La lutte contre la criminalité maritime : vers une redéfinition de certains instruments normatifs de la stratégie maritime à l'aube du XXIe siècle ?

On the basis of his former publications, of his contribution to researchers structures and of his practice for the benefit of the community, the author stresses the inadequacy of means but also the dispersion of legal instruments and of political dynamics in various sectors of the fight against maritime criminality. This situation does not make it possible any more the international community to react at the speed of events to dam up phenomena likely to induce disintegrating effects (singularly at economic, social and human levels) against which it will be even more difficult to fight tomorrow. The current model must thus be reconsidered. It is advisable to partly seek the ways of a new political dynamics beyond the usual processes of negotiation which would be likely to lead here to the adoption of a new Treaty especially forwarding the catalog of the failures of its predecessors. Consequently alternative negotiating processes and soft Law will not be to neglect.(POLS - Sciences politiques et sociales) -- UCL, 201
