Территориальный юрисдикционный принцип в теоретическом и сравнительно-правовом аспектах

Abstract

The article considers the concept and scope of the territorial principle of establishing criminal jurisdiction in the form in which it is reflected in the doctrine, documents of the International Law Commission and legislation of Russia and foreign countries. It has been demonstrated that the territorial principle is understood more broadly to cover situations where the crime hasn’t been committed on the territory of one state only. This leads to the development of concepts that are mixed with extraterritorial principles (the doctrine of “effect”). In this regard, various approaches to the content of the territorial principle are proposed, and their practicability and applicability are evaluated.
