A million a ship on avg, high sea piracy is back.
3 to 8 ships have paid in last 72hrs. Normally 320-600ships would have gone thru for free in that window.
The strait of hormus does not lie in international waters. What do you mean by "high sea piracy"?
It is considered international for transit passage.
This one? United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)?
As far as I found out neither the US, nor Iran ratified this.
If you want to argue with law you need to have a law which all states involved follow.
