Original Note:
The Houthis seized M/V GALAXY LEADER as it was transiting the Red Sea. As the Houthis do not represent any recognized government, this was an act of piracy. All nations are obligated to repress piracy under the United Nations Convention On The Law Of The Sea. https://www.un.org/depts/los/piracy/piracy_legal_framework.htm
