- law 15y agoThat's an extremely good point that I really should have mentioned, since some of the United States' issues with it pertain to the exclusive economic zone. Although a non-issue when dealing with the contiguous zone, moving a ship/artificial island outside of the contiguous zone may implicate it. I'll have to look some more into the United States' stance on Articles 56 and 60, which deal with the EEZ and artificial islands, respectively.
