REVISITING THE DOCTRINE OF STATE JURISDICTION IN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article aims at analysing the main mechanisms available, for setting limits to the exercise of State Criminal Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, mainly as it applies to International Crimes in the absence of direct links between the conduct of the accused person and the State. Initially, jurisdiction is examined as a legal concept, for later to be approached within the delimitation of the State power to exercise its jurisdictional competence horizontally (among States), as it is not in the scope of this article the vertical exercise of State Jurisdiction (State & International Courts).
