What to do with a captured pirate
2009-03-12
Piracy is what is known as a universal crime. That means that because the pirates commit their crimes on the high seas, beyond any one country's jurisdiction, they are treated as a threat to every country.

In turn, each country may arrest pirates at sea and prosecute them at home.

At least that is how it is supposed to work.
Install yardarms on the ships of all navies. Use them in the traditional manner.
