To date, no ship with armed security has been successfully hijacked. In 2015, pirates claimed over $170 million in ransom money for hijacked vessels and their crews. That figure represents an increase since 2010 when, according to a report by United Nation Office of Drugs and crime (UNODC), ransoms paid amounted to over $110 million. Ransom money is increasingly flowing into the legal financial system, while laundering the proceeds of piracy is causing consumer prices to rise steeply in the Horn of Africa and surrounding areas. According to a review conducted by UNODC, in twenty countries, 1,116 Somali men are currently facing criminal proceedings for pira- cy, while 688 are being handled within the region. This research reveals there is no au- thority in the international system that enforces the law in international waters, nor is there a true legislative organ. All rights and responsibilities of the States and the rules regarding sea piracy that are stipulated in the International Law of the sea is based on the consent and readiness of States. Therefore, identifying issues and formulating law is a time-consuming process. Moreover, this study identifies the legal issues that might prevent a ship owner from recovering its losses to Somali pirates. As a result, international organizations such as the United Nations, the Interna- tional Maritime Organization, have submitted many drafts concerning the codification of the development of International Law regarding piracy acts committed in territorial waters, and the actions under the command of the UN general assembly or naval forces. Furthermore, International Law does not permit extension of those waters beyond 12 v nautical miles, as discussed in the second chapter. The major maritime powers and the coastal States have found a need for a new legal framework concerning the jurisdiction of chase and arrest duty at sea. The maritime powers, for instance, desire a new law that would deal with the use of force on the high seas, while not infringing upon a state's sovereignty. The study establishes reasonable regulations on suppressing piracy and closing legal loopholes through which pirates have managed to elude the law. The cornerstone of regulations to address maritime security is placed in many conventions and agree- ments; for instance, the International Convention, UNCLOS and IMO, which are regu- lations mandated to make trade and travel by sea as safe as possible, extends to mari- time security. Organizations such as the United Nations, or international maritime or- ganization, should respond to threats in two ways; by developing appropriate regula- tions and guidance through its Maritime Safety Committee, and through capacity- building work. These organizations have been addressing maritime piracy for some time and a series of measures, developed in cooperation with member States and the shipping in- dustry, have helped significantly reduce piracy in the troubled spots of the world. Since 2005, regional co-operation has addressed piracy off the coast of Somalia, in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean, and is currently implementing a strategy for en- hancing maritime security in West and Central Africa. In 2009, the IMO propagated the Djibouti Code of Conduct, and the IMO’s SUA treaties were adopted in 1988, and underwent a comprehensive revision in 2005. These treaties provide an international legal framework to ensure that appropriate action is taken against persons committing unlawful acts against ships. These unlawful acts listed in the treaties include the seizure of ships by force, acts of violence against vi persons on board ships, and placing devices on board a ship that could destroy or dam- age it. This research suggests that the member States of UNCLOS should have agreed to review their national legislation to ensure the existence of laws that criminalize pira- cy and armed robbery against ships. In the case that prosecution is not possible, the code would dictate that States should extradite or hand over the pirates. Furthermore, State parties must agree to cooperate in a manner consistent with the International Law, in the investigation, prosecution and arresting pirates, and with respect to the interdic- tion and seizure of suspected pirate ships. The international community should promote the implementation of the resolutions adopted by the UN Security Council regarding the repression of Somali piracy. Seizure of piracy funding must be available to commit resources to this field, which will undoubtedly lead to successful prosecution and the seizure of funds in juris- dictions outside Somalia as an interim measure while its legal system is strengthened. Piracy-related business currently represents the main income source for much of the coastal communities, without which the communities may become destitute. Efforts must be made to develop an alternative viable economy within Somalia, in addition to interdicting the illegitimate economic system as stated in the final chapter of this work. The heads of state and government in West Africa stressed the importance of political leadership and the coordinating role of regions in combating the increasing threat posed by piracy and other forms of organized maritime crime in the Gulf of Aden. On the other hand, to make efforts more effective, maritime nations need broad- er international support. The commission was tasked to develop a holistic strategic maritime policy framework to guide future actions and cooperation and strengthen col- laboration. Addressing the growing problem of piracy off the coast of Somalia, and im- vii proving the regional capacity to counter-piracy, should be done by developing and en- hancing regional cooperation and coordination, all of which are based on the four pil- lars of Legislation, Training, Capacity Building, and Information Sharing. In this work, I present a range of guidance aimed at addressing maritime securi- ty which concerns Somali piracy and armed robbery against ships; this includes guid- ance to governments, ship owners and ship operators, shipmasters and crews on pre- venting and suppressing piracy and armed robbery against ships; investigation of of- fences and the use of armed personnel should be granted and enacted into law which are binding

