'European Union Naval Forces' Takes a Firm Stand Against Somali Piracy
Add bookmarkEuropean Union Naval Force (EU NAVFOR) is a multinational force that deals primarily with deterrence and interdiction of criminal piracy in places like Somalia and the Red Sea. It also specialises in an escort capacity for the World Food Programme, which operates under UN mandate. We discuss compliance and cooperation issues with Lt Col Per Klingvall of EU NAVFOR and likwise examine the complexities of a multi-force mission, as well as implications for maritime reconnaissance and surveillance in EU and UK navies.
