I know that we often tend to complicate issues like the "blockade" more than it needs to be; but we cannot afford to over-extrapolate the action from its purpose and authority.
(COMMENT)
What Purpose do border security measures and naval blockades serve?
ANSWER: To implement
(Plan of Action • A/RES/60/288) national efforts and bilateral, sub-regional, regional and international co-operation, as appropriate, to improve border and customs controls, in order to prevent and detect the movement of terrorists and to prevent and detect the illicit traffic in, inter alia, small arms and light weapons, conventional ammunition.
The interdiction actions taken on the high seas or the blockade lines to further the Rule of Law should NOT be construed as an invitation to an International Armed Conflict. Instead, these types of actions retard or prevent
Criminal acts intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public.
It should NOT be confused with a political purpose → in any circumstance unjustifiable, whatever the considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or any other nature that may be invoked to justify them.
Most Respectfully,
