N2  - Terrorist attacks on persons or property on the high seas or in the newly designated "exclusive economic zones" bear analogy closer to the traditional international law of "piracy" than most observers suspect. In traditional practice "private ends" in the usual sense was not an essential element of the offense; the label and its legal results were attached to unrecognized belligerents too. The latest codifications of the international law relating to piracy, principally those deriving from the 1958 Geneva Convention on the High Seas, are patently defective. A new formulation is proposed, with a commentary that, among other things, points out how international criminal law and universal jurisdiction can be coordinated with the generally accepted international law of armed conflict to clarify what is currently a chaotic legal situation.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
