The Danish Navy (yeah, don't laugh, Maersk-SeaLand is the world's largest shipping company, and it's Danish) has ships patrolling the area and has avenged piracy numerous times and captured numerous pirates.
Regrettably when capturing the bastards, the problem has been: Hmmm, we serve the the navy of a civilised country that doesn't bend it's own laws or international treaties, what now ? And guess what, they've have had to let them go ! International law is simply inadequate for this !
There's always the plank.
They could have ben declared illegal pirates, flown somewhere, had dogs bite them, kept forever.
I do realise the ambivalience of my post: When are people bastards and can be shot / drowned / tortured / killed ? Guess we need to define what international democracy is ?
