Maldives: UNODC convenes second Maritime Domain Awareness Interagency Workshop in the Maldives

Maldives/20 June 2022: UNODC’s Global Maritime Crime Programme (GMCP) held the Second Interagency Workshop on Maritime Domain Awareness in the Maldives.

The first one was held in 2021 as the first multi-agency approach to maritime security in the country, which proved to be useful as a neutral, impartial platform facilitated by UNODC to enable discussions by multiple relevant government institutions.

During the meeting, several agencies provided updates on recent maritime incidents, their response mechanisms and the challenges identified to achieve successful prosecution or impose punishments to perpetrators.
