A rich and common past, a promising future
"Italy is eager to establish the truth of the Enrica Lexie incident."
Piracy is a common enemy. It is a menace we need to fight in close cooperation and with the strongest determination, if we want sailors to continue to navigate the seas safely. The Hindu : Opinion / Op-Ed : A rich and common past, a promising future: As peoples who live by the sea, both Indians and Italians strongly feel the loss of two fishermen who went out to sea that day, just as any other day, to do their job and support their families.
India and Italy have a rich common past. But the future is before us, open to new avenues for cooperation, in a world that is fast becoming more integrated and interconnected. We can work together for a better life for future generations.
The author, Giulio Terzi is Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy.

Italy is wrong on sea law
"The shooting of Indian fishermen by Italian marines aboard the Enrica Lexie brings to the fore the need to understand the Law of the Sea as understood by seafaring nations"
The Hindu : Opinion / Op-Ed : Italy is wrong on sea law: The United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), as quoted by the Italian authorities, to is taken out of context. So neither article 97 or Annexure III is relevant to this case.This case definitely does not come under any of the provisions of UNCLOS or any other convention connected with international piracy.
Killing someone is a crime; the accused has to face charges. But how and where must be decided by the authorities keeping in view diplomatic conditions.

Encounter at mid-sea
"Nothing can remotely explain, let alone justify, the killing of two Indian fishermen by Italian Navy marines on board a merchant vessel who mistook them for pirates. "
The Hindu : Opinion / Editorial : Encounter at mid-sea: Although India summoned the Italian Ambassador and registered its protest at the killing, this nasty incident calls for concerted efforts among governments to prevent similar mid-sea misadventures. India is part of the global effort to patrol the piracy-affected sea lanes of the Indian Ocean, but not enough seems to have been done to prevent tragic mix-ups of this kind.

While taking steps at the international level to guard against the killing of innocents on the high seas, India's unsuspecting fishermen also need to be made aware of the different kinds of dangers they might have to face in pursuit of their livelihood.
