【 摘 要 】

The concept of state jurisdiction in international law is based on the principle of sovereign equality, establishing thateach state enjoys the exclusive right to exercise authority (with the obligation of non-interference for other members of theinternational community) over a given territory, its population and its goods, as well as over events and acts committed withinits territorial boundaries. The central focus of the present paper is jurisdiction, regarded as a manifestation of sovereignty,referring to the state competence to legislate and apply law to particular events, persons and property. Traditionaly,jurisdiction has been tightly connected to the concept of territory. However, of particular interest is what happens in situationsthat involve elements of extraneity, when several states claim jurisdiction over a certain event. In this sense, the five principlesgoverning the exercise of state jurisdiction in criminal law matters will be analysed.
