  FrontPage magazine.com :: The UN's "Borderless" World by Joseph Klein
This explains why the ratifying countries are the ones who are effectively exporting their economic problems to the United States and other destination countries, and why the destination countries in turn have not signed on.
Of course, nothing is said about requiring compensation from the countries of origin for the educational and monetary benefits the destination countries are paying to assist their poor nationals who cross the border illegally.
The developing countries would also receive compensation from the destination countries where their skilled nationals have migrated in order to find gainful employment that is not available back home.

 Borderless country - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A borderless country may be defined as an island nation, an insular territory over which a nation-state maintains sovereignty under international law, that does not share the land territory of the island with other nation-states which are sovereign under international law.
For example, the Republic of Ireland shares the island of Ireland with Northern Ireland and thus is not borderless.
A borderless nation does not have to be located on a single island, as countries such as the Federated States of Micronesia can consist of thousands of islands.

 The DaVinci Institute
In the past we have associated the concept of country with attributes such as a single geographical territory, a common people with a common language, a common government with its own currency and its own set of laws and regulations, and a series of systems that tie the country into a functional entity.
Countries usually frame their citizenship laws with little or no regard for the citizenship laws of other countries.
Where one country requires a citizen to renounce the citizenship of another country, this renunciation may or may not be recognized by the other country.

 WTO | News - Speeches: former DG, Renato Ruggiero Services in a Borderless Economy
The gap between the richest and the poorest countries is still unacceptably wide, but the economic and technological means to close the gap are already in place - and I believe that many developing countries will be able to leap-frog phases of industrial development which in the North have taken decades to accomplish.
Ninety-five countries have already made provisional market access commitments on financial services in the two previous negotiations, and in the negotiations which are due to end on 12 December we shall see improvements or new commitments made by something like 40 countries.
Moreover, as these developing countries rise economically, their demand for advanced country products is also rising - a demand which will become more and more a stimulus to growth and job creation in the industrialized world as well.

 Consumer Protection in the Age of Borderless Markets and the Information Revolution
For example, one country may prohibit advertising that compares one brand to another or that makes a health claim for a food.

 'THE UTOPIAN VORTICAL WEB - LIVING ON A BORDERLESS PLANET WITH A DIMINISHING NATURAL WORLD.', by: Janet Sealy
The borderless nature of our LifeSupport of Air, Water and Soil ensures that beggar and superpower are equal in their codependence on the LifeSupport, common to the existence of Plants, Animals and Humans in Utopia.
Since each country is an interlocking thread in the web of life, each point or issue placed under the scrutiny of the Conversation's global discussion, will result very soon in the formation of a metaphorical ‘global brain’, to detangle these borderless problems.
The Utopian understanding for living on a Borderless Planet with a Diminishing Natural World would be a continuous, multiple looped United Nations Utopian Conversation and Celebration, deriving the germ of its inception from a revamped preamble to the UN Charter, which would acknowledge that the precursor to Peace is the LifeSupport of the planet.

 Enforcing laws in a borderless Web | CNET News.com
These are only two examples of companies and executives that do business online and are being dragged into foreign courts for selling products or posting materials that are legal in their own countries but that offend the sensibilities or violate the laws of another land.
Many of those who track such jurisdictional issues think the problems prompted by the borderless Web eventually could be resolved by treaty, but how such a pact will look is anyone's guess, given the conundrums already posed by the Hague and the Council of Europe's cybercrime treaty.
What happens when countries with harsher laws--such as those governed by dictators or strict religious rules--weigh in with judgments of their own and reach across borders to try to enforce them?

Even though it is largely recognized that national development may impair natural resources and cause environmental problems, such development could not be withheld especially when industrial development is required as a strategy for tackling the problem of poverty.
Thailand is a good example; we have developed from agricultural based kingdom into an industrialized country in an effort to upgrade our economy.

He said however that a date for the referendum could only be decided after a number of amendments would have been made to the draft constitution, and tabled in the House of Assembly to allow for further discussions.
Premier Amory explained that having laid the draft constitution for Nevis and the explanatory notes before the Assembly in accordance with the provisions and the requirements of the Constitution, it was found that there were some deficiencies in the draft.
An example he cited was the fact that the draft Constitution did not contain the provisional transitions that would provide for the preservation of the laws of the country when the people would have voted 'yes' in a referendum, to move to independence.

Others have tried to convey a sense of Tibet's unique form of Buddhism, though here again some say the authenticity may be celluloid thin.
These efforts form what amounts to a virtual Tibet, a borderless country manipulated not by China but by the TV viewer's remote control.
Lopez, a professor of Buddhist and Tibetan studies at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, argues that all such visions stem from a colonial mind-set that denies the Tibetan people the right to their own lives.
