International crimes involving ships are indeed addressed by various maritime laws, including international conventions such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and treaties that specifically address piracy and other maritime crimes. While airplanes are indeed regulated by international aviation law, maritime law is well-established and encompasses a range of criminal activities at sea.
Women pirates, both historically and in contemporary settings, highlight issues of gender in piracy, showing that piracy is not limited by gender, though women pirates have often been marginalized in historical narratives.
The differences between maritime law and regular (criminal) law contribute to challenges in addressing piracy. Maritime jurisdiction can be complex, as laws vary between countries and can create loopholes that pirates may exploit.
Flags play a significant role in maritime law, as they determine the national jurisdiction under which a ship operates. The flag state has the authority to enforce laws on that vessel, making flag registration crucial in cases of piracy and other maritime crimes.
