Sure, but countries like India and China break the “law” all the time. If they allow drug-resident strains of malaria to proliferate, it’s probably for population-control reasons.

Yes, but at the same time, the situation is worth considering, and the mosquitoes must be eradicated with deadly means considering that this new malaria is resistant and/or immune to the medicine available out there. It’s a desperate situation.
