Extraterritorial Criminal Jurisdiction and International Terrorism

This book provides the first comprehensive and empirically informed analysis of the protective principle of extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction. This book provides, for the first time in recent history, a reconsidered, innovatively conceptualised exposition of the principle. It goes further to provide new insight on how States have used protective principle jurisdiction. It also identifies and defines vital interests and provides a typology of interests included under the ambit of the protective principle lex lata. This is an important work bringing much needed clarity to (at times) a controversial legal principle.
