Excerpt:

Centuries after piracy was recognized as the first international crime against humanity, the U.N. Security Council held its first debate Monday on piracy's rise as a threat to world peace and security. In the past, the council has focused on regional piracy outbreaks such as off the coast of Somalia, in the Gulf of Guinea off West Africa and in Southeast Asia. Monday's debate was called by Indian Ambassador Hardeep Singh Puri, who holds the council presidency this month. Seven percent of all maritime workers are Indian nationals, and many have been taken hostage. U.N. Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson said countries fighting piracy need better coordination and information sharing, and he called for stronger prosecution of apprehended pirates. He also called for an international agreement on rules for posting private armed security guards on merchant ships.
