What other cases are there. The only cases I know of are of US laws being "applied" overseas. I don't know of any other country that does this/has the power to do this.
- zwirbl 3y agoGermany is trying Syrians for torture and other crimes committed in Syria for the Junta or other factions
- extraduder_ire 3y agoIs this for people who are German residents/citizens, or for crimes against German citizens? I presume they're not trying people in absentia. I do know Germany can't extradite people in most cases, which might have something to do with it.
- Mountain_Skies 3y agoCanada's human rights laws are (can be) applied globally. IIRC, several countries have laws related to child pornography and prostitution that apply globally.
- retrac 3y agoTechnically, the human rights offences aren't applied by nationality (as parent poster brought up); those laws have universal jurisdiction. Most countries have similar laws; the Rome Statute requires that genocide and crimes against humanity be made universal crimes and prosecuted where possible by signatory states.
- vintermann 3y agoI know that Norway and Sweden apply their anti-prostitution laws to citizens regardless of if they bought sex in a country where it is legal (like Denmark and Germany). Maybe less controversially, they also demand their citizens obey their own stronger anti-bribery laws abroad - I think lots of countries do that.
