  1. “I myself will be one of the panelists at the meeting organized by the Permanent Observer Mission of the Asian-African Legal Consultative Organization on 16 March to address the topic of "Piracy: Legal and Policy Issues" here at United Nations Headquarters. Thailand hopes that our concrete contributions have helped alleviate the problem of piracy off the coast of Somalia. We look forward to further dialogue and cooperation to develop a coordinated international strategy for combating piracy in all its dimensions, including the attainment of the long-lasting peace, stability and prosperity of the nation and people of Somalia.”

  2. “For Thailand's part, between 8 September 2010 and 14 January 2011, the Royal Thai Navy (RTN) dispatched its Counter-Piracy Task Group, comprising 371 Royal Thai Navy personnel with two naval vessels together with two airlift helicopters and two RTN Special Operation Units, to participate in the Combined Maritime Forces patrolling in the Internationally Recommended Transit Corridor in the Gulf of Aden and off the coast of Somalia. On 28 February this year our experts participated in the meeting of the Working Group 3 of the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, chaired by the United States, to discuss strengthening shipping self- awareness and protection and other capabilities in order to coordinate international efforts to combat piracy in the Gulf of Aden and off the coast of Somalia.”

  3. “Universal jurisdiction over piracy and criminalization of acts proscribed by various conventions and protocols should be useful tools for achieving this objective. Another deterrent measure that is already in place and that Thailand supports appears in several Security Council resolutions: imposing certain arms sanctions, travel bans and assets freezes of those individuals and entities engaged in perpetuating the instability in Somalia, including those who may be supporting or engaged in acts of piracy.”

  4. “The international community should seriously consider his 25 proposals, including the possibility of setting up special courts, with two special prisons for suspected pirates in Puntland and Somaliland. The approximate cost of $25 million for establishing them, as he proposes, should be shared by the United Nations, the African Union, the European Union and other organizations and stakeholders. The cost of piracy to its perpetrators must be raised to a point where piracy is no longer a relatively low-risk, high-profit enterprise. To achieve that, the problem of impunity must be addressed, and there is a short-term solution: deterrence of the perpetration of acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea through the repression and prosecution of pirates and those involved in piracy, including national and transnational organized groups.”

  5. “Thailand believes that a long-term and long- lasting solution to the Somali piracy problem can only be achieved through the restoration of peace and security in Somalia. The rule of law must be in place and upheld. Economic development must be promoted to offer employment opportunities as viable alternatives to piracy. Sustained international and regional aid and assistance for Somalia to help develop its economy and eradicate poverty are crucial; as is capacity building for Somalia, for it to achieve political and economic stability and security. A medium-term solution may be achieved in the form of the Somalization of responses to piracy, proposed by Mr. Jack Lang, Special Adviser of the Secretary-General on Legal Issues Related to Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, in his report (S/2011/30, annex).”

  6. “My delegation commends the delegation of China for convening this timely and important open debate on a comprehensive strategy for the realization of peace and security in Somalia. I would like to focus my statement on the issue of piracy off the coast of Somalia. Thailand has serious concerns about the problem of Somali piracy, which has increased in scope, scale and frequency. Thai fishing and commercial vessels are at times hijacked by Somali pirates. Thailand believes that Somali piracy is a symptom of various underlying factors. In order to effectively address the problem, such factors and root causes must be concurrently and holistically addressed through short-, medium- and long-term solutions.”
