Abstract

Sea Piracy, in its original and strict meaning, is every unauthorized act of violence committed by a private vessel against another vessel with intent to plunder (animo furandi). A pirate has always been considered outlaw, a hostis humani generis. According to international law the act of piracy makes the pirate lose the protection of his home state, his national character; and his vessel, or aircraft, although it may formerly have possessed a claim to sail under a certain state’s flag. Piracy jure gentium is an ‘international crime’
