The Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Maritime Navigation (SUA) or Sua Act is a multilateral treaty by which states agree to prohibit and punish behaviour which may threaten the safety of maritime navigation. ==Content== The Convention is based upon the 1971 Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against the Safety of Civil Aviation and the Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Seizure of Aircraft and criminalises similar behaviour in the context of maritime navigation. The Convention criminalises the following behaviour: #Seizing control of a ship by force or threat of force; #committing an act of violence against a person on ship if it is likely to endanger the safety of the ship; #destroying or damaging a ship or its cargo in such a way that endangers the safe navigation of the ship; #placing or causing to be placed on a ship a device or substance which is likely to destroy or cause damage to the ship or its cargo; #destroying or damaging a ship's navigation facilities or interfering with their operation if it is likely to endanger the safety of the ship; #communicating information which is known to be false, thereby endangering the safety of the navigation of a ship; #injuring or killing anyone while committing 1–6; #attempting any of 1–7; #being an accomplice to any of 1–8; and #compelling another through threats to commit any of 1–9. The Convention sets out the principle of ''aut dedere aut judicare''—that a state party to the treaty must either (1) prosecute a person who commits one of the offences or (2) send the individual to another state that requests his or her extradition for prosecution of the same crime. The Convention does not apply to: #A warship; or #a ship owned or operated by a State when being used as a naval auxiliary or for customs or police purposes; or #a ship which has been withdrawn from navigation or laid up. Nothing in the convention affects the immunities of warships and other government ships operated for non-commercial purposes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Convention for the Suppression of Unlawful Acts against the Safety of Maritime Navigation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
