Özet:

Pirate attacks on shipping have increased notably in recent years. Certain waterways have become so notoriously vulnerable that the international community currently recognizes them as pirate havens. Maritime attacks cause billions of dollars in economic loss each year. The basic legal stipulations in international law, as embodied in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), have remained unchanged for a long time. Nevertheless, the present legal regime suffers from serious shortcomings, such as the problem of adopting an agreed-upon definition of piracy and practical problems regarding arresting and prosecuting pirates. The goal of this paper is to examine and question the adequacy of the piracy related provisions of international law. This paper will also put forward specific recommendations as to how to remedy them
