Abstract

The FS Dethridge Memorial Address for 1978 was delivered by G.S.M. Green, Chief Justice of Tasmania. It grapples with the varying definitions of 'piracy' from State to State and in international law, as in the 1958 Geneva Convention on the High Seas, and how piracy is policed on an international scale by States.
