Description

The relationship between piracy and maritime terrorism is complex. Piracy, when considered individually, may seem like a marginal problem, but its connections to wider criminal networks and corruption on land can have far-reaching consequences for states and regions. Piracy is part of a broader issue of disorder at sea, exacerbated by the increasing pressure on littoral waters from growing numbers of people and organisations seeking to exploit maritime resources. This environment encourages maritime criminality, giving insurgents and terrorists the freedom to operate. Maritime terrorism, currently only a low-level threat, has the potential to spread and become more effective in the event of political change. Addressing the issue of generalised maritime disorder is key to controlling both piracy and maritime terrorism in the long term.
