Laws are authoritative only when governments control territory and people under 
the authority of those governments occupy those territories.
There are a lot of areas under dispute with a lot of countries around the world.
I believe there may currently be issues between Canada and Russia, Denmark, and 
America about certain areas, so which law applies depends on who occupies or 
uses those areas economically.
Outside of their controlled and occupied territories, those laws do not apply.

But all any contributors on this list care about is what time is meant when 
someone in an area says something will happen at 18.00?
That is regardless of the official policy of the contributors governments 
towards other governments with which they may have disputes, and with which any 
transaction and certain interactions may be illegal.
