re: land ownership and acquisition.

dear enlil,

obviously land can not be owned but play along.
how does a nation acquire land (other than violence)?
are there established and respectable or even "lawful" processes for nations to acquire more land (other than violence)?

dearly,

-mm

You can purchase land from other countries if they want to sell it I would think.

Someone could also gift you a plot, such as an EMBASSY, or for political refuge, such as my five dozen slaves and 14 coconut junkie donkeys and I enjoy from a small volcanic atoll in the south pacific.

Nations could, earlier, also find land that wasn’t previously inhabited (such as my atoll) and claim it. Seals and gibbons couldn’t fight back.


But to be less frivolous, there’s such thing as land leases, foreign ownership through investment, et cetera. It’s quite commonplace.

You could always acquire it from the natives who are not using it properly

you can potentially annex land .... or the government level form of squatting....

this is ours now...deal with it. doesnt have to be forceful or civil sometimes its inbetween.


i guess we can file flag planting under this as well... like eddie izzards skit...

"we were here first"

"alreight where is your flag"

" well we dont have one"

"too bad, no flag no country...because of these rules that i have made up just now"

those are the only ways for a nation to acquire land legitimately?
how is the treaty process supposed to work and are there any examples of treaty without violence?
i realize these questions may be as much spiritual and/or philosophical as political but in the process of spiritual reawakening which is the return to the concept of oneness: the reverence and rememberance that all is One, survival demands abiding the rules like borders and fences and authority

Treaties are just agreements. Most don't involve violence.

How does violence undercut legitimacy?

Violence can be a part of any of those things on the list, though.  It doesn't have to be, but it can be. Besides, you specifically asked for a list of ways "other than violence."  Violence is still a legitimate and viable way of acquiring and holding land.

Authority can exist without violence or threat thereof. Power requires violence or a threat of violence, however.

What rules are you talking about?  Rules are a social construct.  They apply insofar as society chooses to apply them.

yes enlil, lots of things are social constructs and we are all aware that it is just hocus pocus, thats like 4th grader stuff.
if you dismiss the subject we will never get to the second page.
we are not going to debate you on subjects that do not require opinions.
the rules exist. try parking in your neighbors living room. try casually walking through a border checkpoint.
power is the exemption; the rules exist, same rules that all nations/authorities are founded on. feel free to bring up a supportive example if you want

You can't just a priori determine that violence is against the rules.  Nowhere on the planet is that the rule.  You literally just made that up.

not me some dutch guy
Per the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, federal statutes and treaties are equally regarded as "supreme law of the land".
The legally binding nature of treaties under the Constitution has been consistently recognized by the courts; as early as 1796, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Ware v. Hylton, applied the Supremacy Clause for the first time in ruling that a treaty superseded conflicting state law. Although the Ware decision did not address the Treaty Clause explicitly, it held that both states and private citizens were bound to comply with the treaty obligations of the federal government, which was in turn bound to the "Law of Nations" with respect to honoring treaties.
Vattel's work profoundly influenced the development of international law.
In 2015 the United States Department of Defense published its Law of War Manual. Vattel is cited after Hugo Grotius and before Francis Lieber and Hersch Lauterpacht as a subsidiary means and an authority in determining the rules of law of war.
