Maritime piracy has presented an increasing threat to global, economic, strategic and security interests, with the number of piracy attacks steadily increasing over the last two years. While members of the international community have attempted to address maritime piracy, mostly through advocacy and naval deployment, pirates have managed to adapt their tactics and are still successfully carrying out attacks. The geographical location of Kenya and the fact that it has been adversely affected by the activities of pirates, places it in a key position to curb the effects of piracy. This paper evaluates Kenya’s counter-piracy efforts and suggests ways in which Kenya can contribute more effectively to the fight against piracy on a domestic, regional and global level. The paper also offers a number of recommendations advocating a varied approach to defeat maritime piracy. This publication was made possible by the government of Finland. In addition, the ISS receives core funding from the governments of the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Details: Pretoria, South Africa: Institute for Security Studies, 2012. 7p.
