Use of Force

Back to: Values and Ethics Foundation

The maritime space has become increasingly more complex and dangerous. While there has always been an element of risk, the world has seen an increase in the willingness of certain parties (ranging from the criminal to the nation state) to target civilian maritime shipping. Security’s role in this is not in the projection of power, but in the protection of persons, operations, and critical infrastructure. This module looks at some of those considerations but should not be considered a substitute for legal advice.
