Channel Islands are British islands located deep inside a French gulf, right against the French coast, while the UK mainland is far away on the other side of the English Channel. In contrast, the Aegean is a continuous, unified sea where Greek islands and the Greek mainland form a geographic totality facing the Turkish coast. There is no "enclavement" of a foreign nation inside your gulfs. The Arbitral Tribunal explicitly granted the Channel Islands a 12 nautical mile continental shelf enclave to the north and west. In 1977, 12 miles was the maximum territorial sea allowed. Τherefore, the court gave them the maximum possible effect under the international law of that specific era. It did not strip them of their rights. Furthermore...the Channel Islands case was decided under the 1958 Geneva Convention. Today, maritime delimitation is governed by UNCLOS and Customary International Law, which heavily favors the security, political unity, and economic continuity of inhabited islands. Nice try for one more time. How many more failed attempts at twisting legal precedents will it take before you finally tell your audience the truth about the islands? You have become so obsessed with them that you are forced to invent legal terms and geographical definitions that don't even exist in international law, just to feed your illusions.
