Filed Under news | Leave a Comment
Tuvalu is small island Country mostly known by his domain name .tv.
Soon it may be known as “New Atantida” if global warming continues to raise the oceans level.
Scientist predict that in 30-40 years Tuvalu will be under sea level and will bring precedent of disappeared country without any military conflict.
Which is new case for UN and international law – citizens of the country will be not under any “refugee” law after they became “homeless”.
