Summary/Abstract |
If piracy attacks are unreported, a misleading impression is given of piracy situations in regions where there could be serious consequences for ships traveling in waterways on the assumption that they are piracy-free waters. However, sometimes not reporting piracy attacks could help to contain piracy before it expands, because reporting can lead to the media over-focusing on piratical incidents, and armed guards being deployed on ships, which causes pirates to use heavier arms and escalates the level of conflict. Piracy that took place during 2003–2012 in the north and the center of the Arabian Gulf has never been reported to the International Maritime Bureau. The present article examines this case of unreporting, and discusses its causes and consequences.

Summary/Abstract |
Piracy has been a significant issue in the region of the Horn of Africa for some time. In 2000 the problem was bad enough for the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) to regard all areas within 320km of the Somali coast as no-go zones to be avoided at all times unless exceptional precautions were taken.

Summary/Abstract |
Maritime piracy is one of the oldest subjects of international law and recently it has reemerged as a serious threat to commerce and security. While states have become more engaged in punishing and preventing piracy, efforts as a whole have been poorly organized, ad hoc, mostly unilateral, slow to develop, and only minimally effective. This is true despite the existence of a regime complex that supposedly promotes effective cooperation on the issue. What explains the insufficient response to this rising economic and security threat? This article argues that the regime complex itself is a major part of the problem. It examines specifically four core elemental regimes that are identifiable by their key texts or organizations: the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Maritime Navigation, the International Maritime Organization, and the International Maritime Bureau. This analysis adopts a perspective that emphasizes how these different legal and organizational institutions shape actors' understandings of piracy, and thus their interests in it, in conflicting ways. Different elemental regimes push different actors toward different behaviors.

Summary/Abstract |
Regrettably, Africa's waters now represent one of the world's most dangerous waterways
for vessels and their crew members in terms of pirate attacks. In the last few years the
Somali coast and the Gulf of Aden in the Horn of Africa have emerged as Africa's - and
by extension the world's - most dangerous waters. This article examines the dimension
that maritime piracy has assumed in the region, identifies the factors contributing to
the upsurge of piracy in the area, and gives an overview of the responses to the growing
piracy in the region. It concludes with suggestions on how to effectively and sustainably
combat the scourge of piracy.

Summary/Abstract |
The recent decision of the Contact Group on Piracy off Somalia (CGPS) to roll back the ‘High Risk Area’ (HRA) from 1 December 2015 has brought cheer to Indian ship-owners and once again re-focused attention on piracy and the difficulties of combating it. Edward Teach, otherwise known as Blackbeard, Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh, Barbarossa, the Barbary pirates and others may have passed into history, but piracy remains a part of the world and has, since the end of the Cold War, re-emerged as one of the numerous non-traditional threats to security. How can it continue to thrive in the modern world, despite all the benefits of technology and international cooperation? How prepared is India to tackle piracy, both in its waters as well as in the region?
