The author has attempted a comprehensive analysis of offences aimed at penalizing criminal behaviour that are closely linked to the phenomenon of maritime piracy. The analysis is preceded by general remarks and the introduction of incentives to present solutions coming from the international conventions ratified by Poland to the Polish Penal Code. Practice shows that the most common type of pirate attack is an attempt to board a ship and the successful takeover of a ship. After getting on board the perpetrators try to rob the ship of those things which are of any value. Pirate attacks are inevitably associated with the acquisition of control over that same ship. Marine robbers are primarily armed with knives, machetes and firearms. Therefore, the author has conducted a detailed review of the provisions typified in Art. 166, Art. 167 and Art. 170 of the Penal Code — the flagship offences from the range of maritime pirate crimes. Crime involving the takeover of a ship is analysed first, and then the author focuses on the offence of placing dangerous devices or substances on a ship. Finally, is considered a sui generis crime known as preparatory acts to maritime mugging. These crimes are committed within the criminal jurisdiction of the Polish state very rarely because the Polish criminal law has a specific range of activities. The negligible amount of crime is also because the wording of those provisions is not entirely clear. The author concludes that the phenomenon of maritime piracy, even though it is a relatively broad concept, is fully reflected in the Polish legislation discussed in this paper. It should be recognized that the crimes discussed are inherently embedded in the definition of the standard of maritime piracy crimes so giving justice effective opportunities to penalize this dynamic criminological phenomenon.

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.

The article analyzes the provisions of the EU security strategy, with particular regard to the identified threats and proposed actions to reduce their negative impact. An attempt was also made to analyze the maritime safety strategy. The exploration allows us to conclude that the documents are much more complementary than the previous ones, which gives hope for an effective security policy.

The piracy possesses very long history and for some time has been recognized as a crime of the past. The renewed of its occurrence threatened to the international commerce and maritime safety. Illegal activities at sea can be divided in two groups: piratical activities and armed robbery at sea and acts of terrorism. International law has not one unified definition of the piracy. General frames helpful in defining are established in the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea which however by instituting conditions „for private ends” and „on the high seas”, restricts its use. Illegal acts of violence with relation to the ship, outside the high sea are defined by the International Maritime Organization, as armed robbery at sea to which the universal jurisdiction, is not in force. The key element that allows differentiating the piracy and the terrorism at sea is the motive. Pirates make it for the profit, and sea-terrorists are to gain, so called, the effect of the theatre. It should be noted that states directly subject by piratical attacks are rather reluctant to accusing and the sentencing of pirates in national courts in consideration of the complicated legal character of such matters and the necessity of assuring of the suitable standards of human rights. The question stays whether the international law gives sufficient grounds for accusing, sentencing and punishing of captive pirates. Despite of the undertaken activities, pirates often go free because of the lack of legal bases or the political will for sentencing. The present elaboration tries to systematize the definition of the widely understood piracy and describes mainstreams of activities undertaken by the international community, targeting the fight with this problem

Piractwo morskie stanowi poważne zagrożenie dla wolności żeglugi morskiej i generuje dla armatorów oraz poszczególnych państw koszty dodatkowe związane z koniecznością wypłacania okupów za porwane załogi oraz statki. Celem opracowania jest przedstawienie skali zjawiska w oparciu o dane statystyczne, obejmujące okres ostatniego dwudziestolecia, a także wskazanie przyczyn jego występowania oraz przedstawienie działań, które mają zredukować liczbę ataków pirackich na statki. Aktywność piratów morskich obejmuje przede wszystkim rejon Zatoki Gwinejskiej, Cieśniny Malakka, mórz otaczających Indonezję oraz zachodnie wybrzeża Ameryki Łacińskiej. W okresie ostatnich 20 lat odnotowano ponad 6 tys. przypadków ataków na statki handlowe, co świadczy o dużej skali zjawiska. Problem piractwa morskiego został dostrzeżony przez ONZ oraz Unię Europejską, co skutkowało rozpoczęciem w 2008 roku operacji antypirackiej ATALANTA. Całkowite wyeliminowanie współczesnego piractwa morskiego nie jest możliwe, ale regularnie prowadzone akcje militarne mogą doprowadzić do zmniejszenia się skali tego zjawiska.

Maritime piracy poses a serious threat to the freedom of shipping, and generates additional costs for shipowners and individual states, related to the need to pay ransoms for kidnapped crews and ships. The aim of the study is to present the scale of the phenomenon on the basis of statistical data covering the last 20 years, to indicate the reasons for its occurrence, and to present measures aimed at reducing the number of pirate attacks on ships. Pirate activity is concentrated in the Gulf of Guinea, the Straits of Malacca, the seas surrounding Indonesia and the western coast of Latin America. Over the past 20 years, more than 6,000 incidents of attacks on merchant ships have been recorded, which indicates a large scale of the phenomenon. The problem of maritime piracy was noticed by the UN and the European Union, which resulted in launching the anti-piracy operation ATALANTA in 2008. It is not possible to completely eliminate contemporary maritime piracy, but regular military actions may lead to a decrease in a scale of the problem.

In the article a strategic approach to the problem of maritime piracy and its implications in the context of maritime transport security is presented and evaluated. The article shows the problem of piracy in the most important regions of its presence, the intensity of the problem in the 90s of the 20th century and its contemporary aspect. Activities of the international community in the context of maritime piracy and help for fragile States for example, Somalia are presented and evaluated. The article ends with conclusions and probable development of the piracy in the following years, in which the author predicts that the deployed action, so far contributed to the reduction in the number of attacks, but to a small extent contributed to the improvement of the economic situation of the Somali population. The growing number of attacks in 2015 and 2016, suggests that the years to come may bring a further wave of piracy renaissance. If the aid is not increased and used with better precision, maritime piracy will remain a real threat to maritime transport.

W artykule zaprezentowano i oceniono strategiczne podejście do problemu piractwa morskiego i jego implikacji w kontekście bezpieczeństwa transportu morskiego. Ukazano problem piractwa w najważniejszych regionach jego występowania, intensywność występowania tego problemu w latach 90. XX wieku oraz jego współczesny aspekt. Zaprezentowano i oceniono działania społeczności międzynarodowej w kontekście zwalczania piractwa morskiego oraz pomocy dla państw dysfunkcyjnych na przykładzie Somalii. Artykuł kończy się wnioskami i prawdopodobnym rozwojem omawianego procederu w kolejnych latach, w których Autorka prognozuje, że wdrożone, jak do tej pory działania przyczyniły się do ograniczenia liczby ataków, ale w niewielkim stopniu przyczyniły się do poprawy sytuacji ekonomicznej ludności somalijskiej. W związku z zanotowaniem rosnącej liczby ataków w latach 2015 i 2016, kolejne lata mogą przynieść dalszą falę renesansu piractwa. Jeżeli udzielana pomoc nie zostanie zintensyfikowana i precyzyjniej wykorzystana, to piractwo morskie pozostanie realnym zagrożeniem dla transportu morskiego.
