C 15. Offences against the external Security of the State.

is commonly distinguished by the name Piracy.

When an Offence against Property originates in a
motive of rapacity and not in motives of resentment the
property of one person will answer the purpose as well
as another . If therefore the primary mischief of such an Offence
be confined to a single state, the secondary mischief,
however, extends itself to all states the members of which
are likely to come in the offender's way. An act of Piracy is
therefore commonly looked upon as an act of hostility against
mankind in general . The least therefore which is expected
from the State of which the Pirate is a member is that
it should acquiesce in his being punished : If it happens
to have any particular means in its hands of punishing
him , it may also be expected to take an active part in punishing
him : as likewise in punishing any accomplices
he may have ; and in taking any other expedients that
may occur for preventing the offence . This holds good more
particularly with regard to accomplices ; because their
residence will frequently be upon land within the dominions
of a particular state while which his excursions are
carried on upon that element which is common to mankind.
