Piracy - piracy


[Piracy under international law]
Under international customary law, a pirate is a person who, not as a state agent but for private purposes, commits violent acts on the high seas that threaten the safety of traffic of other ships. The 1958 Convention on the High Seas stipulates that any unlawful act of violence, detention, or plunder committed by the crew or passengers of a private ship or aircraft for private purposes against other ships or aircraft, or against persons or property on board, on the high seas or in any place not subject to the jurisdiction of any state, is an act of piracy (Article 15). Therefore, similar acts by public vessels, warships, and government aircraft are not considered piracy, and as internationally wrongful acts, they give rise to the international responsibility of the state in question.
