Stumbled into EagleSpeak, a blog that’s focusing on the pirate issue. We live in a great world where someone can dedicate their talent and time to a blog that focuses almost exclusively on maritime security! He’s got some great posts; interesting news and information on all angles of piracy.
Anyway, since piracy on the high seas is probably the best example of where international law applies to something real in our modern world, I’m making the effort to highlight the issue through interesting articles and posts that I find. This post about pirates and the law is a good summary of how international law is applied in the real world, and lays out what works and what doesn’t work. Clicking on the headline links to the Wall Street Journal editorial further discussing international law.
Read EagleSpeak’s post and I’ll give you credit for World 4a. Read the WSJ editorial and I’ll probably give you credit for another requirement. Read EagleSpeak’s blog for an hour and I may sign you off on the whole badge. If I’m in a good mood. The information you’ll gain is worth it.
