I can only imagine how lucky Colombia must feel that they did not sign onto the UNESCO LofTS after finding the San Jose. Someone in Colombia realized they did not want to be part and parcel to Spain trying to replunder the treasure from the shipwrecks they lost. Peru and US have also seen the light and failed to ratify the scam being perpetrated by Spain and Archaeologists. Authorities in Panama, Dom Rep, Haiti, Bahamas, Ecuador, and the Philippines must be really rethinking when they should withdraw. How hard were you countries lobbied or what were you promised if you signed on?
Why doesn't Spain make a map of all the shipwrecks carrying tons of mercury that they deposited into the ocean?
On the list I see two different details about countries. One is ratification and the other is accession which I am not sure what the difference is. Anyway good to know that DR people are also smart enough not to have signed onto the scam being perpetrated by Spain and Archie's. Maybe talking countries into unfunding UNESCO will keep the ball rolling. I am progressing with an Article for publication "Underwater Treasure Hunting-Hijacked'. Anybody have an email address for Duncan Mathewson(PM please).
