This volume offers a detailed synopsis of jurisdictional problems and possiblesolutions for viable corporate criminal liability. It illustrates the broad challengesraised by targeting corporations for allegedly causing harm in third countrieswith regard to territory and sovereignty in the age of globalisation. As the UNGuiding Principles on Business and Human Rights of 2011 oblige countries toestablish a legal framework ensuring that corporations respect internationallyprotected legal interests and basic human rights when doing business abroad, itwill have consequences for jurisdictional rules. States shall provide a remedy forvictims of alleged human rights violations by corporate groups, as well as crimesalleged to have occurred in their supply chains if certain conditions are met. Ofparticular interest is the establishment of the link between substantive law andthe application of territorial jurisdiction. Also addressed is the need for potentialenhancement of traditional jurisdictional rules.
