  • Benin's Maritime Security Challenges in the Gulf of Guinea
    ISSUE 12 | MAY 2015 West Africa Report Benin’s maritime security challenges in the Gulf of Guinea Summary Benin is confronted with various maritime threats. This includes piracy, which reached a worrying level in 2011. However, the country is now taking steps to preserve its maritime industry; particularly the port of Cotonou, on which the national economy largely depends. The latest initiative is the adoption of a new strategy, which is aimed at improving the coordination of state action at sea. However, the effective implementation of this strategy is a key challenge. Introduction DESPITE A SHORT coastline of 121 km, Benin has a relatively large maritime area that is equivalent to 40% of its land surface. Like many littoral West African countries, Benin derives most of its revenue from its maritime sector, which constitutes more than half of its gross domestic product (GDP).1 This important asset, after having suffered indirectly from the negative impacts of the initially localised piracy along the Nigerian coastline, was then targeted by pirates, armed robbers and illegal fishing vessels. The attacks in Benin’s waters reached alarming levels in 2011 and 2012, when the country recorded 21 cases of piracy,2 making it a high-risk maritime country. As a result of these attacks, as well as those perpetrated in the same period in the maritime areas of Togo, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire and, on a much larger scale, Nigeria, the United Nations (UN) Security Council passed resolutions 2018 (2011) and 2039 (2012) to support the countries bordering the Gulf of Guinea.3 Internationally, these resolutions showed awareness of the extent of maritime insecurity in the region.

  • An Ambiguous Partnership: Great Britain and the Free French Navy, 1940-19421
    An Ambiguous Partnership: Great Britain and the Free French Navy, 1940-19421 Hugues Canuel On se souvient aujourd’hui des forces de la France libre en raison de faits d’armes tels que leur courageuse résistance à Bir Hakeim en 1942 et la participation du général Leclerc à la libération de Paris en 1944. Par contre, la contribution antérieure de la marine de la France libre est moins bien connue : elle a donné à de Gaulle, dont l’espoir était alors bien mince, les moyens de mobiliser des appuis politiques au sein de l’empire colonial français et d’apporter une contribution militaire précoce à la cause des Alliés. Cette capacité s’est développée à la suite de l’appui modeste mais tout de même essentiel du Royaume-Uni, un allié qui se méfiait de fournir les ressources absolument nécessaires à une flotte qu’il ne contrôlait pas complètement mais dont les actions pourraient aider la Grande- Bretagne qui se trouvait alors presque seule contre les puissances de l’Axe. Friday 27 November 1942 marked the nadir of French sea power in the twentieth century. Forewarned that German troops arrayed around the Mediterranean base of Toulon were intent on seizing the fleet at dawn, Admiral Jean de Laborde – Commander of the Force de Haute Mer, the High Seas Force – and the local Maritime Prefect, Vice Admiral André Marquis, ordered the immediate scuttling of all ships and submarines at their berths. Some 248,800 tons of capital ships, escorts, auxiliaries and submarines was scuttled as the Wehrmacht closed in on the dockyard.2 The French “Vichy navy” virtually ceased to exist that day.

  • France and Security Indo Pacific
    COUVASIE2018_DEF-EN copie.pdf 1 09/05/2018 15:51:16 C M FRANCE AND SECURITY J CM IN THE INDOPACIFIC MJ CJ CMJ N Foreword by the Minister for the Armed Forces France pays particular attention to the Indo-Pacific region. Its stability is paramount for international security, as stated in the 2017 Defence and National Security Strategic Review. In the Indo-Pacific area, North Korea challenges the international community by conducting nuclear trials and ballistic missile tests, thereby breaching the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council. The military assertiveness of a growing number of established or emerging powers presents many challenges to multilateralism and increases the instability and unpredictability we are confronted with. Terrorism, which has severely struck Europe over the last few years, is reshaping and spreading to the Indo-Pacific. This worrying evolution requires a joint mobilisation of the international community. The maritime domain remains an area of tensions due to the challenging behaviour of some States with regards to United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and the persistence of acts of piracy. Finally, the effects of climate change and environmental degradations represent a major issue in the Indo-Pacific, and as far as in the Antarctic, exacerbating security risks. These major challenges can only be overcome through cooperation. Upholding stability in the Indo-Pacific, which is a source of overall prosperity thanks to its economic dynamism, demographic growth and technological innovation, is essential. This has to be set within the framework of an international order based on dialogue and the respect of multilaterally set rules.

Arrangements for response are based on the French POLMAR system - POLMAR-Mer for the maritime regions and POLMAR-Terre for the shoreline which were joined into the “Plan Polmar Guyane” in 2004. The designated agency through which the Prefect may exercise civil authority is the Regional Board for Maritime Affairs (Direction Regionale des Affaires Maritime) whilst his military authority flows through Le Commandant de la Marine (COMAR). In the event of an oil spillage within the jurisdiction of a port or harbour, the port authority would be responsible for overseeing and/or executing anti-pollution measures.

With its wealth of animal, plant, mineral and energy resources, the sea lies at the focus of environmental, economic and social questions that transcend coastal regions alone. The potential for development in the oceans is immense. This “new frontier” is as yet poorly understood in its workings, its strengths and its weaknesses. Oceano- graphy is costly, for the sea is vast and the marine environment hostile. But this research is necessary. This country has a presence in every ocean and every latitude and is responsible for extensive marine areas under its jurisdiction. France has decided to return to its historic maritime role. In the Grenelle Round Tables for the environment and the sea, French citizens had a unique opportunity to express their views and confirm the importance for them of the sea, the protection of its irreplaceable environment and the need to manage this common good of humanity in a concerted and responsible manner. The conclusions of the Ocean Round Table provide us with a remarkable “toolbox” to explore and use. On 16 July 2009 in Le Havre, the President of the Republic expressed the desire to see a Blue Book on France’s maritime policy. That is the purpose of this document “Blue Book: a national strategy for the sea and oceans”. I trust that this Blue Book will give us our bearings and help us manage those special places “where the sea meets the land”.
