'Piracy: orchestrating the response' is the World Maritime Day (WMD) theme for 2011, the IMO Council has confirmed. In presenting the proposal, IMO Secretary-General Mitroploulos said that piracy continues to be an endemic problem for the international community, not only around the Horn of Africa but in other parts of the world as well, despite the many and varied efforts to contain, if not eradicate, it.
