  1. “However, the finding that pirates now operate in the high seas at greater distances is of concern owing to their increasing frequency. That is why my country is very concerned about the fate of ship crews who are taken hostage and serve as human shields for pirates. Moreover, the fact that the number of trials in the world against acts of piracy remains low is a source of concern. The review of the legal frameworks, the current capacities of specialized anti-piracy courts in Somalia, Seychelles, Kenya, Mauritius and Tanzania, and international assistance to those courts reveals several shortcomings, which are clearly described in the report of the Secretary-General under consideration (S/2012/50). Togo welcomes proposals for the establishment of anti-piracy jurisdictions in the region.”

  2. “My delegation thanks the various bodies of the United Nations system providing multifaceted assistance in order to build or strengthen the capacities of national courts to that end. Togo also welcomes the fact that the number of acts of piracy noticeably decreased in 2011, according to the statistics of the International Maritime Organization. Such encouraging results stem from a combination of several factors, including, among others, the activities of naval forces patrolling the Somali coasts, better implementation of the guidelines of the International Maritime Organization, in particular the presence of armed men aboard merchant vessels, and the imprisonment of several hundreds of individuals suspected or found guilty of acts of piracy.”

  3. “I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of Togo. I thank Ms. O'Brien and Mr. Fedotov for their very detailed briefings on the issue of piracy, which remains a significant concern today, in particular in Somalia and other regions of the world. Furthermore, for that reason the Security Council decided to urgently consider the possibility of establishing specialized courts to investigate and try individuals suspected of piracy in that region, with the participation and/or crucial assistance of the international community. My country, Togo, congratulates the Somali authorities and other States of the region on efforts to prosecute or imprison individuals suspected or found guilty of acts of piracy.”
