| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the current international response to piracy and armed robbery off the Horn of Africa (HoA). It first describes the measures that are presently in place before going on to assess the relevance of these responses, both in terms of serving as a viable deterrent and in the context of addressing the root causes driving armed maritime crime in this part of the world. The article concludes by offering some tentative recommendations on how best to improve the regime of antipiracy in the HoA, focusing on capacity-building, the development of sub-regional maritime security arrangements, incentives to better engage the shipping industry in mitigation efforts and micro socioeconomic development projects in coastal regions of Somalia that support piracy.

| Summary/Abstract |
Somalia and Southeast Asia have, at different times, been considered "hotspots" for piracy and armed robbery against ships. Some scholars have argued that comparisons between the two regions are pointless due to the different geopolitical factors that affect the respective regions and vastly different tactics used by Somali pirates and Southeast Asian pirates. Further, the differences in geopolitical considerations and tactics have meant that the legal measures used to respond to attacks in these regions have also greatly differed. The purpose of this article is to critically examine and evaluate the legal measures taken to facilitate the arrest, prosecution and punishment of pirates in Somalia and Southeast Asia. It concludes that while the legal measures employed by the relevant stakeholders differ in each region, valuable lessons can be learned on how States, regional organizations and international organizations can strengthen legal frameworks for the effective arrest and prosecution of perpetrators of piracy and armed robbery.

| Summary/Abstract |
There has been a failure by the international community to establish an effective system of prosecution for the trial of captured Somali pirates. This failure is in part due to the inability of the United States and by developed countries in Europe to carry out their responsibility as prescribed under international laws dealing with the prosecution of captured pirates. Owing to domestic political pressures, it has become politically expedient to outsource the trial of captured Somali pirates to Kenya and other developing countries in the East African region. By the end of 2009, Kenya had signed six memoranda of understanding with Canada, China, Demark, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union. Kenya has become the single largest destination for the trial of captured Somali pirates whose victims are not Kenyans; the attacked vessels do not fly the Kenyan flag, the attacked ships are not managed by Kenyans and the crimes did not occur in Kenya's territorial waters. Outsourcing as constructed, conceived and implemented at present is morally and legally wrong. It has left a weak and poor country to shoulder the responsibility of the international community. This paper examines the reasons for outsourcing and its implications for Kenya.
