Abstract

Piracy is the oldest crime with universal jurisdiction to prosecute its perpetrators. In recent years, with the many changes that have taken place in the manner and place of piracy, as well as the way countries approach the issue of jurisdiction and prosecution of international crime defendants, the continued establishment of universal jurisdiction over piracy has been questioned. Therefore, given the doubts that have arisen about the possibility of continuing the exercise of universal jurisdiction over piracy in the last decade, can this principle still be applied to piracy? This research tries to answer the above question by descriptive-analytical method and using library resources. Considering the critical developments that have taken place in various dimensions of pirate attacks, including the use of new weapons and also the relocation of attacks (from the high seas to inland seas and coasts), it can be said that piracy was the first crime in the international arena for that universal competence has been established, but this principle can no longer be applied and applied due to the changing atmosphere of the international community and the elimination of the main reasons that justified its implementation in the past, and alternatives must be sought for it.
