With all the news that pirates seem to be making in the news, as of late, there seems to be a lot of talk about how things are done and thought on how things might change to improve the situations. |

On the spot executions, reviewed after the fact by a UN board of inquiry.
Orderly, international prosecution, with a possible death penalty, to be presided over by UN.
Clearly define jurisdiction & empower the rights of the victim's & apprehending vessel's nation(s).
Use military forces in battling Piracy (patrols, raids, interdictions, blockades on source ports).
Leave everything as it is now, but open restrictions on the arming of commercial vessels.
Leave everything as it is now, it's perfect.
Aid countries responsible for spawning pirates via coalition sponsored economic/social initiatives.
Strengthen militaries of states responsible for spawning pirates w/ the purpose of cracking down.
Other or none of the above

I thought the answer was simple? |
Innocent victims of merciless crimes, fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs.
Step after step we try controlling our fate. When we finally start living, it's become too late.
Military convoy system for shipping. Any Somali pile of trash that attempts to approach the shipping lane gets torpedoed to the bottom. |
ditch most of the rules and regulations. allow navies to pursue and apprehend pirates anywhere they are encountered. any ship that is suspected of engaging in or attempting to engage in piracy is boarded and searched. any ship that attempts to run after being notified that it will be boarded gets fired on and sunk - period. |

Have a couple of heavily armed special forces (or ex special forces) guys on these ships that are targeted who can see off these pirates,or as already suggested,military convoys to protect the ships! |
It may be time to hire some Mercs to ride on these ships. |
CLICK >>>>>>>>>>>>> for CINEOBSCURE and CINEOBSCURE FORUMS!
I chose options three through five. Arm merchant ships, let the military blow away any pirate ships they find, and try and execute the survivors in national courts. |

you left out one important poll option: sending khardis after them. he'd clear out the pirates then pleasure all their women. |
