United Nations Security Council Resolution 2018
UN Security Council Resolution 2018 (adopted unanimously on 31 October 2011) condemns piracy and armed robbery at sea off the Gulf of Guinea, a West African region from Ghana to Gabon, where piracy has been rising. It welcomes plans for a Gulf of Guinea heads-of-state summit to discuss a comprehensive regional response and urges ECOWAS, ECCAS, and the Gulf of Guinea Commission to develop a united strategy. The resolution also calls for closer cooperation among countries, regional organizations, and the shipping and insurance industries, and says they should work with the International Maritime Organization to provide guidance to ships navigating the Gulf.
