BS, man; I am not clueless about these matters. I am well familar with the provisions of the UNCLOS and the SUA convention. I have had the opportunity to both set up and vet security systems for some Intl. Shipping Companies that are transiting the Somalian Corridor.
Just as 87,626 people who have signed this petition do not know "$hit from molasses" about any of those matters.
BTW; neither Law is enforced nor Justice dispensed by Public Petitions, LOLLL !!!
Is that how the Law works in the UK?
There is no scope for vigilantes to operate outside the boundaries or the ambit of any International Laws; under any circumstances.
So the petition in the light of all the legal issues is simply a "scrap of paper".........
