Security in the Southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
The security situation in the Southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden is extremely serious with civilian merchant ships being fired upon and the lives of seafarers being put at risk on a daily basis. Seafarers have been killed and seriously injured in these deliberate and targeted attacks. The co-sponsors detail the volume and the impact of attacks faced by civilian seafarers and request a detailed discussion on the issue within an appropriate group with the aims to condemn the attacks on seafarers and ships and to identify how to achieve a long-lasting security situation that can be put in place after the immediate crisis is resolved.
