Crimes at sea come in different shapes and colors. Sometimes, some of these will be construed as political events. Take the licensing of Chinese vessels in Senegal some 3 years ago, which was denounced by Greenpeace West Africa. The licensing defied the rules and was construed as illegal the same way in 2012, the licencing of Russian ships was construed as illegal. Piracy is an easy one. It is illegal. The Houthis highjacking ships was subject to debate. Now, this. As an expert, there is no debate. This is a crime. Shooting at fishermen fishing within THEIR OWN waters by a “foreign” occupying army IS illegal and should be sanctioned. No matter where we stand, this is a crime.
