In an epoch of transnational armed conflict, global environmental
harm, and rising inequality, the extraterritorial application of human
rights law has become a pressing and controversial legal issue. Human
rights are invoked to address a number of global-scale problems, such
as trans-border environmental harm, social and economic development,
global inequality, the repression of piracy in ungoverned spaces, and
military occupation and armed conflict in the territory of a third
state. The chapters collected in this volume grapple with the promise
and the dilemmas of the extraterritorial application of human rights
law through an analysis of the legal, theoretical, and practical
questions raised by extending states' human rights obligations beyond
their national territories.
