It is not in Frances interest in stopping them leaving.
Try a different analogy, that one was silly. I wouldnt follow anyone over a cliff.We need leaders going in the right direction.
If you had someone who was heading for the cliffs, and they really intended to jump off, and you had someone else heading for a discussion on the rent, the cost of food, the cost of energy, etc, and they had your interest at heart, which one would you follow?
The one heading for the cliff because they made you feel happy?
Or the one who you were aware would not achieve all their aims, but would be heading in the right direction?
Good job nobody is suggesting this.
perhaps we should stop paying them 1/2 a billion a year, in the hope they do.
may = permission. as a opposed to must = obligation - not ambiguous
your dishonest dismissal of the words, is obvious. I appreciate it's embarrassing for you to take a position base on zero knowledge, argue it for dozens of pages and find you are wrong. You must be used to it by now.

innocent = Passage that is not innocent is defined in article 19g, you've been told this already - not ambiguous

Contracting Governments shall(1) co-ordinate and co-operate to ensure(2) that masters of ships providing assistance by embarking persons in distress at sea are released from their obligations with minimum further deviation from the ships' intended voyage, provided that releasing the master of the ship from the obligations under the current regulation does not further endanger the safety of life at sea. The Contracting Government responsible(3) for the search and rescue region in which such assistance is rendered shall exercise primary responsibility for ensuring such co-ordination and co-operation occurs(4), so that survivors assisted are disembarked from the assisting ship and delivered to a place of safety(5), taking into account the particular circumstances of the case and guidelines developed by the Organization. In these cases the relevant Contracting Governments shall arrange for such disembarkation to be effected as soon as reasonably practicable(6).He's basically saying that if the people on board cant prove they are hobby sailors, they can ask them to go back to France.
