Did you have some particular alternative in mind that you wanted to propose?
Yes, the message you're replying to featured the word "suspension".
Sending the miscreant hijacker to bed without supper perhaps?

I do believe that the main idea here was *not* to have the nuclear missles on a hair-trigger *or* to launch them within a few minutes of the beginning of a hijacking event
Me too, what's the point?
but rather [the main idea here was] to *notify* the party responsible, and then, if and ONLY IF absolutely NO ACTION is taken to resolve the problem after some reasonable period of time, then, and only then, it would *begin* to be a real possibility that sanctions would be applied.
This is not stated in the text. I don't care what's the "main idea" was wherever and whenever it was. Either it's in the text or it's absent, and that's it.
Believe me, none of the sponsors or proponents of this proposal wants to see the nuclear missles launched mistakenly, for example, in response to a falling meteor or a volcanic eruption somewhere.
