Chuck Gomes asked me to reply to your question:<br>
</span></font><font size=2 color=navy><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:navy'>about
the inner meaning of what you call the “treaty route”. Would that imply<br>
a) all IGOs do like the Red Cross and nail the name protection in their
respective treaties<br>
or<br>
b) some overarching treaty for all IGOs cl<st1:PersonName w:st="on">ari</st1:PersonName>fying
name protection for them all, a kind of “P<st1:PersonName w:st="on">ari</st1:PersonName>s
Convention +”<br>
or<br>
c) something else?<br>
<br>
</span></font>The answer is all of the above. The "treaty route" is
the way nations to protect their national interests and the jurisdiction of
their courts. <br>
