What it rests on
  • Every state judges the case by what it costs them
  • So the organisation that knows most says least
  • Naming it triggers obligations, so it is not named
  • Early warning systems produce reports nobody is obliged to answer
  • Acting early is politically costly and acting late is not punished
  • Speaking publicly ends the access that lets us feed people
What it could not settle
Published as contested, never recorded as a no.
  • none: every pair the room reached was settled
What was predicted to follow
Written after the map settled. Nobody voted on it.
  • nothing recorded
