国际社会未能建立一个有效的起诉制度来审判被俘的索马里海盗。这种失败的部分原因是，美国和欧洲发达国家没有能力按照国际法的规定，履行它们在起诉被捕海盗方面的责任。由于国内的政治压力，把对抓获的索马里海盗的审判工作外包给肯尼亚和东非区域的其他发展中国家已成为政治上的权宜之计。截至2009年底，肯尼亚已与加拿大、中国、丹麦、英国、美国和欧盟签署了六份谅解备忘录。肯尼亚已经成为审判被俘的索马里海盗的最大目的地，这些海盗的受害者不是肯尼亚人；被袭击的船只没有悬挂肯尼亚国旗，被袭击的船只不是由肯尼亚人管理，罪行也没有发生在肯尼亚领海。目前构建、构思和实施的外包在道德和法律上都是错误的。它让一个弱国和穷国肩负起国际社会的责任。本文探讨了外包的原因及其对肯尼亚的影响。
There has been a failure by the international community to establish an effective system of prosecution for the trial of captured Somali pirates. This failure is in part due to the inability of the United States and by developed countries in Europe to carry out their responsibility as prescribed under international laws dealing with the prosecution of captured pirates. Owing to domestic political pressures, it has become politically expedient to outsource the trial of captured Somali pirates to Kenya and other developing countries in the East African region. By the end of 2009, Kenya had signed six memoranda of understanding with Canada, China, Demark, the United Kingdom, the United States and the European Union. Kenya has become the single largest destination for the trial of captured Somali pirates whose victims are not Kenyans; the attacked vessels do not fly the Kenyan flag, the attacked ships are not managed by Kenyans and the crimes did not occur in Kenya's territorial waters. Outsourcing as constructed, conceived and implemented at present is morally and legally wrong. It has left a weak and poor country to shoulder the responsibility of the international community. This paper examines the reasons for outsourcing and its implications for Kenya.
