Cooperation and coordination between interested States and parties

 Swift response by law enforcement authorities is important to persons affected by serious crimes.

 Cooperation and coordination between interested States and parties should be undertaken in a manner consistent with international law. All interested States and parties involved should cooperate and coordinate to ensure that a full and complete investigation is undertaken. Regardless of which State undertakes the investigation, all investigations should be conducted in the most expeditious manner possible.

 The flag State and other interested States should maintain communications between themselves to inform each other about the initiation, progress and outcome of their criminal investigation(s).
