[Outages-discussion] Cogent disconnecting Russia

[Matthew Petach]

If they're going to follow the War Conventions in the Hauge, they should
likewise terminate all customer connections to Ukraine as well, if they're
considering themselves to be a neutral party.

Of course, that doesn't apply if they're taking a side as a participant in
the conflict.

Shamelessly copying from Sean Donelan...

Convention (V) respecting the Rights and Duties of Neutral Powers and
Persons in Case of War on Land. The Hague, 18 October 1907.

Art. 8. A neutral Power is not called upon to forbid or restrict the use
on behalf of the belligerents of telegraph or telephone cables or of
wireless telegraphy apparatus belonging to it or to companies or private
individuals.


CHAPTER I : THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF NEUTRAL POWERS - ART. 9.

Art. 9. Every measure of restriction or prohibition taken by a neutral
Power in regard to the matters referred to in Articles 7 and 8

A neutral Power must see to the same obligation being observed by
companies or private individuals owning telegraph or telephone cables or
wireless telegraphy apparatus.
