Mozambique needs a specialised maritime court to combat piracy and resolve conflicts in Mozambican territorial waters, Dixon Chongo, an expert in maritime law and chairman of the Chamber of Customs Brokers of Mozambique, maintains.
“We want to look to the sea as a source of employability, as a source of revenue. During the process of acquiring income across the sea, illegality is bound to occur,” he pointed out.
“These wrongdoings must have their own forum to be resolved. We have to think, at this moment in time, about creating a maritime court and about the functionality of this maritime court in the process of sea strategy.
“We must ponder on how this court will work, whether in a judicial perspective, in the sense of a court of law, or in the perspective of an administrative court,” he added.
“This is important, because wrongdoing will happen. And illegality at sea cannot be resolved in the political sphere. Illegalities must be resolved in a judicial forum, and in a specific court,” he cautioned.
