<DIV></DIV>Olof:<BR>Chuck Gomes asked me to reply to your question:<BR><FONT
color=#000080 size=2>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 clarifying name protection for them all, a kind of “Paris Convention
+”<BR>or<BR>c) something else?<BR><BR></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>David<BR>David W.
