Question:

Define jurisdiction due to nationality (active personality).

Author: Bas Dubbelman



Answer:

States may extend their laws to their own nationals regardless of where they are located. We see this type of jurisdiction in criminal cases. If a person has a double nationality --> 2 states have jurisdiction. The Nottebohm Case decided that there has to be a connection between someone and their nationality.
