Abstract(s)
O Golfo da Guiné constitui uma importante região no Atlântico Sul com 70% da
produção de petróleo de África concentrada na região. Esta fonte de recursos energéticos
realça a importância do mar, meio através do qual 90% das importações e exportações do
continente africano são efetuadas.
Os crimes de Pirataria e Assalto à Mão Armada no mar são uma constante na região,
com um aumento abrupto nos últimos anos, do qual resultou o aumento da insegurança
marítima na região que afeta todos os estados que ali têm algum tipo de interesse.
A importância política, económica e geográfica da região do Golfo da Guiné tem
vindo assim a captar atenção da comunidade internacional para a resolução deste
problema.
Esta dissertação é um estudo de caso e utiliza um raciocínio de pensamento critico,
tendo sido realizada uma extensa análise bibliográfica e entrevistas semiestruturadas com
o objetivo de compreender as causas da Pirataria no Golfo da Guiné e a importância da
mesma para Portugal.
A situação precária em que vive a população, as dificuldades de governação, a falta
de legislação e a criminalidade da região foram as principais causas da Pirataria no Golfo
da Guiné identificadas. A tática atual mais utilizada é o rapto no mar para pedido de
resgate, com o número de vítimas destes ataques a aumentar abruptamente nos últimos
anos.
The Gulf of Guinea is an important region in the South Atlantic with 70% of Africa's oil production concentrated in the region. This source of energy resources highlights the importance of the sea, through which 90% of imports and exports from the African continent are carried out. Piracy and armed robbery crimes at sea are a constant in the region, with an abrupt increase in recent years, resulting in an increase in maritime insecurity in the region, which affects all states that have some kind of interest there. The political, economic and geographical importance of the Gulf of Guinea region has been attracting the attention of the international community for solving this problem. This dissertation is a case study and uses a critical thinking reasoning, having been carried out an extensive bibliographical analysis and semi-structured interviews in order to understand the causes of Piracy in the Gulf of Guinea and its importance for Portugal. The precarious situation in which the population lives, governance difficulties, lack of legislation and criminality in the region were the main causes of Piracy in the Gulf of Guinea identified. The current most widely used tactic is kidnapping at sea for ransom, with the number of victims of these attacks rising sharply in recent years.
