Interior Ministry urges stronger maritime cooperation
The UAE Ministry of Interior has focused on enhancing international cooperation to ensure the integrity of maritime supply chains and combat their exploitation in criminal activities. They emphasized the importance of dismantling criminal networks at their source and preventing the arrival of illegal shipments. The ministry also highlighted the critical role of the shipping sector in early risk detection and rapid information exchange before ships set sail, which plays a vital role in reducing threats and protecting communities. This is supported by technology to detect illicit routes and assist legitimate vessels. These efforts are part of international initiatives such as (I2LEC), in collaboration with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, aimed at combating the smuggling of stolen timber, illegal wildlife, and hazardous waste through multiple routes involving criminal networks, forged documents, and altered seals.
