  • Captain Suvarat Magon, in Maritime Security Strategy
    海幹校戦略研究 2019 年 12 月（9-2） ROLE OF THE INDIAN NAVY IN PROVIDING MARITIME SECURITY IN THE INDIAN OCEAN REGION Captain Suvarat Magon, IN Introduction India is the third largest and one of the fastest growing economies in the world today based on gross domestic product (GDP) measured in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP). India is a peninsular maritime nation straddling Indian Ocean with 7,517 km of coastline, 2.37 million square kilometers of exclusive economic zone (EEZ) encompassing 1,197 island territories in the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal and supporting world’s second largest population on a continental landmass of the seventh largest country. Consequently, India’s hunger for energy and need for resources to support rapid economic and industrial growth makes its dependence on the IOR a strategic imperative. In this environment of expansion of sea trade to far off and diverse shores kissed by waters of the Indian Ocean and beyond, competition with other powers to fulfill the ever-growing needs of own population and the corresponding surge towards overall development, the security of the seas is likely to be a key to progress of the nation and therefore assumes critical importance especially in the prevailing environment of multifarious challenges that range from traditional at one extant to threat of piracy, terrorism, smuggling, trafficking and hybrid type to other extant. The Indian Navy’s (IN’s) 2015 Maritime Security Strategy clearly enunciates security in the IOR as an unambiguous necessity for progression of national interests and it can thus be deduced that maritime security would continue to drive the government’s policies and navy’s strategy in times to come.

The Global Maritime Crime Programme (GMCP) continues to showcase the innovative and effective technical assistance UNODC is providing to help Member States to confront transnational organized crime at sea. In this Report, you will learn more about the work of the Horn of Africa Team, which is supporting maritime law enforcement agencies around Somalia with the skills, equipment and infrastructure needed to tackle not only Somali piracy, but also human trafficking and migrant smuggling as well as weapons and drugs trafficking in the region. Over the past year, the maritime law enforcement teams that UNODC has helped to build have disrupted the flow of ISIL fighters between Yemen and Somalia, saved the lives of migrants in the waters of the Gulf of Aden, freed hostages and enforced fisheries laws that are vital for Somalia’s economy. The team will soon be extending its technical assistance to Yemen.
