Re: Canadian, U.S. ships chase down pirates (April 20). Cmdr. Chris Davies, of NATO's maritime headquarters in England, who reportedly "said the pirates cannot be prosecuted under Canadian law because they did not attack Canadian citizens or interests and the crime was not committed on Canadian territory," has either not read or not understood subsection 74(2) of our Criminal Code: "every one who commits piracy while in or out of Canada is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for life"; and the related section 470, which assigns the trial to any Canadian court within whose territorial jurisdiction the accused is in custody. All Canada needs to do to try a pirate is: (a) detain him; and (b) bring him to Canada.
