  1. “This body would rely on support from United Nations Member States and actively engage experts, representatives of civil society, academia and even the private sector. We hope that our partners will consider Russia’s proposal in a constructive manner. In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that the Russian Federation is committed to our joint goal of combating maritime crime in all its forms and manif estations. We stand ready to continue to support the development of equal international cooperation in this area. Once again, I would like to thank our Indian friends for their useful initiative of holding this meeting and I would like to wish India continued success this month during its presidency of the United Nations Security Council.”

  2. “That is why we are discussing the issue of uniting, under the aegis of the United Nations, the force potential of the special services and relevant armed contingents of all interested States. Russia is prepared to share its experience of counter-terrorist operations, crime prevention and the identification and neutralization of criminal gangs, including those operating in maritime areas. We believe that it would be useful to regularly share experience and best practices of countering piracy, armed robberies and other maritime criminal activities. In this context, we could think about establishing a special body within the United Nations system that would directly deal with the issue of combating maritime crime in various regions.”

  3. “Our country is proactively engaged in work on a whole range of these issues within the United Nations and in multiple regional formats, including in the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Regional Forum for security and at East Asia summits. Russia also wants to build productive cooperation with the Indian Ocean Rim Association and the Indian Ocean Commission. We are also naturally seeking to help ensure security in the area of the Persian Gulf, in the Atlantic Ocean and in the Gulf of Guinea, where we have seen a growing number of maritime robberies and hostage-taking. The specific situation is aggravated by the fact that some countries do indeed have difficulty in combating transnational crime syndicates, pirates and terrorists on their own.”

  4. “As I have said many times before, and today as I address the members of the Security Council, I would like to underscore once again that Russia advocates strict adherence to the key norms and principles of international law enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, such as respect for sovereignty, non-interference in internal affairs and the settling of disputes through dialogue. I hope that the participants in our debates will agree with me that United Nations principles must also be applied to the peaceful and responsible use of maritime spaces and their natural resources, and to protection of the marine environment and sustainable economic activity in the vast global ocean. As a leading maritime power, Russia is doing a great deal to maintain and strengthen the international rule of law in maritime security.”

  5. “Therefore, it is so crucial that today we are reviewing meaningful and practical matters related to the fight against “piracy in the twenty-first century” with the intention of more efficiently countering transnational crime and preventing the use of seas and oceans for criminal purposes. As the Prime Minister rightfully mentioned in his statement, in order to achieve tangible success on this track we need to bring together the efforts of all stakeholder States, international organizations and regional structures – with a central coordinating role for the United Nations and its Security Council.”

  6. “I would like to thank the Prime Minister, as the current President of the United Nations Security Council, for initiating this session of the Council to discuss such a significant and sensitive issue, namely, modern challenges and threats to maritime security. This initiative is in line with the constructive role that India has traditionally played in the international arena by helping to develop multidimensional, mutually beneficial and equal cooperation. Seas and oceans have always brought together people and civilizations. Unfortunately, sea lanes also face many threats.”
