HARGEISA (Feb 22, 2012): Somaliland's parliament has passed legislation recognising piracy as a crime and allowing for pirates convicted abroad to be transferred to the breakaway enclave, officials said on Wednesday.
Somaliland, which declared its independence from Somalia in 1991 but is still not recognised internationally, said the laws were a sign of the territory's commitment to fighting maritime attacks off Somalia's shores.
The two laws come ahead of a conference on Somalia in London
