HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
In the light of far-reaching developments in the field of
international law and foreign relations, the law of piracy is
deemed to require a fundamental reconsideration and complete
restatement, perhaps resulting in drastic changes by way of
modification and expansion. Such a task may be regarded as beyond
the scope of this project. The present revision is, therefore,
confined to the making of some obvious and patent corrections. It
is recommended, however, that at some opportune time in the near
future, the subject of piracy be entirely reconsidered and the law
bearing on it modified and restated in accordance with the needs of
the times.
