Defending Against Pirates
Defending Against Pirates: The International Law of Small Arms, Armed Guards and Privateers
- This book assists in contemplating, planning, executing or managing international voyages where the carriage of small arms or armed guards is an important component. It is useful in guiding masters, for interviewing and hiring and managing armed guards, and for armed guards contemplating being hired as well as their employing entities. Some NGO’s and governments might also find it useful. Identified are various risks of sureties, owners, masters, other exercitors, armed guards and interested parties.
- The book is written to supplement and to complement the book by John A. C. Cartner, Richard P. Fiske and Tara L. Leiter, The International Law of the Shipmaster (2009). Using the present book and The International Law of the Shipmaster together will give a greater depth and expanse of knowledge of the subjects discussed here than either alone. The book was written with the assumption that the prudent reader would peruse The International Law of the Shipmaster in conjunction with it. Cross references to The International Law of the Shipmaster are provided.
- At the end of Part II included are appendices of useful materials.
