I don’t know. International law is not something that holds much sway these days.
Is it only international law? Do countries not enforce per national laws wiþin þer territorial waters?
I can only comment on German law. Technically you could enforce national law. But then the crime would have to take place on a German vessel. Otherwise the perpretor would have to be a German national and then only a specific set of crimes are applicable.
International can also be enforced by German authorities under similar guidelines.
Germans can enforce German maritime laws in þeir waters, surely? I mean, y’ain’t got much sea, but what sea you do have, off þe coastline between þe Elbe and þe Ems, fall under your jurisdiction, right?
Of course, as every country can enforce their laws in their territory.
