International Criminal Jurisdiction in the Twenty-First Century: Rediscovering United States v. Bowman
The San Diego law review, Vol.44(3), p585
22 Jun 2007
Abstract
The Supreme Court's November 13, 1922 decision of United States v Bowman provides a key distinction that few courts recognize today. If the government is the target or the victim of a criminal act, extraterritorial jurisdiction should be permitted. Conversely, if the target or the victim of the crime is beyond the government, then courts should refuse to permit the government to prosecute absent clear congressional language authorizing an extraterritorial application.
