LONDON, UK Jan 6, 2012 (Garowe Online) - The UK’s House of Commons released a Tenth Report on piracy off the coast of Somalia today which discussed Britain's role in fighting piracy, Radio Garowe reports.  

The report which discussed the economic impact of piracy off the coast of Somalia suggested that threat is not primarily against British ships but has effects on the economy worldwide. 

The report also discussed UK’s interest in Somalia and the role it should be playing, the UK government regards Somalia as key priority and UK Prime Minister David Cameron stated that Somalia “directly threatens British interests.”

It goes on to discuss the security problems that Somalia faces and what role the UK could play that UN agencies might have failed.

The report also criticized the UN Security Council's resolutions: “ Despite nine UN Security Council resolutions and three multinational naval operations, the counter-piracy policy has had limited impact,” suggesting that their have been a "gap between the Government's rhetoric and its action."

This report is crucial because the international community is engaging in the fight against Piracy with an upcoming meeting being held in Nairobi on Piracy and its effects on the global community.
