At the UN Security Council, India has highlighted the problem of hostages being taken by pirates in the Indian Ocean. The Indian mission to the UN, said in statement, so far the Security Council had not considered the problems of hostages taken by pirates. However, the statement said, at India's initiative, the Security Council adopted a resolution yesterday that called for a comprehensive response to tackle piracy and its underlying causes by the international community. It called for an immediate release of all hostages. The resolution said, the council decides to urgently consider the establishment of specialised Somali courts to try suspected pirates both in Somalia and in the region, including an extra-territorial Somali specialised anti-piracy court.
