他还引用了上世纪80年代美国和尼加拉瓜的例子，即美国总统里根拒绝遵守国际法院的判决。

另外，Reichler还援引了俄罗斯和荷兰的“北极日出号”案。2013年，俄罗斯扣押了绿色和平组织“北极日出号”并逮捕了该船上的船员，还称这段国际水域是他的专属经济区。
The Netherlands filed a case before the InternationalTribunal of the Law of the Sea, which later on ordered Russia to release thecrew and ship. Russia initially refused to accept the ruling but eventuallyreleased the crew and ship.
荷兰将此事上报给了国际海洋法庭，随后海洋法庭就命令俄罗斯释放船只和船员。虽然一开始俄罗斯拒绝了，但最后他还是遵守判决释放了船只和船员。
