SC R109: International maritime law

Postby Polites » Tue Jan 12, 2021 8:59 am

Security Council Resolution 109

The Security Council,

Recognizing the importance of maritime trade for global peace and prosperity,

Affirming the impossibility of any nation to claim the high seas or any part thereof as its national territory,

Condemning the vile practices of piracy and slavery,

Recognizing the existence of admiralty law as a part of customary international law,

Proclaims the Law of the Sea as jus cogens, peremptory norm that is applicable erga omnes, to all states, whether they are party to the treaty or not,

Declares all bodies of water not included in the Territorial waters or Exclusive Economic Zone as the High Seas, and proclaims that all vessels sailing the High Seas are under the jurisdiction and protection of their flag state,

Proclaims the High Seas the common patrimony of all humanity and all nations,

Asserts that pirates and slavers, by engaging in private war against all nations or by trafficking slaves on the High Seas, render themselves hostes humani generis, enemies of the human race, and holds that all nations have the right and the duty to capture, try, and, if their laws permit it, execute any pirate and slaver they come across,

Recognizes the ancient custom of privateering and proclaims it distinct from piracy, recognizing that privateers are at war with only one nation, not all nations.


Yes: Selucia; Aldegar; Liore; Dorvik
No:
Abstain: Dankuk

The resolution was adopted.

In this Kyo name, the family name is "Bae."
Image Ms. Bae Yoo-bin, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dranian Permanent Representative to the World Congress:
Respectfully, Dankuk shall ABSTAIN from voting on Security Council Resolution 109.

Our delegation is concerned with the assertion of the resolution, namely that states have a duty to execute such criminals so long as their laws permit it. As a nation opposed to capital punishment, though supportive of the aims of the resolution, Dankuk is conflicted. We recognize our own shortcomings in not raising these concerns earlier.
