西印度洋及亞丁灣海域之海盜暨武裝劫掠船隻行為是近年來海事保安之重大議題，其成因起源於索馬利亞共和國自1991年後中央政府瓦解，國內進入無政府狀態，在政府失能、連年戰亂、人民生活困苦、遭遇乾旱、外海非法漁捕活動頻繁及地利之便等原因所致，本研究之重點以瞭解索馬利亞海盜之成因並分析國際間因應海盜問題之作為是否適切為主，並兼論我國應有之作為。
觀察索國海盜之成因，重點在於索國成為失敗國家後，國家的行為能力喪失，造成索國無法行使其在國際法上的權利及義務，聯合國等國際組織為了維護區域安全情勢及照顧索國人民之人權而干涉索國，企圖治理索國以維持國家之基本功能。因此制止海盜之作為可分為兩個面向：第一個是幫助索國的人道援助、加強索國自身之能力及促進其國內派系之和解；第二點則是以法律為依據之打擊海盜措施，《聯合國海洋法公約》對海盜之行為有所定義，國際應該以此定義為海盜罪之標準，輔以聯合國安全理事會之決議等法律文件；最後筆者將透過海軍政策之學理解說各國派遣海軍之背後因素，並分析各國參與打擊海盜之海上武力資料。本研究歸納出國際的人道救援仍然有限，無法幫助索國廣大區域上之所有人民(尤其是海盜猖獗區域)；和平倡議無法解決索國分裂之事實；各國對海盜罪之規範必須更新至可滿足起訴索國海盜；各國應該擴大海上軍事行動之合作，並以新的戰術及佈署較輕量型之戰艦來打擊海盜；而我國面對此議題不可保持沉默，在能力及經費之許可下應該有所作為，並藉此事件參與國際合作。
國際社會在面臨索國海盜帶來挑戰的同時，必須體會到索國海盜並非一朝一夕就能制止的。打擊海盜應該透過更多的努力並雙管齊下，從海盜之根源著手(治本)並改善打擊海盜之策略(治標)以維護相關各行為主體之利益。

Piracy and armed robbery against ship in West Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden became the major issues on maritime affairs these years, the case originated since Somalia Central Government collapsed in 1991, the domestic situation turn into anarchy. By the functions of the government was totally out of working, long time civil war, hardship environment for living, famine because of drought, IUU fishing and the geographical position make the piracy existence and getting worse. This study referred to the cause of Somali Piracy and estimate International`s currently act against the Somalia Piracy what is right and what can be improved? What should Taiwan do as an International member will also discuss in the end.
After observing all reasons that cause of Somali Piracy, the point is after Somalia became a failed state, it can`t perform the basic functions of governance, made Somalia could not exercise rights and duties from international law. Trying to governance and keep the basic functions of a government, the United Nations has intervened in Somalia for maintaining the regional security situation and the human rights. The ways we suppressing Piracy off Somali Coast can divided into two aspects: humanitarian aids, capacities building and promote reconciliation to Somali factions can be the first aspect; the second is combating Somalia Piracy in accordance with legitimacy, the United Nations Conventions on the Law of the Sea provides a definition for piracy and international subjects should take this definition as criterion against the pirates, legal documents like United Nations Security Council Resolution can assist the legal framework too. The author also trying to find out the political factors that push States deployment of navy by naval policy theory and analysis the naval forces sent to counter piracy. This study conclude that: (1) the humanitarian aids is still limited, it can`t help all the refugees in Somalia(especially the piracy rampant areas);(2) The Peace Process is not the solution for Somali`s secession;(3) States who wants to prosecute pirates should update their domestic pirate code;(4) States should collaborate in naval operations, sharing intelligence each other, deploy lighter warships and take new tactics to deter and reduce the threat posed by pirates;(5) Finally, Taiwan should not keep silence at this issue, we need some actions under permissible abilities and budgets, as an opportunity to cooperate with international communities.
Facing challenges from piracy off the Somalia Coast, international communities should realize piracy won`t be ended in short term. It should take actions under both two aspects that the author mentioned at the beginning, to erase the causes of piracy and improve the counter piracy strategy. International communities must protect the interests of all subjects while countering Somali piracy.
