In the absence of such legislation, a court cannot order the revocation of certificates.
In several countries, we've seen courts ordering ISPs to block accessibility to certain sites involving not using DNS names (denmark and thepiratebay.org for instance, or the domain names transferred to US authorities just a few months ago) or block access IP-wise (Black Internet in Sweden). I am sure there was no specific law handling this, but the laws at least in these countries are flexible enough that other laws can be used to order things around.
Of course laws can change, but the advice above may address some of the concerns raised about the RPKI infrastructure.
It's good that it has been answered for dutch law, I wonder what equivalent question would have been answered in Sweden and Denmark or the US 5 years ago. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
