Privatation should be the opposite of publication: a piece of writing not intended for others' eyes (eg a personal diary); or the act of creating such a work. However, mostly it seems to be used as a synonym for "privatisation"; the transfer of a public asset into private hands.
Also sometimes occurs when "privation" (hardship) is meant - but I think that can be called a mistake.
The practice of privateering was outlawed by the international community in the Declaration of Paris in 1856.

We will authorize privateering against British shipping. We should do this because Britain are making lethal taxes while putting sky-high prices on our daily needs. We will come armed and stand out to the British to show them that we are responsible enough to be independent.

Privateering had been outlawed in 1856 by most European powers. However, the British Proclamation of Neutrality in May of 1861 effectively gave the Confederacy defacto recognition but diplomatic ties were not created. Based on this the British expected the South to abide by the treaty against privateering.

Henry Morgan, the infamous privateer, primarily operated in the Caribbean during the 17th century, particularly from the 1660s to the 1680s. He is best known for his raids on Spanish territories, including a notable attack on the city of Panama in 1671. Morgan sailed from his base in Jamaica, which was a hub for privateering activities during this period. His exploits contributed significantly to the lore of piracy and privateering in the Caribbean.
