I am reminded of a classic lawyer joke that ended in “...a good start.”

A good start for the Brits. Now let's let others have a go at things and rather than landing the pirate for civil court trials, put them in the brig of a ship of the line of a nation that still allows the death penalty and have a maritime law court try and execute them for piracy on the high seas.

Here's one place where the Chinese would be useful. The last pirates they caught were tried, convicted and executed within three days.
