Create special framework within UN to deal with maritime crimes: Putin.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday called for the establishment of a special framework within the United Nations system that would directly deal with the issue of combating maritime crimes in various regions.

In a virtual discussion on maritime security at the UN Security Council chaired by PM Narendra Modi, Putin underlined that the inability of some countries to fight crime syndicates, pirates, and terrorists.

This has led to an increase in piracy and hostage-taking. Putin said Russia favors a strict adherence to the key norms and principles of international law enshrined in the UN Charter.

Undoubtedly, our goal is to help ensure security in the Persian Gulf region and the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic Ocean, where incidents of piracy and hostage-taking have increased.
