Vlasenko Y.V. The issues and vector of improvement to the international laws on the fi ght against hostage-taking at sea

Abstract: This article reviews the collaboration of nations on the fight against the hostage-taking situations in open waters, as well as separate cases in the issues of piracy at sea. The research involved the following methods: induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis, historical, interpretation of law, and legal comparative. The author proposes electing the standards of resolving jurisdictional collisions in cases where the hostage taking happens in international waters. The article offers substantiation for the urgency to create international standards of “practicability” of measures in liberating hostages, as well as the need to return to the principles of “protecting the life and wellbeing of hostages” and “capturing terrorists alive” during the hostage rescue operations.


Keywords:

Hijacking, hostage, piracy, terrorism, open waters, victim, pirate, ransom, armed robbery, global responsibility.
