S/RES/1976 addresses the issues of Somali piracy that took place in the coastal region of the country earlier in the year. The largest portion of the document is dedicated to the call for establishment of domestic law that address piracy and armed robbery at sea. The overall resolution aims at addressing the lack of law enforcement capability from the countries in the region while seeking for help from the broader international community. All in all, the resolution has an strong tone but still put forward constraints to the possible actions that can be taken by the enforcers of the law enforcement actions.
