Gulf Agreement of 1993 (Alternity)

The Gulf Agreement of 1993 was a treaty signed by multiple East African nations and even the United States and Oman in August 1993, a treaty that pledged to bring the growing threats of piracy in the eastern Indian Ocean, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea under control - through shows of naval force - by 2005. In the four years since it was signed, the Agreement has expanded to include Kerguelen, Sindhustan, France, and even India, while pirate attacks in the region have declined by over 50%.
