Mr. Putin has asserted that he had no other option than to go to war with<br>
Ukraine.<br>
<br>
There are always other options. If not, then why does every country on earth<br>
employ its own diplomatic corp?<br>
<br>
Has anyone considered binding arbitration as a means to resolve these various<br>
controversies? It seems to me that that might be a more cost efficient,<br>
and almost certainly a more time-efficient manner of resolving a number of<br>
outstanding disputes that various parties have with AFRINIC at present.<br>
<br>
Andrew is right, of course, to lament the high costs of traditional legal actions.<br>
But in which instances has AFRINIC initiated those costly legal actions? None,<br>
I gather. It therefore seems rather disingenuous, from where I am sitting, for<br>
anyone to bemoan these high costs if that party or parties are also associated<br>
in any way with the genesis of any of the costly legal actions in question.<br>
<br>
