The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Maritime Organization (IMO), in a joint statement, expressed their grave concern about the increase in attacks on satellite communications that interfere with the telecommunications for air and sea transport. Yes in fact, multiply - specified the three agencies of the United Nations - cases of interference that come in the form of jamming and spooling attacks that disrupt the systems of GNSS global satellite navigation and navigation systems regional satellite RNSS.

With the statement, the ITU, ICAO and IMO urge Member States to protect the RNSS from harmful interference affecting civilian and humanitarian operations, to strengthen the resilience of Dependent navigation, positioning and synchronisation systems RNSS, to maintain conventional navigation infrastructure for emergencies, to improve collaboration between the regulatory authorities, judicial authorities and authorities in the air transport, transport and transport sectors and to implement efficient mechanisms to the signaling of interferences.

"The safety of seafarers and maritime transport - underlined the Secretary General of the IMO, Arsenio Dominguez - based on the resilience of secure systems to support the navigation and communication. Interference with the global satellite navigation pose a serious risk to maritime transport activities, which could cause collisions and groundings. I urge all Member States to take action to protect these critical systems."
