  This i true in all of asia and a good part of Europe.  I have
commented
along these lines several times on this list.  Unless you have a 
WOrld court precident or inactment, you have no legal footing
internationaly
with a 60 day waiting period.  Even than only those countries who wish
to observe those International laws to this effect, would necessarly
comply.  That narrows things down a little bit.  It has been somewhat 
popular in recent World court rulings that member countries in some 
instances do not comply even whan the are a strong supporter of the 
world court.  SO now  you have even less solid cround for the 60 Day 
waiting limit.  

  For these reasong and others that I hav already posted, it is my 
belief that the 60 day waiting period is at best a two edged blade
here.  Therefore, under current international conditions I find
it indavisable.
