碩士 / 國立高雄海洋科技大學 / 航運技術研究所 / 102 / Rampant maritime piracy is a problem widely concerned about by the international society as it poses a serious threat to the security of ocean shipping and the interest of merchant vessels around the world. The United Nations Security Council even called on all nations to work together in the combat against piracy. However, under the present International Law, nations may encounter negative conflicts over jurisdiction for prosecuting the crime of piracy. The conflicts will weaken the strength of international joint actions and also the effectiveness of the Security Council’s resolution, resulting in failure of anti-piracy actions.
This study began with an introduction to the origin and history of piracy and then investigated piracy in recent years. Based on the distribution and the statistics of piracy around the world, this study also explored the trend in the development of piracy.
Through an analysis of the International Law, this study found that the narrow definition of the crime of piracy in the International Law is an important barrier to piracy prevention. If piracy cannot be effectively curbed, all nations will be faced with a serious threat to their national security and interest. The safety of ship crew members can be ensured through implementation of anti-piracy measures, but the problem of piracy must be solved by all nations working together. This study summarized a few basic principles and coping measures regarding anti-piracy. These principles and measures serve as a guideline on hardware preparation for pirate attacks as well as how to react before, during, and after pirate attacks.
