Why did Skyguide end up with getting the full blame for the situation when the Bashkirian 154 captain did the opposite of what TCAS was telling him.
This is a
very good question.

It is also interesting to know that in January 2001
one and a half years before Überlingen, a very similar incident happened over Japan.
Note the recommendation of the Japanese investigation authorities:
The commission recommended a.o. that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) put priority on computer orders over instructions from controllers to prevent similar incidents.
ICAO did
nothing!
Remember:
one and a half years before Überlingen!!
