WHAT are
the limits of national sovereignty, and the relationship between sovereignty (imperium) and possession (dominium)?

a tug of war of international maritime relations between the end of WWII and the end of the cold war in 1989 can also be seen as a period of deep decolonization. It is a wonder, and not a coincidence that the freedom of lands sees a new colonial capturing at sea - UNCLOS - the largest territorisation process on earth.
United Nation Convention of Laws of the Sea
article 101 of UNCLOS, which reads as follows:
''Piracy consists of any of the following acts:
(a) any illegal acts of violence or detention, or any act of depredation, committed for private ends by the crew or the passengers of a private ship or a private aircraft, and directed:
(i) on the high seas, against another ship or aircraft, or against persons or property on board such ship or aircraft;
(ii) against a ship, aircraft, persons or property in a place outside the jurisdiction of any State;
