PEMBAJAKAN DI PERAIRAN SOMALIA: DAMPAK GLOBAL, HUKUM INTERNASIONAL, DAN STRATEGI PENANGGULANGAN

Abstract

Piracy in Somali waters has become a serious threat to international maritime security since the early 2000s. This article reviews the background of the piracy phenomenon in Somalia, the analysis of related international law, and the efforts to overcome it that have been made by the international community. This study uses a juridical-normative approach, which is the main method in the study of legal science. This approach is based on the study of applicable positive legal norms, both in the form of international agreements, conventions, and resolutions of international organizations. In this context, relevant international law is analyzed to understand how the legal framework regulates and responds to the problem of piracy in Somali waters. With a juridical-normative approach, this study highlights the effectiveness of international maritime law in overcoming piracy, as well as the challenges faced in its implementation. Piracy in Somali waters is a multidimensional threat that not only impacts the world of shipping and the global economy, but also highlights the weaknesses of the international security system and the inability of a country to maintain the sovereignty of its maritime territory.
