Almost silently the Indian Navy has undertaken one of its largest deployments as 11 submarines and 35 warships are out in the sea....While 10 warships have been deployed in the northern Arabian Sea, Red Sea, and Gulf of Aden and eastern coast of Somalia for anti-piracy missions and responses to vessels hit by the missiles and drones, others are operating in the Bay of Bengal and southern Indian Ocean. Both the eastern fleet and western fleet are on deployment.

ideally they would be tried in Somalia as pirates. that is a different discussion
That is 'ideally'.

I believe - this is from memory - pirates can be tried and punished by the nation whose ships have captured them. The British executed them regularly in London.

...whose ships have captured them in international waters. This is why no navy can go in to Somali waters and recapture the Bangladeshi ship that was recently captured.

Good point.
 
The irony in all this European huffing and puffing about piracy in Somalia after Somali fishermen found their fishing grounds denuded of fish stocks due to the dumping of toxic waste in their territorial waters is the history of the previous five centuries.

In that time period, peaceful commerce in the Indian Ocean was devastated by the pirate attacks of the Portuguese, who attacked non-Portuguese shipping in a systematic, organised manner, and by pirates from various European nations. Avery, one of the most notorious, was an Englishman.

It was in the effort to suppress these thugs, considered to be the enemies of all, enemies of mankind, that the roots of international criminal law lay.

Until these unpleasant thugs came along, merchants could trade from Zanzibar to Malakka without facing violence. It is another matter that African chiefs used this vast commercial common market to ship their own subjects off to slavery.

No disagreement on the history

If Somalia was a semi-lawful society trying them in Mogadishu might send a message to would be pirates of tomorrow
