Abstract

During many centuries, the issue of piracy has been discussed in many ways. Entering the age of globalization and the presence of huge sea fleets, we have continued to witness the role of pirates as disruptors of international order. Regarding dealing with this issue during the 20th century, several laws in the form of international conventions have been approved by countries and international organizations. Since the mentioned issue is closely related to several issues such as marine cargo insurance and the actions of pirates, especially in the case of Somalia and the shores of the Gulf of Aden, are tied to human security, the need to pay more attention to international communities. This is felt.In the upcoming research, an effort will be made to pay special attention to the latest developments in the mentioned subject by examining the various dimensions of the mentioned subject.
