1st Edition
The Routledge Handbook on Extraterritorial Human Rights Obligations
The Routledge Handbook on Extraterritorial Human Rights Obligations brings international scholarship on transnational human rights obligations into a comprehensive and wide-ranging volume.
Each chapter combines a thorough analysis of a particular issue area and provides a forward-looking perspective of how extraterritorial human rights obligations (ETOs) might come to be more fully recognized, outlining shortcomings but also best state practices. It builds insights gained from state practice to identify gaps in the literature and points to future avenues of inquiry. The Handbook is organized into seven thematic parts: conceptualization and theoretical foundations; enforcement; migration and refugee protection; financial assistance and sanctions; finance, investment and trade; peace and security; and environment. Chapters summarize the cutting edge of current knowledge on key topics as leading experts critically reflect on ETOs, and, where appropriate, engage with the Maastricht Principles to critically evaluate their value 10 years after their adoption.
The Routledge Handbook on Extraterritorial Human Rights Obligations is an authoritative and essential reference text for scholars and students of human rights and human rights law, and more broadly, of international law and international relations as well as to those working in international economic law, development studies, peace and conflict studies, environmental law and migration.

"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
