evidence: Rockall is situated in a remote part of the North Atlantic and is about 160 nautical miles west of the Scottish islands of St. Kilda and 230 nautical miles to the north-west of Donegal. [...] As the UN’s rules explicitly apply to "rocks which cannot sustain human habitation", there have been attempts to prove that Rockall is in fact an island and does not fall into that category. [...] For the moment though, the status of the Rockall remains that the UK claims is at part of its territory. While Ireland does not accept this claim, neither does it argue that Rockall is Irish.
