7/23 This is where the actions discussed in the thread linked become particularly serious. A privately operated vessel apparently approached the casualty/rescue operation and a person was filmed attempting to slash or puncture the inflatable craft. So. What legal regime deals with that?

8/23 Firstly this is not naval warfare. There is no reason to start reaching for the San Remo Manual, naval targeting law or the law of armed conflict. Those frameworks regulate armed conflict. This is a civilian maritime incident.

9/23 Second I would be very cautious about calling it “piracy”. Piracy has a specific legal meaning under UNCLOS Article 101. Among other requirements, it concerns acts committed on the high seas or somewhere outside the jurisdiction of any state.
