本文探讨了与索马里海盗有关的各种问题，以及韩国、中国和日本这三个东北亚国家合作的必要性。索马里海盗声称，他们的袭击源于惩罚外国非法船只的需要，本文指出，他们对国际船只的不分青红皂白的袭击是不能容忍的，越来越多的袭击，劫持人质和索要赎金是对国际和平与安全的严重威胁。安全理事会设法达成了一项国际共识，即索马里海盗和武装抢劫行为对国际和平与安全构成威胁。在这一共识的基础上，安全理事会通过了一系列决议，其中列举了根据《联合国宪章》第七章采取的具体措施。安全理事会已成为调动会员国和其他国际政府组织和非政府组织资源的协调中心。在此背景下，韩中日三国应抓住这一机遇，在长期积累的合作与对话习惯的基础上，加快推进三国海洋领域的合作。特别是，它注意到新成立的三方合作秘书处，作为三方海军合作的对话论坛。这样，索马里沿海沃茨目前的局势或许能够使人对最终解决问题持谨慎乐观的态度。在索马里海盗问题上的三边海军合作或许能够为海盗问题本身和该区域长期存在的岛屿争端带来积极成果。
This article has explored a variety of issues related to Somali piracy and the necessity for the three Northeast Asian countries, South Korea, China, and Japan, to cooperate about it. While the Somali pirates contend that their attacks originate in the need to punish illegal vessels of foreign countries, this article points out that their indiscriminate attacks on international ships cannot be tolerated and that the growing number of attacks, hostage-taking, and ransom demands constitute a grave threat to international peace and security. The Security Council managed to come up with an international consensus that the Somali piracy and armed robbery constituted a threat to international peace and security. On the basis of this consensus, the Security Council has adopted a series of resolutions in which concrete measures were enumerated under Chapter VII of the UN Charter. The Security Council has become the focal point for mobilizing resources of the member states and the other international governmental and non-governmental organizations. In this connection, this article argues that the three Northeast Asian countries, South Korea, China, and Japan need to seize this opportunity to expedite trilateral cooperation in the maritime field on the basis of their past habits of cooperation and dialogues accumulated for a long time. In particular, it pays attention to the newly established Tripartite Cooperation Secretariat (TCS) as a dialogue forum for trilateral naval cooperation. In this way, the current situation in the waters off the coast of Somalia might be able to allow a cautious optimism about its eventual solution. Trilateral naval cooperation regarding the issue of Somali piracy might be able to bring a positive outcome to both the piracy issue itself and the long-standing disputes over islands in the region.
