1. “Urgent action by the international community should be directed at ensuring that acts such as the deadly attack on the Mercer Street ship cease immediately and that the safety and security of commercial shipping are safeguarded. We call on all States to uphold freedom of navigation as one of the most legitimate rights enshrined in the law of the sea.”

2. “The drone attack on the Mercer Street vessel – a merchant ship that was engaged in peaceful navigation off the coast of Oman, in full compliance with international law and using a well-established shipping lane – constitutes a flagrant breach of the relevant norms of international law. This deliberate and completely unjustified action, resulting in the death of one Romanian and one British national, gravely infringes the rules enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, in particular those pertaining to the freedom of navigation – one of the oldest and best-recognized components of the legal regime of the sea.”

3. “Romania aligns itself with the statement submitted by the European Union delegation on behalf of the European Union and its member States. The unimpeded exercise of the freedom of navigation is a sine qua non condition for the normal conduct of international trade and for the stability of the world economy. Keeping the seas safe and ensuring that merchant vessels are able to move and operate freely and safely, in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, without being attacked or threatened, are critical imperatives. All States have a vested interest in a secure maritime domain and in the protection of the sea lanes of communication, in particular of key routes used for maritime navigation; respect for international law is indispensable in order to reach these objectives.”
