Mother-ship of Somalian pirates sunk by Indian Navy, 15 held

[Capt.Popeye]

Why were the pirates captured ??

Under what law they are going to be tried or who is going to try them ?

Better to have left them along with the boat.

This the difficult part. The international community has made no mechanism to try such offenders, has made no effort to jointly prevent, leave alone eradicate such a menace.

But that said, India has a "locus standi" under UNCLOS (United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea) to try the apprehended pirates. India has done so earlier in the instance of the M.V. Alondra Rainbow in October 1999. That was the first time that a hijacked ship (of Japanese ownership) was intercepted by the IN and ICG and successfully recovered. The hijackers (pirates by definition) were tried in India.

UNCLOS has made an attempt to address the legal issues thrown up by crimes on the High Seas, but is still not complete and most of all has not created any clear-cut mechanism for enforcement.

Of course there was the extra-legal option available, leave them in the water to their own devices. And there are plenty of sharks there too to mete out summary justice. But that is another matter.

Oh god, there's a reason the other navies don't engage the pirates; It'd going to result in them becoming more violent towards hostages.

This would be the best option I guess.

Why we need to harass the pirates even further by putting them in Indian prisons ?

Ya, so a person who bashes india on all threads has to publish one news item about india for you to issue them an indian passport

Logic has consistently been your strong point, but you have outdone yourself this time.
