10/13 Modern merchant ships record almost everything. Bridge audio, radar, Voyage Data Recorders, ECDIS, AIS and CCTV may all become evidence if lives are lost. The merchant ship is no longer simply a bystander. It becomes part of the legal process.

11/13 This ultimately raises a constitutional question rather than a political one. If military force is used in a maritime border operation and people die, who investigates? Who determines whether the operation remained within the law? Who watches the watchmen?

12/13 That question is captured in an old Latin phrase: Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? It is not an argument against border enforcement. It is an argument that extraordinary powers require equally robust legal clarity, accountability and independent oversight. #MaritimeSecurity
