Is that why governments and business always aim for some protectionism to mix with their calls of free trade.
how can you say free unhindered trade is always beneficial when it has never existed?

Protectionism is here so that free trade is still a fair trade. but when it comes to actuall transportation of goods the less unhindered the better.

Errrrrr....every maritime state.

before the big boys pass some new law, they're going to ask ''great superpower'' Slovenia and ''mighty'' Croatia for their input (both maritime countries). riiiiiiight....
And still, every maritime nation (except somalia) has interests of pirate free waters, so lets say theirs actually a UN vote on this, a majority would go for new laws that allow more strict anti-piracy measures
