Enclave Countries

In this context, Enclave Countries means: countries that are isolated from see ports and don’t have direct access to them.

In other words, an “international enclave is an isolated part of a foreign State’s territory entirely surrounded by the territory of only one other State (the surrounding State) so that it has no communication with the territory of the State to which it belongs (the mother or main State) other than through the territory of the surrounding State. The same territory is an exclave from the point of view of the mother State. If the two states form parts of a common federal State, any enclaves will lack a foreign element and remain domestic in nature. Only a quasi-enclave arises if a part of a State’s territory, despite geographical connection with its main territory, remains inaccessible by way of its own territory because of topographical factors. No enclave is in issue where part of a State’s territory is surrounded by that of another but enjoys direct access to the sea.” (1)
