Abstract

The United States has resorted to the “secondary sanctions” via extraterritorial application of domestic laws, measures and executive orders with extraterritorial effects. In the present research, the US unilateral measures in extraterritorial application of its domestic laws in the light of “Principles and rules of public international law’ “the performance of the States has been analyzed. According to the research findings, the unilateral actions of the US in exercising the extraterritorial jurisdiction of its domestic laws has faced two main criticisms,
First; this country has violated the fundamental principles of the international law and neglected the international obligations through the imposing the domestic laws and by issuing the executive orders with extraterritorial effects.
Second; the US has illegally developed its legal power beyond its geographical and jurisdictional domain via abusing its power of sovereignty as the world police.
KEYWORDS: Extraterritorial Jurisdiction, the US Unilateralism, Principles and Rules of International Law, the US Judicial Procedure
