Abstract

The United States applies their jurisdiction abroad under several instances. This is something very important for U.S. based corporations with global operations to understand, since there might be in a situation where U.S. jurisdiction applies as a result of actions taken by one of their subsidiaries in a foreign jurisdiction. The issue presented in this paper is when the U.S. can exercise jurisdiction abroad, so we will discuss the protective principle and universality of the five bases of jurisdiction as described below: Five Bases of Jurisdiction · Territoriality · Nationality · Passive Personality · Protective Principle · Universality
