At today’s UNSC High Level Open Debate on strengthening Maritime Security through international cooperation for global stability, the UNSC was briefed by Ms Melina Travlos, President of the Union of Greek Shipowners.
Below is an Excerpt from her briefing:
“Shipping is increasingly being weaponized – economically, politically & physically. While our industry is resilient, it cannot & should not be expected to carry every burden alone. Its resilience should never be assumed, it must be assured.
We all need to embody the spirit of the UN in its truest form, standing together, not just in name but in purpose. We need to collectively defend freedom of navigation, as a shared global responsibility & a cornerstone of peace & humanity.”
