”Weeks after acquiring the Noor One, he outfitted it with a Togolese flag—thereby granting the ship and anything that happened aboard it immunity from most international jurisdictions”
Can anyone explain how/why Togolese flag give immunity?
- codyb 6y agoI was curious about that to. Togo appears to be a very small country on the Gulf of Guinea in Africa. Maybe it is to maritime laws what the Cayman Islands are to financial laws? Secretive, lax, and with a lack of extradition and cooperation treaties? Maritime law seems pretty interesting, and apparently you can get by with quite a bit by registering vessels in locations like that.
