Description
A Reference to investigate and recommend measures to alleviate certain difficulties faced by the residents of Point Roberts, Washington because the only connection by land between Point Roberts and rest of Washington state is through Canada.
Outcome

Finding little local support for cooperative action at the provincial and state level, the IJC concluded that progress in resolving the issues in the reference could not be made under the circumstances and terminated its work under the reference.
