Todorov A.A. Comparative Legal Description of Piracy under Modern Russian and Foreign Legislation

Abstract: The article contains analysis of the crime of piracy under criminal laws of foreign countries as well as its comparison to the Russian Criminal Code norm, defining piracy. The author provides a comparison of the objective and subjective elements of the corpus delicti of piracy, set forth in international agreements, related legal acts of foreign states and in the Criminal Code of Russia. The issue of locus delicti is studied individually. On the basis of the comparison results the author gives an assessment of the Russian piracy–law and draw a conclusion that piracy becomes an issue of national interest more and more rather than of the field of the international law and that the current version of Art.227 of the Russian Criminal Code is “viable” as compared to the relevant anti–piracy norms of foreign legislations.

Keywords:

piracy, Art.227 of the Russian Criminal Code, high seas, territorial sea, legislation of foreign countries
