The Antarctic Treaty - Main Points - 11 slides
8 - Jurisdiction - Antarctica does not belong to any one nation or group of nations, when you are in Antarctica you are not in any country and therefore not subject to the laws of any other country. You are however subject to the laws of your own country, if you break any of the rules of the Antarctic Treaty you face the laws on that when you return home.
If you commit an act that would be a crime under the laws of your own country, you will face justice when you return (or are taken) home.
