Ssssssshhhhhh, don't mention Reform.

You feel the need to say something, but you have nothing to say, Dick :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
No because it has all been said, you are looking for problems that aren't there. Pointless as you don't listen. What is your qualification to back up your claims?
 
It means they have no right to choose.

It’s none of their business where they are dropped off.
Motorbiking has failed again


It also means the rescue vessel has not right to choose

Nowhere does it state they can be dropped at the nearest port

22 Asylum seekers who are rescued at sea are not entitled to disembark at the nearest port or at the port of their destination. Indeed, the IMO Rescue Guidelines, SOLAS, and the SAR Convention treat disembarkation in general as an obligation of conduct rather than of result. What is contemplated is that States—eg nearby port States, the flag State of the vessel that rescued asylum seekers, the State from which asylum seekers departed, and the State primarily responsible for the search and rescue region in which the rescue occurred—will coordinate and cooperate, perhaps in association with the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees

Relatively equal to your claim of being an expert in war: I've hired a rowing boat on the Thames a few times,
And I've steered a narrow boat on the canals.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
On your level of expertise; that makes me an expert on law at sea. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

The bit in bold applies to asylum seekers.

It does not apply to the rescue vessel. SOLAS reg 33 details the rules.

Key points of SOLAS Regulation 33:

  • Duty to Assist: The master has a duty to assist distressed persons at sea if able.
  • Speed to Assistance: The ship must proceed to the distress with all speed.
  • Informing Distress: The ship should inform the distressed persons or the search and rescue service that it is proceeding to their aid.
    • Logbook Entry: If the ship cannot proceed to assistance, the reason must be entered in the logbook.
    • Obligation Applies to All: The obligation to assist applies regardless of the nationality or status of the distressed persons.
    • Flag State Responsibilities: The flag state is responsible for ensuring that ships under its flag fulfill their obligations.
    • Contracting Government Responsibilities: Contracting governments must coordinate and cooperate with rescue operations.
Additional points about SOLAS Regulation 33:

    • Search and Rescue: The regulation emphasizes cooperation with search and rescue authorities.
    • Disembarkation: Contracting governments must arrange for the disembarkation of survivors as soon as reasonably practicable.
    • International Law: The duty to assist at sea is also recognized under international law, including the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

It doesn't say anything about the nearest port.
