In this episode of the Perspective Prog. Based on ‘The Anti-Maritime Piracy Bill 2022′. Parliament on Wednesday passed the Maritime Anti-Piracy Bill 2022, with the Rajya Sabha passing it by voice vote. The Lok Sabha cleared the bill on Monday. The bill provides for prevention of maritime piracy and stringent punishment to those convicted of such crimes. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, while moving the bill for consideration and passage in the Upper House, said it will strengthen India’s maritime security and give it an effective legal instrument to combat the menace of piracy. Besides, it will also enable the country to fulfil its international obligations under the United Nations’ Convention on the Law of the Sea. Although the Bill was supported by members cutting across party lines, some concerns over certain provisions in the Bill were raised. What these concerns are? What recommendations did the Standing Committee make and what are the salient features of the Bill?
