Harvard Draft Convention on Piracy
The 1932 Convention of Piracy was provided as one of the 13 commentaries presented in the 1930 League of Nations Codification Conference on International Law. It held piracy as not a crime against the law of nations; giving faith to the jurisdiction of individual states to work together to repress piracy.

Influences
The 1958 Geneva Convention on the High Seas had drawn on the research of the Harvard Draft. The definition of piracy was adopted from the Geneva Convention unto the UNCLOS definition of Piracy verbatim. To this day, the Harvard Draft serves the debate of what defines piracy.
