Or maybe you are wrong.
We considered World Assembly resolution 334 but it does not help your argument. There is no other WA resolution that fits your description.
"This quality of research and reasoning is precisely why this delegation is not interested in making your edits.
"Initially, the act of rendering aid does not require overt rescue, and the proposal makes accommodations for this. To the extent you fear a carrier group would be peeled off it's course, you are wrong.
"Further, to the extent a state uses false indications of rescue as cover for a military goal, those craft are combatants falsifying the use of the status of hors de combat and members are not obligated to accord such protections on them. As they are not actually in need of rescue, their mayday is invalid.
"Any competent legal theorist would see several options available: provide aid without physically offering rescue, verifying the tactic as perfidious and taking action to avoid such entanglement under the associated provisions. As a hors de combat craft and crew are entitled to the provisions of surrendering combatants, and these craft are engaged in hostile military maneuvers, the entire issue is accommodated for.
"Ambassador, I am quite tired of dealing with your poor arguments. In the future, should you feel the need to comment, I would take it as a personal favor if you simply didn't."
