An Expensive Farce: Germany's Somali Pirate Trial Is Pointless
When 10 Somali pirates were brought to trial earlier this year in Hamburg, many viewed it as promising a minor victory against lawlessness on the high seas. But the trial has turned into a pointless and expensive circus. The battle against piracy off the Horn of Africa won't be won in German courtrooms.

Quite. When the Russians retook MV Moscow University and cast the pirates adrift on the Indian Ocean in a lifeboat with no provisions, they, the pirates, begged to be taken back on board and sent for trial in Russia. I wish other countries would follow the Russians lead.
