The Cole Protocol is as follows: No Vessel May inadvertently lead the Covenant to Earth. When forced to withdraw ships must avoid Earth-bound vectors--- even if that means jumping without proper navigational calculations. Vessels in danger of capture must self-destruct.
The Cole Protocol was indeed founded by UNSC Admiral Preston Cole
