Block/Suspend sanctions on address space.

Based on events with Russian aggression on Ukrain.

Policy Proposal for discussion.

Update RIPE NCC policy in according to be able suspend management of internet resource numbers in RIPE NCC database of the countries under Sanctions in EU/US.

This is necessary for direct influence on the side subjected to sanctions.

This applies in particular to governmental and related organizations.

For these purposes, for example, government and related companies of the state subject to sanctions are limited to control and access to Lirportal and Maintainers, and forcefully remove all objects operating under the ASN of these institutions. This will entail the impossibility of the state to carry out activities related to the use of IT technology, the Internet, the spread of propaganda and fakes, including (armies of bots from different IPs, cyber attacks initiated by the state, and much more)

Since the RIPE NCC implements the decisions of the RIPE community, it is proposed to introduce a change in the Ripe policy related to the implementation of global and European sanctions.

This policy can only be applied to states under sanctions. These states should not be able to obtain and use ASNs and IP addresses for government purposes. Ripe sanctions should not apply to ordinary users, since the total shutdown of all LIRs located inside the state under sanctions will lead to the inevitable transition to an internal network controlled by government services and deprive the population of communication with the outside world and information.
