Saint-Malo by Geir Sør-Reime World of Stamps: Saint-Malo By Geir Sør-Reime The Brittany city of Saint-Malo has a long record of signifi- cant impact on world history and is itself a picturesque and charming medieval city, a truly touristic paradise. I attended a conference in Saint-Malo last year and had the opportunity to explore parts of the city and to experience the flavor of such an old and dense city. The fortified part of the city lies on an island at the mouth of the River Rance. The city is based around a monastic settlement from the early 6th century and is named after a certain Saint Malo. Later, the city became the home of the so-called Corsairs, privateers/pirates, who forced British ships in the Channel to pay tribute, but also explored lands far afield. The 60c value of the 1969 de- finitive series of the Seychelles depicts corsairs in fight (Sc.264). Seychelles 1969 Cor- The discoverer of Canada, Jacques sairs in fight (Sc. 264).

Saint-Malo has been featured on some French stamps. In 1938, a 20f. stamp featuring a view of Saint-Malo was issued (Sc. 347). During WWII, this stamp was re-issued with a 10f. surcharge in red (Sc. 413). The ramparts of St. Malo were also depicted on a 1945 semi-postal (Sc. B200). The latter was is- sued in aid of victims of the August 1944 fire that destroyed large parts of the walled city (which was rebuilt 1948-60). In 2007, one of the Aspects of Life in the French Regions stamp showed a view of St. Malo (Sc. 3299h, above). A won- derful aerial view of the city appears on a 2006 pre-stamped envelope (issued as a set of five devoted to the Rum-Route from Guadeloupe to Saint-Malo).

The Saint-Malo connection with the Falkland Islands goes back to Jacques Gouin de Beauchêne (1652–1730), a native of S a i n t - M a l o , who in 1701 discovered the southernmost island of the Falklands, now named after him, Beauchene Island. This island is now uninhabited, but there have been tempo- rary occupations for seal hunting etc., and Falkland Islands ruins of buildings are found. A Falkland 1990 Beauchene Islands 1990 stamp depicts albatrosses on Island (Sc. 521) Beauchene Island (Sc. 521).

René Duguay-Trouin (born in Saint-Malo 1673, died 1736) was a corsair with a brilliant privateering and naval career and eventually became Admiral in the French fleet. He was knighted in 1709. In the years 1702-09 he captured several British naval vessels in the War of the Spanish Succession, and in 1711, he even managed to capture the city of Rio de Janeiro and held the governor there for France 1973 ransom.

  • Corsaires Vs Pirates Ou La Formation D'un Partenariat Public-Privé Pour L'établissement D'un Dispositif Permanent Face
    Corsaires vs pirates ou la formation d’un partenariat public-privé pour l’établissement d’un dispositif permanent face à la menace pirate VALENTIN LARA* RÉSUMÉ De toutes les menaces pesant sur la sûreté maritime, la piraterie est certainement celle qui a le plus fait parler d’elle ces dernières années. À la suite d’une série d’at- taques inouïes de par leur niveau de violence, la communauté internationale dépêcha en 2008 une flotte militaire au large des côtes somaliennes afin d’y restaurer l’ordre et la sécurité. Toutefois, face aux coûts importants engendrés par un tel dis- positif, une certaine doctrine n’a pas hésité à soutenir un recours accru au secteur privé dans le cadre de la lutte contre la piraterie. Pour ce faire, la question de la résurgence des lettres de marque, qui permettaient autrefois la guerre de course, fut notamment abordée. Cette tentative d’employer le système corsaire d’antan dans le contexte des enjeux maritimes du XXIe siècle n’est pas sans poser des questions sur la compatibilité d’un tel dispositif avec le droit international moderne. Bien loin d’écarter la pertinence d’un recours accru au secteur privé, l’auteur met toutefois l’accent sur la nécessité d’établir un système durable au sein duquel les entreprises pourront participer aux interventions navales présentes et futures. Après avoir établi les conditions d’usage des lettres de marque par les États, l’auteur suggère fortement la formation d’un partenariat entre le secteur public et le secteur privé, dont les modalités devront écarter tous risques inhérents au recours à des sociétés militaires privées.

