The Routledge Handbook on Extraterritorial Human Rights Obligations

"The editors have been working on extraterritorial human rights obligations for years and have brought their collective experience to bear on this welcome volume. Up to the moment, wide-ranging and with specialist coverage, this is an extremely valuable compendium that assesses international law beyond borders as if people matter."

Margot Salomon, London School of Economics, UK

"While the general area of extraterritoriality is relatively new, and at times described as 'metaphysics of human rights law', this volume takes the discourse to new heights in covering novel areas such as digitalisation, cyber operations, arms control, climate change and refugee rights in the context of extraterritorial human rights obligations. Written by some of the pioneers of the field of extraterritoriality, the book is a great addition to the emerging literature on the topic. What is equally impressive about this book is its coverage of global as well as regional human rights systems, both in theory and practice."

Takele Soboka Bulto, Legal Adviser, Peace and Security Department, African Union

"This rich and comprehensive collection of different aspects of the extraterritorial application of human rights treaties is a welcome addition to the academic discourse. Through its variety of subjects and perspectives, the book will help in understanding the complexities of the topic and move the thinking about the development of the law further."

Fons Coomans, Maastricht University, The Netherlands
