Letter dated 13 October 2026 from the Permanent Representative of Greece to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General (S/2026/818/Rev.1).
The high-level open debate of the Security Council under the agenda item "Maintenance of international peace and security" will be chaired by the Prime Minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and will be open to all States Members of the United Nations.
Emerging technologies are rapidly transforming the maritime domain, creating new opportunities while introducing new and evolving security challenges. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, autonomous and remotely operated systems, uncrewed aerial and surface vehicles, advanced sensing capabilities and cybertechnologies are reshaping both the nature of threats at sea and the means available to prevent and respond to them. Their growing accessibility, adaptability and affordability can increase the scale and impact of existing threats or create new ones, while enabling member States and non-State actors with comparatively limited conventional capabilities to generate significant effects in the maritime domain.
