- Title
GLOBAL CONVENTIONS ON MARITIME CRIMES INVOLVING PIRATICAL ACTS.
- Authors
Roach, Captain J. Ashley
- Abstract
This article examines how the 1979 International Convention Against the Taking of Hostages and the 1988 Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation (SUA) collectively fill many of the limitations in the provisions of the international treaties on piracy. Further, the 2005 SUA Protocol makes significant improvements to its predecessor. Used together, these instruments complement each other in the context of piracy and armed robbery at sea. However, implementation through domestic legislation is essential to enabling nations to suppress acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea.
