“My country urges all States to combine efforts and work together to combat piracy, to which ships sailing under the Panamanian flag have fallen victim; to strengthen the necessary international cooperation; and to enhance the financial and technical assistance needed to resolve the insecurity that currently affects all ships passing through high-risk waters and threatens maritime trade in general.”

“As one of the leading flag States of the world, we believe that the decision to use force and firearms on board falls exclusively to captains and seafarers, who must at all time maintain total control of the vessel. We therefore suggest that this matter be regulated separately, with clear international guidelines that would allow countries to establish the necessary parameters to regulate the use of force and weapons on board, and to ensure that there is appropriate coordination with security companies.”

“The implementation in our country of a long-range identification and tracking system has become a very useful instrument for countering the scourge, as it has allowed for real-time monitoring of ships in high-risk zones that are not showing any movement, enabling us to communicate immediately with seafarers and air and naval forces. I am pleased to inform the Council that the Panamanian Maritime Authority adopted resolution No. 106-13-DGMM. on 8 March 2012, which established an accreditation procedure for security companies offering armed personnel services on board Panamanian- registered ships, based on the guidelines issued by the Organization to ensure that security company personnel have the necessary qualifications and certification.”

“In that regard, we acknowledge the framework set out by the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, which addresses the crime ofpiracy in its articles 100 to 107, which are consistent with Panamanian legislation. To reduce the risks of piracy, it will be important to develop and implement best management practices - that is, the application of self-protection measures for ships - aimed at optimizing safety in navigation, contributing to the reduction of pirate attacks through an information system and coordination of movements with military forces in the area, and the application of self-protection measures developed to help ships fight off such attacks.”

“Mr. Thalassines (Panama) (spoke in Spanish): I wish to thank your delegation, Sir, for having organized this open debate of the Security Council on an issue of such importance to the global maritime community and for international security. Panama expresses its great concern at the growing insecurity that piracy continues to cause along navigation routes. We note with satisfaction the work that has been carried out by the Security Council over the past few years, but we see it as only the beginning of the development of more effective policies and measures to contain and eradicate this scourge. Panama affirms that effectively combating piracy requires an adequate legal framework.”
