Distribution of information and intelligence to appropriate agencies

  .18 An important product of an effective investigation, even if it does not lead to any arrests, should be the generation of intelligence, and systems should be in place to ensure that potentially useful intelligence is disseminated to all appropriate parties. These might include law enforcement agencies, naval authorities, coastguards, harbour masters and others that might need it and could act on it according to their national regulations.

  .19 Lessons learned from the investigation, even if it does not lead to any arrest, should be reported to the Organization and made available by the Organization to Member States, intergovernmental organizations and non-governmental organizations with consultative status in order to enable all interested parties to benefit from the information obtained during the investigation.

  .20 If information gathered during an investigation leaves the State in charge of the investigation with reason to believe that an offence of piracy or armed robbery might have been committed elsewhere or might be committed at a later time, that State should furnish, as promptly as possible, and in accordance with its national legislation, any relevant information in its possession to States which it regards as having established jurisdiction over the offences of piracy and armed robbery in accordance with paragraph 3.1 of this Code.
