DukeNukeEm Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 http://en.rian.ru/russia/20100506/158906539.html I looked and looked but the search feature doesn't work and I couldn't find the original Somali pirate thread. The source added that after the pirates had been disarmed and their navigation equipment removed, they were "put into an inflatable boat" and pushed off into the sea. LOL, gotta love Russia.

Texsox Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Pretty cool, but blasting 'em away from the back of a naval ship while the leader was "negotiating" was pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 That's pretty good. Also read earlier that the crew was able to secure themselves in a safe room so they were safe from the pirates when they came aboard. That probably made the rescue easier.

chw42 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Russia may be able to stop real pirates, but virtual pirates still run rampant in those parts, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNukeEm Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Well hopefully they at least read them their rights before they put them on the boat. They dont have any rights, really. Piracy is in a deadzone between war, crime and terrorism; does the Geneva Convention apply to Piracy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeNukeEm Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Human rights are over rated anyways. Which internationally recognized human rights are specifically being violated? The only one I can think of off the top of my head would be the 2nd Geneva Convention, and you would have to make a hell of a case to make me really believe this falls under that provision.

Prosecuting piracy is pretty straightforward, the laws are like 150 years old and haven't changed much if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats exactly the problem, these laws are 150 years old, and they have no place to try them (bear in the mind the USA and China, among others, haven't signed the Rome Statute).
