KOWALSKI, Mateus. A Hybrid Court against Piracy in Somalia: Building jurisdictional capacity in a collapsed State. Relações Internacionais [online]. 2011, n.31, pp.117-133. ISSN 1645-9199.

Piracy in Somalia is a symptom of a wider problem ashore. Creating conditions for effective governance and promoting the rule of law are crucial for a sustainable solution. The establishment of a hybrid court incorporated in the jurisdictional Somali system would be an important contribution for the prosecution of suspected pirates and thus to the fight against piracy. Moreover, the court would also contribute to the effective governance in Somalia by promoting the rule of law and the existence of effective judicial institutions. This strategy could be relevant to other situations when a collapsed State serves as a hub to transnational organized crime.

Palabras clave : Collapsed State; piracy; Somalia; Hybrid Court.
