Maritime Crime: A Threat to Peace and Security?
Will maritime crime in the global south pose an increasing threat to peace and security – to the safety of seafarers, to commercial industry as well as to local, national and regional stability? From organized smuggling over violent crime to links between illicit economic networks and politically motivated use of violence including violent extremism, the issue of maritime crime merits particular attention both in itself and as an indicator of geopolitical and societal instability.
In cooperation with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the Centre for Military Studies hosts a seminar with a panel debate on the impact and challenges of maritime crime to peace and security. The event includes representatives from the industry, the public sector as well as researchers. The panel consists of:
- Alan Cole, Head of UNODC Global Maritime Crime Programme
- Hans Tino Hansen, CEO, Risk Intelligence
- Thomas Mandrup, Associate Professor, Royal Danish Defence College and 2016-2017 Visiting Fellow, Centre for Military Studies
- Jessica Larsen, PhD candidate, DIIS and UCP
- Morten Glamsø, Senior Adviser, Danish Shipowners' Association
- Moderator: Henrik Breitenbauch, Centre Director, Centre for Military Studies.