  • MARITIME TERRORISM THREAT in SOUTHEAST ASIA and ITS CHALLENGES by ME6 Joses Yau Meng Wee
    features 32 MARITIME TERRORISM THREAT IN SOUTHEAST ASIA AND ITS CHALLENGES by ME6 Joses Yau Meng Wee Abstract: The threat of terrorism is always present, but the public was only given a wake-up call to the devastating impacts of terrorism after the September 11 attacks in the United States (US). Since then, many countries have stepped up their counter-terrorism efforts and measures. For example, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) adopted a comprehensive approach to improve the regional security. In this essay, the author examines the terrorism threat in Southeast Asia, exploring the possible scenarios of a maritime terrorist attack in the region and thoroughly assesses the region’s counter-terrorism efforts that have been put in place. The author also introduces an Opportunity, Capability and Intent (OCI) framework as a form of threat assessment, to affirm his stand that the terrorist threat in Southeast Asia is indeed very real. Keywords: Terrorism; Counter-terrorism; Efforts and Measures; Regional Security; Threat Assessment INTRODUCTION This essay seeks to ascertain a common definition of ‘Maritime Terrorism’ and followed on to affirm The September 11 attacks in the US underscored that the terrorism threat in Southeast Asia is real the devastating effects of terrorism to the world. through the use of the Opportunity, Capability and The attacks on USS Cole in 2000, MV Limburg in Intent (OCI) threat assessment framework.

  • Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial
    Navigating the Atlantic World: Piracy, Illicit Trade, and the Construction of Commercial Networks, 1650-1791 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University by Jamie LeAnne Goodall, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2016 Dissertation Committee: Margaret Newell, Advisor John Brooke David Staley Copyright by Jamie LeAnne Goodall 2016 Abstract This dissertation seeks to move pirates and their economic relationships from the social and legal margins of the Atlantic world to the center of it and integrate them into the broader history of early modern colonization and commerce. In doing so, I examine piracy and illicit activities such as smuggling and shipwrecking through a new lens. They act as a form of economic engagement that could not only be used by empires and colonies as tools of competitive international trade, but also as activities that served to fuel the developing Caribbean-Atlantic economy, in many ways allowing the plantation economy of several Caribbean-Atlantic islands to flourish. Ultimately, in places like Jamaica and Barbados, the success of the plantation economy would eventually displace the opportunistic market of piracy and related activities. Plantations rarely eradicated these economies of opportunity, though, as these islands still served as important commercial hubs: ports loaded, unloaded, and repaired ships, taverns attracted a variety of visitors, and shipwrecking became a regulated form of employment. In places like Tortuga and the Bahamas where agricultural production was not as successful, illicit activities managed to maintain a foothold much longer.

  • Barly Records on Bantu Arvi Hurskainen
    Remota Relata Srudia Orientalia 97, Helsinki 20O3,pp.65-76 Barly Records on Bantu Arvi Hurskainen This article gives a short outline of the early, sometimes controversial, records of Bantu peoples and languages. While the term Bantu has been in use since the mid lgth century, the earliest attempts at describing a Bantu language were made in the lTth century. However, extensive description of the individual Bantu languages started only in the l9th century @oke l96lab; Doke 1967; Wolff 1981: 2l). Scholars have made great efforts in trying to trace the earliest record of the peoples currently known as Bantu. What is considered as proven with considerable certainty is that the first person who brought the term Bantu to the knowledge of scholars of Africa was W. H. L Bleek. When precisely this happened is not fully clear. The year given is sometimes 1856, when he published The lnnguages of Mosambique, oÍ 1869, which is the year of publication of his unfinished, yet great work A Comparative Grammar of South African Languages.In The Languages of Mosambiqu¿ he writes: <<The languages of these vocabularies all belong to that great family which, with the exception of the Hottentot dialects, includes the whole of South Africa, and most of the tongues of Western Africa>. However, in this context he does not mention the name of the language family concemed. Silverstein (1968) pointed out that the first year when the word Bantu is found written by Bleek is 1857. That year Bleek prepared a manuscript Zulu Legends (printed as late as 1952), in which he stated: <<The word 'aBa-ntu' (men, people) means 'Par excellence' individuals of the Kafir race, particularly in opposition to the noun 'aBe-lungu' (white men).

Loechle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii Acknowledgments I am indebted to many people for the help and encouragement they have given me during the long duration of this project. From academic and financial to editorial and emotional, I was never lacking in support. I am truly thankful, not to mention lucky. Sarah Burns, my advisor and mentor, supported my ideas, cheered my successes, and patiently edited and helped me to revise my failures. I also owe her thanks for encouraging me to pursue an unorthodox topic. From the moment pirates came up during one of our meetings in the spring of 2005, I was hooked. She knew it, and she continuously suggested ways to expand the idea first into an independent study, and then into this dissertation. My dissertation committee – Janet Kennedy, Patrick McNaughton, and Beverly Stoeltje – likewise deserves my thanks for their mentoring and enthusiasm. Other scholars have graciously shared with me their knowledge and input along the way. David M. Lubin read a version of my third chapter and gave me helpful advice, opening up to me new ways of thinking about Howard Pyle in particular.
