metadata.value: The article examines the phenomenon of piracy crimes based on the study of the international
  legal framework. The goal set by the authors is to identify possible ways and mechanisms by
  which States will be able to carry out effective international cooperation to bring pirates to
  justice and reduce the number of pirate attacks. The authors note that the beginning of the
  development of the efforts of the international community in the field of combating piracy
  falls in the middle of the 19th century. Further attempts to create a treaty at the beginning
  of the 20th century did not lead to success, but laid the foundation for the adoption of the
  1958 Convention on the High Seas and the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea,
  which contain the universally recognized concept of piracy. The authors analyze the
  main elements of the crime of piracy (an illegal act of violence or detention, or any act of
  depredation; private ends; the “rule of two ships”; outside the jurisdiction of any State) and
  consider controversial issues of interpretation of these elements. Attention is drawn to the
  fact that existing sources aimed at countering piracy crimes include the obligation of States
  to cooperate. Since they do not contain specific forms of international cooperation, but are
  only limited to a general obligation to provide assistance to the maximum extent possible, the
  authors consider it appropriate to interpret the obligation of cooperation broadly to include
  such forms as extradition and mutual legal assistance in the prosecution of piracy crimes. The
  authors investigate the activities of international and regional organizations in the field of
  combating piracy and their proposed methods and mechanisms aimed at reducing crime on
  the high seas. The initiatives proposed by the Russian Federation to combat piracy are being
  considered.
