The article analyzes international legal mechanisms aimed at countering piracy and the role of the Russian Federation in this process. As a result of the research, conclusions and recommendations for optimizing these mechanisms are formulated. The article deals with current problems contained in the legislative structure of norms that provide for criminal liability for piracy. Purpose of the article: This paper aims to study the problem of Maritime piracy. Develop recommendations to combat this category of crime. The authors aim to demonstrate and specify the existing gaps in Russian and international legislation. Methodology and methods: the article uses a comparative legal method of research, as well as a method of interpretation of legal norms, which allow us to better analyze the problem under consideration and determine the main directions of their solution. Conclusions: the problem of piracy is a global problem that requires coordinated efforts of the international community.
