章节摘录
Text 1 The international effort to stop piracy off Somalia has not worked and the effort clearly needs tobe stepped up into a higher gear. The resp9nse so far has been twofold., first, to assemble naval forces to try to stop the pirateson the high seas: second, to encourage a political settlement within the fractured state of Somalia toenable law and order to be established. The naval forces are growing all the time. There is already a small flotilla of warships in theregion from the US, UK, Canada, France, Turkey, Germany, Russia and India, among others. There has been some success. The warships have established a safe shipping lane and escortfood aid ships into Somalia. The Royal Navy recently shot and killed two pirates and capturedothers. The French staged a daring capture of pirates who had taken over a yacht. The Indian navyhas thwarted two attempted hijacks, though the pirates in both cases got away. And the European Union is about to launch its first naval action. It has approved OperationAtalanta, in which about eight ships will add their weight to the international effort. The problem these days, however, is that the operation is hemmed in by rules and regulations. In 1815 the American Cmdr Stephen Decatur, sent to stop the Barbary pirates in theMediterranean, simply captured the flagship of the Algerian Dey and forced a capitulation. When theDey later repudiated the agreement, the British and Dutch bombarded Algiers. These days, there is no question of a bombardment of the port of Eyl, the main pirate base onthe Somali coast. That might be the most effective response but it would require a UN SecurityCouncil resolution. There is a resolution (1838, passed in October) which authorises the use of "necessary means",meaning force if need be, to stop piracy in international waters. There is also another resolution(1816) which allows anti-pirate operations within Somali waters, but only with the agreement of theSomali transitional government. But even all these operations have to be conducted within international law, defined in this caseas the provisions of the UN Law of the Sea Convention. There has also been a legal opinion by the Foreign Office in London that captured pirates cannotnecessarily be sent back to whatever authorities can be found in Somalia, in case they are subject toharsh treatment. That would contravene the British Human Rights Act. The pirates captured in theRoyal Navy action have now been handed over not to Somalia, but Kenya. The Lawof the Sea Convention places limitations on daring action. Under Article 110 of theconvention a warship has first to send an officer-led party to board a suspected pirate ship to verifyany suspicions. The warship cannot just open fire. Any inspection has to be carried out "with all possibleconsideration". That sounds rather tentative. Maritime writer Dr David Cordingly, author of "Life among the Pirates", says that,historically, firm measures were taken against pirates. "There would often be a show trial in London, Jamaica, Boston or Charleston," he said. "That was followed by a public hanging and the bodies would he left swinging on the gallows atthe entrance to harbours. Sailors would draw the conclusion that piracy was not a good careeroption. " "The authorities these days have a real problem because of international law. There aremeasures ship owners can take like having fire hoses to aim at the pirates, acoustic devices to hurttheir hearing or electric fences but, as in the days of the Caribbean pirates, everything is on thepirates~ side. " "Modern pirates use very similar methods to the old. They shadow and then board theirvictims. They usually outnumber the small crew on board the ship. " "The difference is in what they do next. They used to remove the valuables and maybe abandonor kill the ship's crew. The pirates of the Caribbean did not seek ransom though the Barbary piratesdid, as the Somali pirates do. " "But the old ways of dealing with them are no longer possible. " As for the diplomatic effort on land, that is going even more slowly. Somalia is basically splitinto three. The capital, Mogadishu, is nominally under the control of a transitional government set up afteran Ethiopian-led intervention that removed the Union of Islamic Courts. Since then, a breakaway Islamist group known as al-Shabab has gained control of much of thesouth and centre of the country. An African Union peacekeeping force has been ineffective. Therehave been some calls for a larger UN force. Large parts of population survive on food aid. The pirates, however, are based further north, in Puntland, a semi-autonomous region, wherethe port of Eyl is the main pirate base. There is a president but he has either no power or no interest in stopping a lucrative form ofincome. Between the lack of decisive naval operations and the chaos on land, the pirates have thrived.1. Which of the following area witnesses the weakest political power?
