Celem artykułu jest analiza ról odgrywanych przez tzw. aktorów niepaństwowych we współczesnych konfliktach zbrojnych. Analizie poddano działania dwóch klas podmiotów, tj. grup terrorystycznych oraz organizacji pozarządowych (NGO), w celu zweryfikowania utrzymującego się w potocznym odbiorze zniekształconego, nadmiernie uproszczonego ich obrazu. Zaprezentowane badania wykazały, wbrew panującym powszechnie opiniom, że żadnej z tych klas nie można przypisać jednoznacznie „dobrych” lub „złych” ról. Grupy terrorystyczne i organizacje pozarządowe mogą odgrywać bardzo zróżnicowane role w trakcie i po zakończeniu konfliktu zbrojnego, a ich działania bywają postrzegane i oceniane w odmienny sposób przez różne strony konfliktu.

The article aims at analyzing the roles played by the so-called non-state actors (NSAs) in modern armed conflicts. The analysis covered the activities of two classes of entities, i.e. terrorist groups and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), in order to verify the distorted, overly simplified picture of these entities that prevails in colloquial perception. The study suggests that, contrary to popular assumptions, one cannot assign exclusively „good” or „bad” labels to either of these classes. Terrorist groups and NGOs can play a variety of roles during and after armed conflict, and what is more, their actions may be perceived and evaluated differently by different parties to a conflict.

The primary aim of this paper is to analyse the legal definition of piracy stipulated in Article 101 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. As the title of the paper itself suggests, the phenomenon of maritime piracy is examined only from the perspective of international law of the sea, which means that state municipal laws remain beyond the scope of the analysis. The authors attempt to interpret and critically assess relevant legal provisions, rather than recount in detail facts related to cases of maritime piracy or present statistics describing the scale of this phenomenon. The article is divided into six relatively short sections. Key considerations are contained within sections 3–5, which cover the relevant provisions of the Montego Bay Convention. These sections deal, respectively, with the definition of piracy, the “private ends” requirement, and the “two-vessel” requirement. The remainder of the article is divided into introduction, historical background and conclusions.
