Why doesn't "Admiralty Law" apply to Somali Pirates?
|
For the last 600 Years Admiralty Law has been accepted Maritime Law worldwide. Admiralty Law is very clear that Pirates caught in the act may be summarily tried by the officers of the ship which apprehended them and if found guilty, hanged. Now suddenly Admiralty Law is ignored!! WHY?

No such provision in current US Admiralty Law |

I don't know anything about Admiralty Law, but if a sea captain were to dispatch of some pirates in this way, I don't think he'd hold a press conference afterwards to publicise the event. I don't think the media would be told.
It's not 1700 any more & you can't hang someone from the yard arm without getting some negative press. |

hi
|
because americans know that they did something wrong and went into the territory of the pirates and started dumping waste into the ocean around their islands
the pirates are just trying to get back the ships
that is why the military does not just blow them up or inprison them |
