Gibney, Erdem Türkelli, Krajewski, & Vandenhole: The Routledge Handbook on Extraterritorial Human Rights Obligations

Mark Gibney
(Univ. of North Carolina, Ashville), Gamze Erdem Türkelli (Univ. of Antwerp), Markus Krajewski (Univ. of Erlangen-Nürnberg), & Wouter Vandenhole (Univ. of Antwerp) have published The Routledge Handbook on Extraterritorial Human Rights Obligations (Routledge 2022). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:
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.
