Abstract

Has the ‘Jolly Roger’ experienced resurgence? Are certain maritime regions of the world, whom every State is entitled to prosecute and punish.’ As such, it has been asserted that jurisdiction over piracy jure gentium is an example of the universality principle whereby it is permissible, as a matter of customary international law, for all States to arrest and bring a pirate to trial. While acknowledging the existence of differing opinions regarding the jurisdictional status of piracy jure gentium, it is considered tha by South East Asia, experiencing a heightened threat from ‘pirate’ activity? Perusal of contemporary maritime publications and sources may lead to the conclusion that piracy has experienced something of a renaissance in the past decade, and South East Asia has been touted as the focal point of many alleged pirate operations.
