Maritime piracy, according to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of 1982, consists of any criminal acts of violence, detention, or depredation committed for private ends by the crew or the passengers of a private ship or aircraft that is directed on the high seas against another ship, aircraft, or against persons or property on board a ship or aircraft.

Recently, piracy has increased dramatically across the Gulf of Eden. Piracy, a societal development, has become a threat to the safety of vessels and its personnel.
