Pirates have always been known as "the enemy of all mankind" and are also one of the long-standing criminal acts. In view of the fact that the criminal sites of piracy are different between the "high seas" and the "territorial seas", they are divided into "piracy in international law" and "pirates in domestic law". Accordingly, the issue of the exercise of national jurisdiction in "outside the territory" or "in the territory" is formed. Moreover, the victims of piracy, according to the difference between "nationals" (including ships) and "foreigners" (including ships), derive the applicability of legal validity of "domestic offenders" and "foreign offenses". Simultaneously, piracy has also involved the legal principles of "freedom of navigation on the high seas" and "principle of the exclusive of the flag state", presenting a very intricate phenomenon. This article is aimed at a study on the significance of modern legislation of anti-piracy law system in Japan. The content includes the pre-war (before 1945) and post-war so far, the history of legal evolution, development and even change for more than 120 years. In particular, the modern Japanese anti-piracy law is a special legal norm that combines "piracy punishment" and "anti-piracy", which has the legislative characteristics of "Special Criminal Law" and "Administrative Action Law". In addition, the modern legislative significance of the law about regulating how the military organization (the Maritime Self-Defense Force) and the police organization (Japan Coast Guard, JCG) should combine the "defensive role" and the "police role" while maintaining maritime security. |
