What are the libertarian views on the Antarctic Treaty System?
Why do they view it as a violation of property rights?
Libertarians generally believe that property rights are fundamental human rights and that ownership is acquired through homesteading or peaceful trade. They argue that the Antarctic Treaty System, which designates the continent as a scientific preserve and prohibits military activity and resource extraction, infringes on the property rights of those who would otherwise have the right to explore and develop the area.
