Presentation
IPATCH is a European FP7 funded project. The aim of IPATCH is to provide technology to protect ships and their crews from the modern-day scourge of piracy which is proliferating throughout the world, bringing severe human, financial and political costs, as well as affecting international seaborne trade.
The aim of this conference is to engage legislation and policy makers, experts in ethics and law and maritime stakeholders, with the aim of discussing and reviewing the ethical and legal issues surrounding the use of different anti-piracy countermeasures and threat-detecting technologies.
The idea is to organize the discussions of this conference around several concrete scenarios that captains and crew could potentially face. Analysing concrete scenarios could be an interesting opportunity to apply ethical and legal principles (that sometimes seem very abstract) to more defined realities with the objective of making these principles more practical and comprehensive.
Such an event would thus be an opportunity to engage a dialogue on the legal implications of the use of piracy countermeasures between academics, policymakers, piracy experts and maritime stakeholders such as ship owner associations, insurers, captains, crew representatives, PMSCs navies, law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, etc.
