Another document was introduced, containing
information on the database on court decisions related
to piracy (IMO, 2013r) established by the United
Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research
Institute (UNICRI).
101
Statistics were also provided
by UNICRI, drawn from its piracy analysis, including
the average age of pirates, the region and clans they
come from, their occupations, when attacks are most
likely to occur, the number of pirates participating in
individual attacks, the use of motherships, the number
of casualties occurring in pirate ranks and the number
and type of ships boarded. The UNICRI piracy portal
also provided information on court decisions, intended
to make the database more comprehensive, as well
as links to other databases in different jurisdictions
and regions and information on post-trial transfers.
There was general support for the database and the
Legal Committee agreed to collaborate closely with
UNICRI with regard to piracy-related issue
The Legal Committee at its 100th session, also
adopted draft Guidelines on the preservation and
collection of evidence following an allegation of a
serious crime having taken place on board a ship, or
following a report of a missing person from a ship, and
on pastoral and medical care of victims. These draft
guidelines focus on what can practically be carried out
on board a ship to preserve and/or collect evidence
and protect persons affected by serious crimes, until
such time that the relevant law enforcement authorities
commence an investigation. They were submitted
for consideration and adoption at the twenty-eighth
session of the IMO Assembly to be held in November
2013, along with a related draft resolution.
The main purpose of the draft guidelines is to assist
ship masters in the preservation of evidence and in
the pastoral and medical care of persons affected
and, when appropriate, in the collection of evidence
during the period between the report or discovery
of a possible serious crime and the time when law
enforcement authorities or other professional crime
scene investigators take action
