Can I murder someone on Antarctica?

[Sheepocalypse]

Say I were to kill someone in Antarctica, would I be perfectly fine because its not owned by anyone therefore there are no laws?

[KristoB]

why...?

[Darth C3P0]

TBH you cant even have perm to go there without being a scientist

[kahnuu]

No. It is treated as international waters. Did you seriously think you could do this?

[Mr Man]

As long as it's Donald Annoying Orange

[Clownfish]

antartica is claimed by multiple countries iirc and they all "claim" slices of the continent
so no, you can't

[The Resonte!]

it's owned by nature



nature's retribution

[GoldenLego]

see but why do you want to kill someone

[IkeTheGeneric]

Jurisdiction in the Arctic and Antarctic are flaky but I believe you would be in trouble with whatever territory technically owns the area you killed them in. Usually if the body is recovered and identified and it wasn't within an owned territory, it may be investigated and prosecuted by whomever the victim's nationality belonged to.

Yeah, they claim and not claim them at the same time. Like, the UK used to claim portions of the Antarctic, but now just places it's research bases in the area it did claim, but technically doesn't claim or own the land.

CGP Grey has a video on it.

If it has no laws its ok
I guess

Wait, what if I kidnap Annoying Orange and stump him on antartica?

[Refticus]

you're better off just bringing your murder target into your love dungeon then turning the heating off.

Stumping the Annoying Orange breaks a fundamental physical law stating that the Annoying Orange cannot be stumped, therefore removing the entire universe.
