IMO\u2019s ongoing work to counter-piracy\/armed robbery against ships and other illicit activities at sea is underway at the Mohammed Bin Naif Academy for Maritime Science and Security Studies, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (9-27 February).
\nParticipants from 18 countries* are sharing best practices and learning skills to deal with maritime crimes at sea \u2013 including piracy\/robbery, drug trafficking, marine terrorism, weapons smuggling, human trafficking and more.
\nIt is the second time that countries across three regions have been invited to participate in such an event, which is primarily intended for countries implementing the Djibouti Code of Conduct (DCoC) and its Jeddah Amendment.<\/p>\n
The training has been extended to participants from countries involved in the West and Central Africa Code of Conduct and the Regional Cooperation Agreement on Combating Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in Asia (ReCAAP).
\nFemale participants from Kenya, Philippines, Saudi Arabia and Seychelles, took part in the training at the Academy for the first time. This followed commitments made by Saudi Arabia to support last year\u2019s World Maritime Day 2019 theme \u201cEmpowering Women in the Maritime Community\u201d which raised awareness of the importance of gender equality, in line with the United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goals, and to highlight the important of the yet under-utilized contribution of women.
