On Traverse in International Law. (was Traverse Machine)

[Mark Kohut]

States have long recognized a duty of care to strangers traversing over
their land---for over
two thousand years, it has been recognized that emissaries and official
State messengers
enjoy a right of passage through territories other than their own.
                                        ---from a, maybe THE, major
textbook in English on Human Rights in IL.

That traverse must have some legal, or semi-legal use, I suggest.
