46 U.S.C. § 70501 — Findings and declarations

submitted 20 years ago by Pub. L. 109-304 to r/title-46-SHIPPING · 85 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Congress finds that drug trafficking by vessel is a serious, widely condemned international problem that threatens U.S. security. It also finds that operating unmarked submersibles on international voyages helps crime and terrorism. Both threaten safe maritime navigation and U.S. security.

Congress makes two findings. (1) Trafficking in controlled substances aboard vessels is a serious international problem. It is universally condemned and specifically threatens the security and well-being of the United States. (2) Operating or riding in a submersible or semi-submersible vessel that has no nationality, on an international voyage, is also a serious international problem. It helps transnational crime, including drug trafficking, and terrorism, and it specifically threatens the safety of maritime navigation and U.S. security.
