There are so many definitions about piracy but international and customary treaty defines it as said by ademun odeke. (2011), Customary and international treaty laws define and classify piracy under four main categories. However, Somali piracy has risen numerous and hitherto unfamiliar issues. First, is the unique nature of the piracy; unlike anything known before and which has taken the international community by surprise. Second, are the unique underlying causes, outlined above? Thirdly, its detrimental consequences to international trade, maritime transport, maritime security and world peace? Finally, its bold challenges to established international law and existing world order calls for a review of the international position. Owing to the strategic location of its occurrence, Somali piracy has been catapulted to one of the major international crises of this decade, after the 2007 – 2009 global recession (the Credit Crunch) and international terrorism. Briefly, Somali piracy is not piracy in the ordinary sense of the word at all. It is a sophisticated internationally orchestrated business, employing equally organized international criminality. The shortcoming of those waging war against this mutant piracy is to employ methods designed against ordinary classical piracy of 300 – 400 years ago. Even this analysis is probably rather simplistic for such a complex problem. Although intended to provide a scenario of the piracy as understandable and mitigating reaction by some Somalis to events giving rise to the piracy, it might be misinterpreted as justifying the piracy. In the meantime something had to be done despite the continuing debate. Ademun Odeke. (2011). Piracies have been in existence for a very long time now causing negative impacts to maritime trade.
