Outline of Final Research Achievements

An analysis of the scope of State jurisdiction over foreign States suggests that international law concerning the exercise of State jurisdiction is structured into two layers: ‘international law which places primary limits upon the exercise of State jurisdiction’ and ‘international law which unifies and/or co-ordinates the exercise of State jurisdiction’. This research attempted to apply this idea to the scope of State jurisdiction over non-State actors including a ‘sui generis’ one, such as an unrecognised State and the Bank for International Settlement, and critically analysed the practice of Japan and some other States. Several recent decisions of domestic and international courts which this research examined include those of the Supreme Court of Japan (8 December 2011), the International Criminal Court, Pre-trial Chamber I (12 December 2011), the International Court of Justice (3 February 2012 and 20 July 2012) and the Supreme Court of the United States (17 April 2013).
