Estados fallidos y proliferación de actos contra la seguridad de la navegación marítima en las aguas somalíespapel del Estado ribereño e importancia de la cooperación internacional

Resumo

The increase of unlawful acts against the safety of maritime navigation in the Gulf of Aden and off the coast of Somalia has served to highlight the essential role of coastal States in the prosecution of various criminal activities at sea, as piracy and armed robbery against ships. The absence of state authority in this country is a key factor in the proliferation of these and other forms of maritime crimes. Faced with this grave situation has required the intervention of the Security Council. Its function was to serve as an instrument for promoting international cooperation in the suppression of these crimes, but the measures taken to this, with the consent of the Somali government, can only be temporary. The eradication of these criminal activities in the medium and long term, we need to reach a peace agreement that allows restoring stability to Somalia and the establishment of regional cooperation mechanisms that promote collaboration of coastal States most affected.
