[ncc-services-wg] Voluntary Transfer Lock Policy

Hi,

> I would like to draw your attention to the following contradiction. On the one hand, Voluntary Transfer Lock is designed to prevent the forced transfer (primarily) of Ukrainian resources to the occupiers. On the other hand, RIPE NCC, in violation of international, European and national law, recognizes as legitimate the documents issued by the occupation authorities in the Ukrainian regions captured by the Russian army.
> 
> This actually means that the condition of receiving "a legally binding decision/order" from the occupied territories makes it possible to violate the lock and defeats its purpose.
> 
> This conflict must be resolved before final adoption of Voluntary Transfer Lock policy.

I’ll leave this to the RIPE NCC legal team to answer.

Cheers,
Sander
