Are there practical differences between ownership and indefinite lease? I mean can the lease be cancelled or terms changed unilaterally?

- lazyant 12y agoownership != sovereign soil
- happyscrappy 12y agoAgain what are the practical differences? All I can find is stuff about mineral rights.
- philwelch 12y agoThe practical difference is that any laws regulating the kinds of things that can be done on US soil do not apply to Guantanamo Bay.
- maxerickson 12y agoThe Castro government doesn't recognize the lease as legal. So at least in some sense it is being maintained unilaterally. (I'm having trouble finding something to link that is not charged, but I think that is a fair characterization of it)
