Abstract

The chapter explores two aspects of extraterritoriality and Africa. The first deals with criminal law. It considers the extent to which African states provide for extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction, how this has been influenced by United Nations and African Union law, and the limited application of this extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction in practice. The second part of the chapter considers various linkages between international human rights law and extraterritoriality both from the perspective of intra-African obligations and the extraterritorial obligations of states outside Africa in the context of past and present exploitation of the African continent. It discusses how extraterritorial obligations relate to issues such as historical reparations, return of cultural heritage, foreign military presence, aid, trade, development projects with transboundary effects, and accountability of transnational corporations.
