According to [[Codename: SURGEON]], prior to the [[Insurrection]], [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] officers and merchant men had a near-religious reverence for Common Space Law. During the [[Callisto Incident|''Callisto'' Incident]], [[Preston Jeremiah Cole|Preston Cole]] severely broke protocol by sending a fake distress signal in order to lure his opponent closer. SURGEON's remarks imply that as the Insurrection wore on, respect for Common Space Law lessened significantly. During the [[Human-Covenant War]] it was likely ignored altogether.
