The Asian Ship owners’ Forum has decided to call for a UN resolution which would manage armed personnel on board ships sailing through pirate infested waters. The voluntary international forum ‘Working Group 3’ which was formed three years ago to combat piracy wants the UN should follow the counter-piracy proposal.
The statement said, “The ASF has proposed its counter-piracy proposal to be seriously considered for adoption by the UN,”
“The key idea is to use floating bases on sea to serve as embarkation or disembarkation points for these military personnel.”
