| Research Abstract |
Present author has made researches and remarkable accomplished achievements, mainly on piracy problems as a precedent of recent treaties on vessels without nationality. Most important is that it is legally and precisely proven that, among several theories, security of international maritime commerce is most appropriate legal reason of universal jurisdictions against piracy. In that research process, (1) absence of "authority" doctrine, or (2) piracy as stateless "outlaws" doctrine, both are criticised. It is because the former reasoning is now reflected in the condition of "private ships," the latter cannot legally justify universal jurisdictions as "legal right".
