| Summary/Abstract |
THE PAST FEW YEARS have seen what, to all intents and purposes, is the revival of sea piracy. Hundreds of incidents in the Gulf of Aden, the Gulf of Guinea, and elsewhere on the high seas, involving attacks on ships from dozens of countries, have again made piracy one of the main threats to international security. That this is a fact is obvious from intensive anti-piracy measures by individual states and by the entire world community. Since 2008, the United Nations Security Council has passed over a dozen resolutions on just one aspect of this problem, piracy off Somalia, which has reached unprecedented proportions.
