UN Meeting on Horn of Africa Hears UNOSAT on Geospatial Piracy Monitoring

  • Rating12345

RELIEFWEB – The analysis has been conducted over a period of years, and it brings into light new aspects of pirates’ behavioural patterns. The output of this particular activity of UNOSAT consists of periodical updates and maps including statistical analyses as well as evidence based conclusions that in some cases challenge common perceptions concerning the security of waters off Somalia.

UNOSAT conducts studies on piracy activity and produces geospatial analysis used mainly by humanitarian users and in response to UN Security Council and IMO Resolutions on piracy. These studies are part of the activity undertaken by UNOSAT in the areas of applied research for human security.
