Global Campus Europe-EMA Awarded Thesis 2012/2013 European Master’s Degree in E.MAHuman Rights and Democratisation FOREWORD The European Master’s Programme in Human Rights and Democra­ tisation (E.MA) is the first Master’s course in human rights and dem­ ocratisation launched and financed by the European Commission that later served as model for establishing other Regional Master’s around the world. Since January 2013 these are all connected and managed by the European Inter­University Centre for Human Rights and Democra tisation (EIUC) under the Global Campus of Regional Master’s Programme (GC). E.MA is a one­year master’s course aimed at preparing professionals to respond to the requirements of daily work in international organisations, field operations, governmental and non­governmental bodies, and academia. The programme offers an action and policy­oriented approach to learning about human rights, democratisation and international relations from legal, political, historical, anthropological, and philosophical perspectives. This interdisciplinary nature and wide­ranging scope of E.MA reflect the benefits of true European inter­uni versity cooperation in human rights education. It is an inter­disciplinary programme that reflects the indivisible links between human rights, democracy, peace and development. During the first semester in Venice, students have the opportunity to meet in a multi­cultural environment and be taught by leading academics, experts and representatives of international and non­governmental organisations. During the second semester students relocate to one of the participating universities in the various EU member states to follow additional courses in an area of specialisation of their own choice and to write their thesis under the supervision of the E.MA Director or other academic staff. After successfully passing exams and completing a Master’s thesis, students are awarded the European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratisation jointly conferred by a group of EIUC/E.MA universities. Each year the E.MA Council of Directors selects five theses which stand out not only for their formal academic qualities but also for the originality of topic, innovative character of methodology and approach, and potential usefulness in raising awareness about neglected situations or issues and capacity for contributing to the promotion of the values underlying human rights and democracy. The E.MA Awarded Theses of the academic year 2012/2013 are: • AHMED, Fatma, Unravelling the Puzzle of Piracy. A Somali Per­ spective, Supervisor: Prof. Hans­Georg Ehrhart, University of Hamburg (Germany). • BERNaerts, Jonathan, The Cologne Judgment: A Curiosity or the Start Sign for Condemning Circumcision of Male Children Without Their Consent as a Human Rights Violation?, Supervisors: Prof. Hannes Tretter, Prof. Manfred Nowak, University of Vienna (Austria). • DE MAN, Annelie, Are We Protecting Future Generations’ Right to Food? A Study of Intergenerational Obligations, Supervisor: Prof. Jean Allain, Queen’s University of Belfast (United Kingdom). • HESSLING, Leonard, Water and the Arab Uprisings – The Human Right to Water and Sanitation in Post­Transition Egypt, Supervisor: Vincent Durac, University College Dublin (Ireland). • ODOYO, Roselyn Awuor, From Russia with Love: An Impact Assessment of Resolution A/HRC/21/L2 on Sexual Minorities in Africa, Supervisor: Prof. Maria Teresa Beleza, New University Lisbon (Portugal). This volume includes the thesis Unravelling the Puzzle of Piracy. A Somali Perspective by Ahmed, Fatma, and supervised by Prof. Hans­ Georg Ehrhart, University of Hamburg (Germany). BIOGRAPHY Fatma Ahmed joined EIUC in 2012. Prior to this she worked with a number of NGOs in London and also worked in the field in Tanzania with grassroots organisations where she gained specific human rights, development and gender­related experience. Fatma recently completed a fellowship at the Delegation of the European Union to the United Nations (New York), where she acquired valuable insight experiences into the complex procedures of EU internal communication, coordi­ nation and decision­making, and the methods of work of the United Nations. ABSTRACT The UN Security Council has issued ten resolutions dealing specifically with piracy off the coast of Somalia. There has since been a growing concern among international, regional and maritime actors about the potential threats posed by the phenomenon of piracy as long as Somali waters remain in a state of lawlessness. Academics and international maritime actors have analysed the several dimensions of the threat to the global economy and global security that piracy off the Horn of Africa constitutes. However, there is a considerable gap in analysing the implications of piracy within Somalia and the broader local consequences. The present thesis addresses this gap and offers a Somali perspective on the dynamic challenges of piracy. Such analysis will inform the debate on prospects for long­term eradication of Somali piracy and propose pragmatic local solutions to confront the piracy problem within Somalia. The main body of this thesis is divided into three parts: Part I analyses the political and social context of piracy to understand why it has flourished practically unfettered; Part II investigates its core characteristics to identify internal stakeholders; Part III proposes to re­ think the counter­piracy approach to allow Somali people themselves to be at the forefront of tackling and eradicating piracy. Like past editions, the selected theses amply demonstrate the richness and diversity of the E.MA programme and the outstanding quality of the work performed by its students. On behalf of the Governing Bodies of EIUC and E.MA and of all participating universities, we congratulate the author. PROF. FLORENCE BENOÎt-rOHMER EIUC Secretary General PROF.

