Governing the Oceans: The Challenge of
Modern Piracy
Modern pirates seize huge tankers, holding the
ships and their crews for tens of millions of dollars
in ransom. Businesses incur significant costs in
trying to avoid pirate attacks, and innocent sailors
lose lives to pirates. The upsurge in modern piracy
is but one of many challenges facing the oceans.
This lecture will introduce some of those challenges,
focusing especially on piracy, and will explore
the roles of international law and international
organizations in regulating activities in the vast
global common space we call the oceans.
John E. Noyes is the Roger J. Traynor Professor of
Law at California Western School of Law. He is
the author of more than 50 book chapters, lawreview
articles, and essays on the international
law of the sea, international dispute resolution,
and other topics. Professor Noyes is the immediate
past president of the American branch of the
International Law Association.
