Piracy and Maritime Terrorism; Serious Perils to Sea Security

Abstract

    In today's global environment, security concerns are posturing grave and animated challenges towards domestic as well as global stability. Two particular issues, piracy and maritime terrorism, are one of the modern challenges having worldwide bearing on maritime trade and security. The huge and mostly uncontrolled maritime zone permits pirates and terrorists to achieve their ulterior motives. To device effective countermeasures against them, it must be defined whether or not a nexus is forming between pirates and terrorists as the matching physiognomies make it perplexing to divergent them away from each other. The research paper examines the manifestation of piracy and maritime terrorism, the existing national/ international legal framework on the matter and practices adopted worldwide to address the issue. By appraising the legal instruments, copious useful recommendations are presented to enhance their effectiveness in fighting piracy and maritime terrorism from intimidating the safety of the seafaring trade and security.
