islands as a definite act of aggression by sea against
territories regarded by His Highness as his own. As
His Majesty's Government is liable according to treaty
to protect the Bahrain Government from aggression by
sea and as the Ruler of Bahrain has placed in the hands
of His Majesty's Government the right to represent him
in dealing with other states His Highness earnestly
requests His Majesty's Government to protect him against
this encroachment on his territories by causing the
