Piracy: The Law of the High Seas. Dr Douglas Guilfoyle (UCL Laws)
Somali pirates have taken to hijacking and ransoming commercial shipping while dozens of warships patrol the Gulf of Aden to repress their activities. Why do navies not just blow piracy suspects out of the water? Why are suspect pirates sometimes released? Who can put pirates on trial and why are European States transferring pirates to Kenya or the Seychelles for prosecution? UCL’s Dr Douglas Guilfoyle has been involved in inter-governmental discussions about the law of counter-piracy and will explain these and other issues.
