Solution to the piracy. Limit the fishing to within 100 miles of the
shore. If a Somali boat is outside the 100 miles, they sink and die.
When the Somali's decide that piracy is not worth the problems, then
they can fish further out. If the pirates capture a boat inside the 100
miles, is the boats problem. They kill hostages while in Somalia, then
figure how who had gotten rich in the last 5 years and kill them.



Under International Law, I doubt you can do that. How are you going to
legally restrict access to the high seas?

Under the rule of the others got bigger guns and boats.



Those are the rules of the stupid.

We're not at war with Somalia, and we have no legal standing in
international law to interdict all Somali boats outside of a 100-mile
imaginary boundary.


A man-of-war can stop, board and inspect the cargo of each and every
non-military ship on the high seas.
