"governments and navies are rendered legally powerless to conduct security operations on the high seas "

Why, what prevents them? I mean I can see where the U.S. wouldn't want to come to the aid of an Iranian vessel. Since they'd blame the whole thing on us or the Jews. It's better to just let the Muslims sort it out among themselves.

But if it was a friendly state, couldn't we blast the pirates? Give Will Turner some cargo?

I’m just wondering if anything has changed in the legal landscape. Or if this is a ruse to issue in more international regulation like maybe the Law of the Sea.