    LA TRAITE DES ESCLAVES La traite illégale des esclaves à Bourbon au XIXe siècle AUTEUR Hubert GERBEAU Historien http://www.portail-esclavage-reunion.fr/documentaires/la-traite-des-esclaves/la- traite-illegale/ 1 La traite illégale des esclaves à Bourbon au XIXe siècle Hubert Gerbeau, romancier, essayiste, historien, ancien vice-président du Centre universitaire de la Réunion puis enseignant-chercheur à l'Institut d'Etudes Politiques et à l'Université d'Aix-Marseille, où il dirige le CERSOI (Centre d'Etudes et de Recherches sur les Sociétés de l'Océan Indien) Fernand Braudel a écrit “La seule chose qui me passionne dans notre métier, c'est ce qu'il explique de la vie des hommes en train de se tisser sous nos yeux”1. Il ajoute un peu plus tard : “Le passé n'a de sens que par rapport aux questions que nous posons maintenant. Et les seuls événements importants sont ceux qui ont eu des enfants et qui agissent encore, directement ou non, dans la vie d'aujourd'hui”. Comme Claude Wanquet l'a montré dans sa thèse, l'esclavage est très présent dans les réalités et les préoccupations insulaires à l'époque révolutionnaire2. Qu‟en est-il en 1968 quand j‟arrive à la Réunion ? Des réactions contrastées aux questions que je pose me font penser, aujourd‟hui encore, que je peux m‟inspirer des propos des deux historiens : prégnance de l'esclavage et de sa postérité, même sous forme fantomatique, présence des “enfants” de l‟institution longtemps après l‟Abolition de 1848. En 1968, j‟avoue naïvement aux premières personnes que je rencontre mon désir de travailler sur l‟esclavage et je sollicite des informations.

  • 'God's Friend, the Whole World's Enemy'
    This article from Netherlands Journal of Legal Philosophy is published by Eleven international publishing and made available to anonieme bezoeker ‘God’s Friend, the Whole World’s Enemy’ Reconsidering the role of piracy in the development of universal jurisdiction. Louis Sicking ‘And so if justice is left out, what are kingdoms except great robber bands? For what are robber bands except little kingdoms? The band also is a group of men gov- erned by the orders of a leader, bound by a social compact, and its booty is divided according to a law agreed upon. (…) Alexander the Great (…) [asked] a certain pirate whom he had captured (…) what he was thinking of, that he should molest the sea, he said with defiant independ- ence: “The same as you when you molest the world! Since I do this with a little ship I am called a pirate. You do it with a great fleet and are called an emperor.”’ Augustine, The City of God.1 1 Introduction Piracy, including the ways in which it was viewed over time, is predominantly considered the way David Luban does in his article with the telling title ‘The Enemy of All Humanity.’2 This common approach takes Cicero’s concept ‘enemy of all’ (communis hostis omnium) as a point of departure and ends with the special place piracy holds today within the field of international law because of the uni- versal jurisdiction that applies. In between legal scholars are mentioned who used or adapted Cicero’s expression, including the medieval jurist Bartolus Saxoferrato (1314-1357) and the early modern jurist Alberico Gentili (1552-1608) who con- nected piracy with the law of nations.

P. STATHAM, R.N. AUTHOR OF "THE STORY OF THE 'BRITANNIA,'" AND JOINT AUTHOR OF "THE HOUSE OF HOWARD" WITH EIGHT ILLUSTRATIONS New York JAMES POTT & COMPANY 1910 PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN OX PREFACE A few words of explanation are necessary as to the pretension and scope of this volume. It does not pretend to be a history of privateering ; the subject is an immense one, teeming with technicalities, legal and nautical ; interesting, indeed, to the student of history, and never comprehensively treated hitherto, as far as the present author is aware, in any single work. The present object is not, however, to provide a work of reference, but rather a collection of true stories of privateering incidents, and heroes of what " " the French term la course ; and as such it is hoped that it will find favour with a large number of readers.

Le mot magique est lâché. En effet, ce mot qui contient le mot «or» a fait tourner bien des têtes, dont certaines pourtant bien faites. Ce mot qui était autrefois l’apanage des pirates et des corsaires continue d’exercer sur nos contemporains une fascination étrange, telle une pêche miraculeuse révélant monnaies, lingots, pierres précieuses et bijoux étincelants. Il est connu que, depuis la nuit des temps, ce simple mot a exercé sur des gens jusque-là tout à fait normaux un envoûtement inexplicable et des changements des plus bizarres dans leur comportement. J’ai assisté personnellement à certains de ces bouleversements. Des gens, dont la vie avait été un exemple de sérieux et de respectabilité, sont devenus fous et ont quitté du jour au lendemain leur «situation» (quel mot affreux) pour se lancer dans la folle aventure, jetant aux orties leurs sages habitudes. Arrière-arrière-arrière petit-neveu de Robert Surcouf (1773-1827), le «roi des corsaires» de Napoléon 1er, je suis, depuis trente-cinq ans, Conseiller en archéologie privée et l’un des rares Français à avoir fait de ses rêves une occupation. Au fil des ans, après avoir signé une licence de recherche avec huit gouvernements différents et découvert une dizaine d’épaves à trésors ainsi que quelques caches terrestres de magots de pirates, la définition du mot «trésor» est devenue pour moi beaucoup plus large.
