TunisiaSHADEMED Conference: EUNAVFOR MED IRINI to focus on challenges for cooperation in the Mediterranean
Operation EUNAVFOR MED IRINI is organising the 9th SHADEMED Conference on “Challenges for cooperation in the Mediterranean after the global pandemic” on 26 and 27 November.
Shared Awareness and De-confliction in the Mediterranean (SHADE MED) is a forum where representatives from different nations and organizations with an interest in stability and security in the Mediterranean Sea can meet to reach common aims. The purpose is to meet and share situational awareness and assess the evolution, trends and best practices in the region.
Due to current health COVID-19 restrictions, the event will be held entirely in video-teleconference.
Operation Irini (named after the Greek goddess for “peace”) was planned in a very short timeframe and launched on 31 March 2020, following a decision by the Council of the European Union. The main task is the implementation of the arms embargo on Libya under the relevant UN Security Council resolutions. The Operation also has secondary tasks including monitoring illegal oil trafficking from Libya, contributing to countering human trafficking and smuggling activities (through air monitoring) and contributing to the training of the Libyan Coast Guard and Navy.
