extraterritorial law

These powers include the power to enact extraterritorial laws and enforce them in local courts.

Extraterritorial laws against Iran and Libya are also at an advanced stage of preparation.

Is to negotiate in this manner not to offer de facto recognition of the legitimacy of extraterritorial laws?

Our fear is that if nobody challenges one country's self-proclaimed right to block trade between two others on unjustified grounds, extraterritorial laws could proliferate.

Even though the US has now eased this extraterritorial law, it is still totally unacceptable and a flagrant breach of international law.

The United States is renewing commercial tensions and is not respecting the London commitment on extraterritorial laws.

Second, respect must be ensured for the rules of international law, and a definitive solution must be found for the dispute concerning extraterritorial laws.

Yet the European Union and Parliament are fighting against extraterritorial laws that the United States are trying to impose, such as the Helms-Burton Act.

We should congratulate ourselves on the arms code, but not on the understanding reached on the Helms-Burton Act and the extraterritorial laws between the British presidency of the Council and the United States.

The Statute of Westminster 1931 replaced the Colonial Laws Validity Act 1865 giving the Parliament the ability to make extraterritorial laws and abolished appeals to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council.

As a result, to maintain some degree of logic, since we opposed the extraterritorial measures advocated by the United States Congress, it would be difficult for the European Union to apply extraterritorial laws even if they have what I believe to be noble objectives, such as social protection and the protection of the environment.

This does not of course mean that we must give the United States a blank cheque, and the European Union must affirm its principles in relation to the issue of the death penalty, the issue of the International Criminal Court, the issue of the Kyoto Protocol and the issue of extraterritorial laws.
