Harvard Draft Convention on Piracy
[edit]The 1932 Convention of Piracy was provided as one of the 13 commentaries presented in the 1930 League of Nations Codification Conference on International Law. It held piracy as not a crime against the law of nations; giving faith to the jurisdiction of individual states to work together to repress piracy.[1]
Influences
[edit]The 1958 Geneva Convention on the High Seas had drawn on the research of the Harvard Draft.[2] The definition of piracy was adopted from the Geneva Convention unto the UNCLOS definition of Piracy verbatim.[3] To this day, the Harvard Draft serves the debate of what defines piracy.[4]
