Karim: Maritime Terrorism and the Role of Judicial Institutions in the International Legal Order

Md Saiful Karim (Queensland Univ. of Technology) has published Maritime Terrorism and the Role of Judicial Institutions in the International Legal Order (Brill | Nijhoff 2016). Here's the abstract:
In Maritime Terrorism and the Role of Judicial Institutions in the International Legal Order, Md Saiful Karim offers a critical analysis of the role of judicial institutions in combating maritime terrorism. This book comprehensively examines the existing international legal framework for combating maritime terrorism and argues for a an updated framework to tackle modern threats. In particular, Karim highlights the important task of national courts in the prosecution of suspected maritime terrorists as well as the settlement of disputes arising from maritime terrorism. It fills in important gaps in the existing literature and proposes a path for the influence of international juridical institutions.
