Piracy and maritime terrorism, new threats in the international arena

Pirates, once trapped in the realms of storytelling, movies, and cartoons, have for years gone so far as to invade parts of the world; Annually, there are numerous reports of pirate raids and attacks on ships in international waters. The international community has felt threatened by the increase in this crime in the open waters of the world. Maritime terrorism is also the second type of non-state actors that pose a threat to shipping. Maritime terrorism is as difficult to define as piracy, because terrorism is not an ideology, but a kind of insurgent strategy that can be used by people with very different political beliefs.