    July 2013 Edition II IONSPHERE Second Edition, July 2013 Contents Foreword 1 From The Editor’s Desk 3 Perspectives from the IOR Troubled Waters: Maritime Challenges in Asia-Pacific 5 ADM DR MARSETIO, INDONESIAN NAVY The Southeast Asia region is currently facing non-traditional security challenges; a trend that is also a global issue. From Indonesia's perspective, the region faces significant maritime challenges. As Southeast Asia’s largest country, Indonesia believes that Regional Maritime Partnership would be the tool to face regional maritime security challenges. As countries become more interdependent with one another, there is a strong need to manage maritime security challenges collectively. ASEAN Navies have the modality to develop multilateral cooperation, as they have previous experiences on bilateral cooperation and this must be further built upon. Conventional v/s Constabulary Roles – Where Should the 13 Focus Be For the Navies of Today LT SEAN CRAIG BATES, ROYAL AUSTRALIAN NAVY A powerful navy has conventionally been seen as the projection of sovereign power off its own shores. Conversely, the constabulary role is closer to home and has often been made a domestic issue with many nations having a separate police force or Coast Guard to fulfil the constabulary role. However, the focus for navies of today should be the ability to maintain skills in both constabulary and conventional roles, and be able to switch between the two roles expeditiously. The navy that is capable of dealing with all threats is one that focuses on both the conventional and constabulary roles. Natural Disasters in Sri Lanka and Contribution of The Sri Lanka Navy 26 SLT MM WIDANAPATHIRANA, SRI LANKA NAVY Being one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries, Sri Lanka has suffered significant loss of life and property due to natural hazards of 2004.

A researcher was stationed in each regional capital (Gaalka'yo, Boosaaso and Garoowe) both to facilitate more participatory consultative work with communities at the grassroots level and to assist the nascent administrations in defining their developmental hurdles. Research work started with informal (mostly one to one) consultation with members of the local administrations (regional/district), the traditional and titled community elders, local NGOs, businessmen, intellectuals, women's groups, the political leadership and otherconcerned individuals. International NGOs, UN and other Agencies operating in each region were also consulted. On the basis of these discussions, three descriptive and analytical "Regional Notes", addressing critical reconstruction issues, were presented in a draft form in late 1997 to internal and external actors in the North East, and to representatives of donor and aid agencies in Nairobi. Consultations then took place in all three regions with selected representatives of these groups, with the aim of soliciting their comments, corrections and suggestions to the content of the Notes.

Examining Maritime Insecurity in Eastern Africa Raymond Gilpin A spate of escalating hijackings in and around the east African coast between 2005 and 2012 thrust the Horn of Africa into the global spotlight and triggered an unprecedented international response. Maritime insecurity (dubbed ‘piracy’ by the media) raised concern in many quarters, not just because of the serious human, financial, economic and political costs to the region, but also because of potential geo-strategic implications. On the one hand, increasing unrest in this region could play into broader regional insecurity because of the potential for groups involved in maritime hijackings to forge alliances with violent extremist groups in the sub-region. There is also the possibility that the international response (which included the deployment of international naval assets in and around the Horn of Africa) could set the stage for superpower and proxy conflicts in the region.
