    It means incorporation under international law, and not US law as

    <br>
    It means, oversight by a body/system which is substantially
    different from where key executive powers reside, and if differently
    constituted as to not have a possible close matching of narrow
    interests. <br>

    No offence, but I have no idea what this sentence means. <br>

    <br>
    The 'community' term has become like ' ether', existing everywhere,
    and in that sense, meaning nothing. But as the concept of 'ether'
    was abolished from Physics as meaningless, perhaps loose use of the
    term community should be similarly socio-politically abolished. <br>

    <br>
    My article is quite specific, for the 1400 words that I had.... In
    fact it is your response to it that requires specifics, and seems to
    be too vague. What exactly 'representing both internal and external'
    and 'community' mean?<br>
