“…In that case, the consideration of mens rea would help determine if the act was politically motivated or not (Kontorovich 2004). Thus, not considering animo furandi would result in disqualifying acts committed for political or ideological reasons to be considered as piracy (Sterio 2017).…”

“…The second element of the UNCLOS definition requires the act of piracy to be committed on the high seas; as the act of piracy is closely linked with the concept of universal jurisdiction (Sterio 2017;Kontorovich and Art 2010).

The international legal regime pertaining to maritime piracy has developed and grown over the years. These changes were prompted due to lacunas in the legal system, which surfaced when the codified laws were implemented. The problem of maritime piracy flares up every few years, especially with the modernization of boats and weapons. Dealing with maritime piracy involves coordinated and orchestrated efforts at different levels including, domestic, regional and international. Anti-maritime piracy operations have been very successful in controlling and reducing piratical activities, for example, attacks on merchant vessels off the Somalian coast have considerably reduced. Given the success of such anti-maritime piracy operations, it becomes imperative to underscore some legal issues that may stand out and flag the gaps in the international maritime piracy legal regime. Identifying such legal issues will help the future lawmakers in deciding if such issues need resolution, and does it require further development or amendment of the current maritime piracy legal regime.

Piracy is traditionally one of the oldest forms of violation of international law and a global threat to maritime traffic. It is a serious international offense against which criminal protection is ensured in the domestic legal system, relying on the postulates of international maritime law, and in particular the Convention on the Law of the Sea. In this paper, the authors deal with the legal analysis of the incrimination of piracy at the international and national levels. In relation to the Republic of Croatia, the authors present recent regulations regarding this international criminal offense in the domestic legal system. This paper aims to point out the fundamental problems caused by the existing regulations regarding this international crime, especially when it comes to jurisdiction over piracy, universal jurisdiction, taking over criminal prosecution, etc.
