country's laws? Even pirates were vague; one country's pirate was another
country's freelance soldier. They could be hung in Spain and knighted in
England. Maybe we ought to make it international law that terrorists are
universally punishable by the laws
of whatever country they terrorize.
Extradited, and publicly tried and executed.
Maritime law is pretty specific about pirates and I think like laws on
terrorism would work also. You are probably thinking of Privateers, which
were
government sponsored pirates if one looks at it cynically. Even they were
treated as pirates in any country except the one sponsoring them.
Ahh, yes. You are correct; Privateers it was.
Are all nations currently in agreement about piracy?
