    Abstract
    This paper elucidates the contemporary challenge from Somali piracy for international maritime security. It traces the history of piracy in modern period and why piracy has become a difficult issue in terms of international law of the sea as a result of some ambiguities in defining scope of high sea and pirates. In this paper, we argue that the practical difficulties arising from UNCLOS regarding activities in the high seas have created a loophole for the expansion of piracy. Nevertheless, this paper will provide insights on how piracy can be addressed through combined efforts of international law of the sea and maritime security mechanisms
