The maritime sector is central to global development, transporting over 80% of world trade and supporting a large proportion of the global population living near coastlines. However, these same features make it vulnerable to exploitation by terrorist groups and organized crime, who may use maritime routes to transport weapons, personnel, and illicit goods while evading traditional border controls. The event highlights evolving threats, including the use of emerging technologies, as well as the challenges posed by weak monitoring capabilities across vast maritime spaces. It aims to strengthen understanding of vulnerabilities in maritime security and identify gaps in legal, policy, and operational frameworks. Organized by the Hellenic Republic and the Republic of Malta, CTED, UNOCT, and IMO, the discussion brings together Member States, international organizations, and other stakeholders. Key objectives include improving information-sharing, enhancing border and port security, and reinforcing the protection of critical infrastructure. The event also emphasizes the importance of international cooperation, innovative technologies, and data-driven approaches to prevent terrorist movement and activities at sea. Ultimately, the event contributes to global counter-terrorism efforts by fostering dialogue, sharing best practices, and promoting stronger partnerships to ensure that maritime routes cannot be exploited for terrorist purposes.","categories":["Meetings & Events","Side Events"],"geographic_subject":[],"subject_topical":["COUNTER-TERRORISM","TERRORISM","SEAS","COOPERATION","PHYSICAL
