Abstract

Sea piracy is considered one of the oldest international crimes. In the seventeenth century pirates were classified as ‘hostis humani generis’, enemies of mankind. This granted ships universal jurisdiction over pirate vessels regardless of location or nationality of the vessel or persons therein. This legal principle was maintained in the current international law of piracy (United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982, article 103).
