碩士 / 國立臺灣大學 / 政治學研究所 / 99 / Piracy is traditionally regarded as hostis humani generis, the enemy of the human race since the ancient Rome Empire. Even though in the 21st century, contemporary maritime piracy is still a neglectable potential threat to seafarers over the world. According to the International Maritime Bureau, their statistics showed a reviving phenomenon on piracy and armed robbery against ships since 2000. In 2000, the reported piracy attacked incidents in Straits of Malacca are 75, the highest rate over the recent decade. Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, the three littoral states of the Straits of Malacca noticed this deteriorated criminality, which will apparently threat this major international sea lane’s circulation. United States and Japan, the crucial maritime powers also bewared the circumstance, which caused their interests to intervene over the strait’s shipping security. Consequently, Maritime powers wanted to internationalize the straits of Malacca, which provoked the littoral states’ sensitive nerves in sovereign rights and territorial integrity.
Notorious piracy acts are not only located in Southeast Asia, but also boomed in the coast of East Africa, especially the seas over Horn of Africa and Somali coast. In 2010, International Maritime Organization published the 2009 annual report, which indicated the yearly committed or attempted piracy attacked numbers are 222 over East Africa, rated to 55% of the World total numbers 406. The pirates most originated from Somalia, which the country have fulled with hopefulessness atmosphere since 1991, and the M. Siad Barre administration was overthrown by rebel forces. Henceforward, the clan warlords, Separatists, Islamic armed resurgents made no limited conflicts and civil wars over entirely domestic land. The anarchic state toward the piracy acts was beyond control. Therefore, the Security Council of United Nations adopted several resolutions to authorize the capable member states having cooperations with Somalia Transnational Federal Government to fight against piracy in the Somali territorial sea since 2008, such as resolution 1816, 1846, 1897 and 1950.
The purpose of this article is to analyse the differences between Straits of Malacca and Somali coast in counter-piracy domain. The researching questions are trying to comprehend the anti-piracy’s role of littoral states and maritime powers respectively. Finding what are the vital variables to improve the good order at sea over Straits of Malacca and Somali Coast. Finally, assessing the possible solutions and experiences from case to case, helped us to make a clearer image on counter-piracy.
