Wizz makes a good point about the difference in preference given to TCAS alerts.
The main reason the DHL disaster came about was that westerners tend to obey alerts whereas Russian pilots for example tend to be trained to obey ATC commands......thereby creating another conflict.

The whole point of separation is worthless if we are not all on the same Datum.
