Sumario:The present academic work is but a first chapter to deal with the study of piracy that takes place in the deep seas; the research analyzes the premises that will expose the criminal elements. These elements are subjective and normative by nature. These had not been examined doctrinally. Subsequently, the present academic study will focus on the contemporary legislation of North America and the Caribbean countries; The Caribbean will be divided into major and minor Antilles as way to separate Central and South of the Americas. In another chapter it will be discussed the existence or non existence of piracy within the constitutions, penal, civil or mercantile codes, as well as in the active maritime laws. It needs to stablish that Caribbean countries were legislatively more active during piracy periods from the XVII to the XVII century. To this day such laws are still active, despite the absence in its contemporary criminal incidence. It is precisely in this era where the temporality of the legal analysis will be limited. Although, it is a subject related to privateering patents and pillage courts, they are treated in a different research. In Central and South America, as well as in Europe piracy is considered a crime, but the extension of the same investigation requires a segmented approach.
