TO THE ISSUE OF DEFINITION OF JURISDICTION AND ITS MAIN TYPES

Abstract

The definition of the state’s jurisdiction is examined in the article. The approaches to its essence determination which exist in international law are also being analyzed. Under public international law, two approaches could logically be taken to the question of jurisdiction. Either one allows states to exercise jurisdiction as they see fit, unless there is a prohibitive rule to the contrary, or one prohibits states to exercise jurisdiction as they see fit, unless there is a permissive rule to the contrary. The first approach was taken by the Permanent Court of International Justice in the 1927 Lotus case. The second approach, which purportedly reflects customary international law, has been taken by the majority of the doctrine. Due to the use of the first approach during the research the author comes to the conclusion in accordance with which the following types of jurisdiction exist: to the field of application – territorial and extraterritorial, to the scope – full and limited. Territorial jurisdiction is realized by the state at full capacity among its boundaries. Any state realizes its jurisdiction at limited capacity (limited jurisdictional rights) over continental shelf, exclusive economic zone, contiguous zone. Extraterritoriality, in its turn, can be realized only in cases provided by international law on the territories of the other states or on the international territories.
