Conclusion

The conclusion revisits the central tenets and strands of the argument: how to understand interpretation, why jurisdiction is necessary, and how to account for it in international human rights law, how to relate it to territory, and how to apply jurisdiction as political power to a wide range of cases. It futher connects the theory of extraterritoriality developed in the previous chapters to wider considerations and takes stock of which questions have been answered and which questions remain. Finally, we consider why a narrow view of human rights might be our best option if we want to advance claims of global justice.
