Anti-Piracy Campaign
This is an ongoing ITF campaign against international merchant ships-targeted sea-piracy, especially by Somali pirates, calling for effective international action to eradicate it. Part of this campaign is collecting signatures to a petition addressed to the International community led by the UNO. The NUSS too is now collecting signatures to this petition.
Incidentally, quite a number of Sri Lankan seafarers have fallen victim to this menace. In fact, one seafarer, a captain, was killed by Somali pirates in 2010.
