The One Piece!
How about we give it to the descendents of the slaves in Peru and Colombia that were used to mine it?
That would be humane, empathetic, and progressive. Therefore you know it’s off the table entirely.
The governments of Colombia and Peru would be that equivalent I guess. So hopefully the Colombian government gives some back to the Peruvian government but I doubt it.
And off to International Court. If the ship is in territorial waters, though, the company will be SOL.
