Consider the following statements regarding Anti Maritime Policy Bill 2019 India currently does not ...........

Explanation:

Both statements 1&2 are correct.
Anti-Maritime Piracy Bill

• India currently does not have legislation on matters of piracy on the high seas.

• Once enacted, the Anti-Maritime Piracy Bill will bring into law the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, which India ratified in 1995.

• Previously, pirates were prosecuted under the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC), under provisions dealing with armed robbery and the admiralty jurisdiction of specific courts.

• However, India’s sovereignty is delimited by the outer boundary of its territorial waters, 12 nautical miles from the coast.

• Acts of piracy committed by a foreigner outside India’s territorial waters cannot be an offense under the IPC, and those accused in piracy cases have been acquitted due to the lack of jurisdiction.

• The Anti-Maritime Piracy Bill defines piracy as an act of violence or detention by the crew or passengers of a private vessel or private aircraft on high seas, directed against another vessel or aircraft and/or people or property on board.

• The Bill will apply to the sea beyond the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), that is, beyond 200 nautical miles from India’s coastline.

• It is unclear if it will apply in the EEZ that extends between 12 and 200 nautical miles from the coast of India.

Hence option 1st is correct.
