  1. “What we are working for is an Africa that is free and responsible and willing and able to take advantage of all its resources and to act so as to develop its potential, particularly that which is represented by maritime space and to harness that so as to deliver development and well-being for our peoples. That is the essential purpose, as it were, of the Lome Summit scheduled for 15 October.”

  2. “Furthermore, the draft charter seeks to pave the way for further initiatives and actions and the marshalling of resources to enable us to achieve our basic goals, which are essentially to heighten awareness and ensure that we have the necessary legal tools for all African States to be able to tackle the phenomenon of insecurity at sea. The Extraordinary Summit of the Heads of State and Government of the African Union, scheduled to take place on 15 October in Lome, will no doubt mark an important milestone in the existence and the implementation of the objectives of the pan-African organization - the African Union - which is fully committed to the process of a renaissance of the entire African continent.”

  3. “The draft charter recalls and encourages all the initiatives aimed at the goals of protecting marine and coastal environment in conformity with the international instruments dealing with biodiversity and of promoting the sustainable management of the marine population and the marine species and their related ecosystems. The draft charter is also a melting pot of various normative African regulations governing the fight for security on the high seas. It is an instrument of consolidation and of regional and subregional integration aimed at uniting and strengthening existing normative frameworks, particularly those drawn from the Djibouti Code of Conduct of 29 January 2009, as well as the Declaration of the Yaounde Summit of 25 June 2013, referred to earlier this morning, and the 2050 AIM. Strategy, of which I spoke.”

  4. “It provides for effective measures for tackling illegal fishing, which has caused considerable losses for countries. Moreover, the adoption of the draft Lome charter should enable African countries to stimulate economic growth through job creation along the coast of the continent of Africa, particularly through the promotion of artisanal fishing and the commercialization of fish products at the national, regional and subregional levels. I think it is also important to recognize the importance of international trade and tourism in the economic growth of States.”

  5. “After several Security Council resolutions, particularly resolutions 2018 (2011), 2039 (2012) and 2184 (2014), we know that it is important that Africa, which is called upon to implement the programme entitled 2050 African Union Integrated Maritime Strategy, also known as the 2050 AIM. Strategy, be given an opportunity to take a decision on its maritime future. The draft Lome charter will also serve as an instrument for the development of a blue economy. The draft charter is intended to promote the development of a flourishing blue economy that is sustainable and environment-friendly in a well-secured space. The proposed charter encourages the implementation of a shared policy on fishing and aquaculture that would promote the conservation and sustainable management of fish stocks as well.”

  6. “There have been several African Union decisions, but this will be the first time that the entire continent comes together to adopt a draft charter for maritime security and development in Africa. Why does the African continent need such a charter? There can be no doubt that maritime insecurity in all its forms, as the Security Council has repeatedly stated, constitutes a genuine threat to peace and security in Africa. The problems with which Africans are confronted with regard to the protection of maritime space, which requires a collective and general response, justifies the convening of the Lome meeting and the adoption of the draft charter. The draft Lome' charter is an instrument aimed at fighting maritime insecurity and other reprehensible acts committed on the high seas.”

  7. “I would like to begin by mentioning the great importance of the Lome Summit following the various other summits held on the African continent. I assure the Security Council that, in the face of the current concerns having to do with maritime security and furthering development by promoting the blue economy, the twenty-sixth Ordinary Summit of the African Union, held in Addis Ababa, decided that the Lome Summit should lead to the adoption and signing of an African charter on maritime safety and security and development. In the face of such a serious situation, it is important to understand what we can expect from the twenty-sixth Summit in Lome, namely, the adoption of the draft charter. Never in the history of the African continent, in particular the history of the African Union, has there been a charter of that nature.”

  8. “Mr. Dussey (Togo) (spoke in French): I would like, first of all, to thank the People's Republic of China, Senegal and Angola for their initiative in organizing this high-level open debate on the issue of piracy and armed robbery at sea in the Gulf oquinea. That reflects the interest they attach to the promotion of peace, security and stability wherever they are threatened, and in Africa in particular. I would also like to thank the Assistant Secretary-General for his briefing on the issue under review. I appreciate the opportunity afforded to me by the Security Council to talk about this issue, which is closely linked to the theme chosen for the Extraordinary Summit of the African Union to be held in Lome on 15 October.”
