Conflicts in different regions are choking arteries of global trade & squeezing the global food system. Navigational rights & freedoms are vital for international peace & security & the flow of essential goods. My appeal: - full respect for international law – including law of the sea & international humanitarian law - protection for civilian shipping, infrastructure & civilian seafarers - upholding of navigational rights & freedoms - an immediate end to attacks against commercial shipping & civilian infrastructure in the Black Sea - full restoration & respect of navigational rights & freedoms in the Strait of Hormuz - an end to attacks against shipping in the Red Sea & around Bab al-Mandab.
