Abstract

Piracy is an international crime that poses a serious threat to the countries’ national security, international trade and maritime security. Although the offense has been the subject of numerous conventions and agreements, and many measures have been taken to combat it, but no practical measure has been predicted so far to trial the perpetrators. Several factors have role in the failure to achieve a definitive solution. These factors include human rights issues arising from the capture of pirates, political reluctance of states, issues of evidence, lack of adequate facilities and capacity for judgment and so on. Among the several solutions that have been proposed to eliminate these barriers, the theory of the formation of a special international tribunal for the crime is grandstanding, that in this article we'll review it.
