CAIRO, OCT 21 (KUNA) -- A protocol to fight sea piracy was discussed at the
Arab League here on Thursday by representatives of Arab ministers of justice
and interior.
The two-day meeting, attended by representatives of 15 Arab countries,
discussed the protocol as a subordinate to the Arab cross-border
anti-organized crime agreement, media advisor for the Arab ministerial council
for interior Mutaz Salah al-Din told reporters.
The seven-page protocol encloses 17 articles, including Kuwait's remarks on
Article 3, which stipulates the implementation of the protocol in case of
piracy taking place in international waters, hence does not belong to a
certain country, he noted. (end)
