TY for your clarifications on the status of an embassy or consulate. However, IMHO, if (Article 22 section 1) “The premises of the mission shall be inviolable. The agents of the receiving State may not enter them, except with the consent of the head of the mission” there is certainly a limitation on the sovereignty of the host country. However, I am relieved to know that I am not still in Eretz Yisrael (I am writing these lines in the American Cultural Center library in Yerushalayim).
CTlawyer, regarding your class, this one statement would have to be a pro-rated part of the $600 per credit. Considering all of my posts on Halacha I think that my Comparative Law lessons put me ahead.
As for military bases The Free Dictionary’s legal dictionary states:
“… land used as a military base is considered a form of territory. These areas are inhabited almost exclusively by military personnel. They are governed largely by military laws, and not by the political structures in place for commonwealths and territories. The United States has military bases at various locations around the world, including Okinawa, Japan, and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.”
