This book emerged from an initiative to take the scholarly discussion on extraterritorial human rights a step further. The result is the first publication in the field that takes a point of departure in the standard legal building blocks of obligation, jurisdiction, causation, attribution and remedies, and it does so in the context of largely under-examined economic, social and cultural rights. The ambition was not to reach a definitive conclusion on the state of international law on extraterritorial obligations. It is a field in flux and dogged by particular controversies — and the assembled authors in this volume diverge on various points. The introduction therefore seeks to distinguish areas of clarity and consensus from those of uncertainty and disagreement and points to some ways forward. In an afterword, two authors also look more normatively at the state of legal play from the perspective of different theories in political philosophy.
