Over the last two days I had the pleasure to participate in an online conference hosted by NATO’s Combined Joint Operations from the Sea Center of Excellence in collaboration with the three other NATO Center’s that specialize on the maritime. Titled the “Maritime Security Regimes Roundtable” the event discussed the key challenges of security at sea.

In my own presentation I addressed the question “Does the UN require a maritime security structure?” drawing on an earlier commentary in reaction to the UN Security Council debate on maritime security.
