Amistad Posted May 20, 2010 He should be tried and judged by a jury of his peers, in Somalia, if he is not to young. I dont know if they put children on trail in Somalia, but jurisprudence dictates that he is a Somali problem, then the people of Somalia should be allowed to deal with him.

Cara. Posted May 20, 2010 There are old maritime laws that deal with pirates, any nation can basically arrest and convict pirates of any nationality. Pirates are considered universal criminals! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amistad Posted May 20, 2010 The US has Marque of Reprisal laws still on the books. However it takes an act of congress to get them re-instated, all of which attempts so far by people like Ron Paul from Tejas, have been unsuccessful. A little too archaic for most peoples taste...walking the plank and all that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
