If a plane crashes on the border, where do you bury the survivors?
These day you can rob a bank while yachting across the Pacific.
E-crimes ae borderless.
So, the Americans patrol the world?

Ecuador wants restoration of US & UK aid and trade.

Enough was enough.
Do you have a link to 'the good old days' they miss so much? For Iran that would be 1953-1979, for Cuba the decade before Fidel. Something similar for the country in question.

I'm not sure about the mechanism by which American law is extended all over the planet, even to non-Americans. Assange is an Australian and as far as I know, he didn't do any of his alleged crimes the the US. Does that mean that I am subject to arrest in my home country and subject to extradition to the United States if the Americans decide that they don't like me and therefore demand my extradition?
Yes.

By what occurred in London today we lay witness to the onset & possibility of freedom of the press being grounded permanently (in effect rendered dead) world reach wide by the dictate of a lawless USA government & it's much over extended reach! A rogue governments blatant & open warfare on freedom of the press! - James Buik

Canada has extraterritoriality laws too. For example, if a person is accused of molesting a child abroad, he can be tried in canada under Canadian law. Inasmuch as I think that person should be punished, I do have a problem with that principle. In a strictly legal sense, how can Canadian law apply to a Canadian abroad? I could support a UN law against child molestation for example. This would make all UN-memebr-states one jurisdiction in the application of that law. It would make sense for a Canadian court for enfore UN laws even when violated beyond Canada's borders. I could also see Canada encouraging other states to toughen their child-molestation laws and extradite an accused to the country of the alleged crime to stand trial. But I've always struggled to understand the rationale behind extraterritoriality laws.

Toronto does not apply its laws to Ottawa. Ontario does not apply its laws to Quebec. So why should Canada apply its laws to other states?
