Explanation:

The benefits of the "General Maritime Treaty" where

• Because the Treaty banned piracy in the Persian Gulf, piracy on the coast was virtually eliminated though occasionally a few incidents occurred, and the level of maritime war – in particular against foreign vessels – was dramatically reduced.
• The treaty banned slavery. The treaty provided for the exchange of envoys so as to make the so-called "friendly Arabs" act together against external forces and refrain from killing people after they gave up their weapons or to take them as slaves. The Treaty prohibits the transport by vessels of slaves "from the coast of Africa or elsewhere."
• It was part of the UK strategic strategy to ensure that open lines of communication between the British  and the Arabs existed.The "friendly Arabs" would be free to trade, leave, and enter British ports and the UK Government would notice if it were to be attacked.
