Why hasn't it happened already? If you are willing to get into a war over resources its not as if a treaty is going to mean anything to you.

- XorNot 13y agoBasically because treaties matter, and there's no proven resources. No one's been able to go test drilling, and there's still other opportunities out there for oil relatively. But all the science suggests there should be a lot of it, and once the treaty expires the re-negotiation is going to happen in a very post-peak oil world compared to today. The problem comes in when someone definitely finds something, and wants to start a project. Creates a point of friction and that's where you get wars or skirmishes starting.
