> Commonwealth countries have extraterritorial jurisdiction

No countries have extraterritorial jurisdiction.

Some countries have a lot of influence over the local jurisdiction outside of their own territory.

The UK doesn't have much influence like that.

But if the UK has any minesweepers, I bet this could all be sorted out with a few phone calls.
