Abstract

The strengthening of legal ways to guarantee the human right’s respect of the prisoners or the persons under arrest made by the members of the Army in foreign operations is a cuestion of undoubted constitutional importance. That interest has had more significance in Spain with the growing implication and riskiness of the soldier’ missions abroad; for example: Irak, Afganistán o la Operación Atalanta. This work has the objective of doing an approximate analysis of how the Spanish Navy, can arrest pirates trying to preserve the human rights of the arrested persons and, further away, in favour of the guarantee, if possible, of the fundamental rights content in the Constitution of 1978.
