This country report is part of a series of country reports written for the CIL Research Project on International Maritime Crimes. The country reports were prepared in response to a questionnaire.

The country reports cover the problems faced by states in effectively implementing global and regional conventions on international maritime crimes, and the ratification and implementation of such global conventions.

The analysis in the country reports was put together in a chapter on ratification and implementation of global conventions on piracy and maritime crimes, in the book Piracy and International Maritime Crimes in ASEAN: Prospects for Cooperation. The book is part of the NUS Centre for International Law book series and was a result of the workshop on international maritime crimes.
