can countries enforce laws from other countries?

Question

i'm doing international law andd need to know whether a piece of valid prescriptive jurisdiction say prohibiting the causing of harm to a state's nationals anywhere in the world could be enforced by a state which didn't actually pass the legislation. so for instance if the United Kingdom made a law making it illegal for anyone anywhere to injure a British citizen (assuming that the law had a valid basses of prescriptive jurisdiction) could say France enforce this law in her courts, could france prosecute a mexican in franch courts for harming a British citizen in say Germany. if you can answer this question please give me links to reputable sites which can backup what you say with cases, laws etc. best answer goes to person who does this. thanks

Answer 1

No country can (at present) enforce the laws of another nation in 'national' courts.

That is why there are international courts (like the Hague) - to apply international law to international criminal cases.

Using your example - the only way for a French court to process someone for harming a British citizen is if FRANCE has a law that prohibits harming a British citizen ... regardless of what the British courts - or any other nation - has to say on the issue.

What a genius! Asking islamic regulation in commute area. BRAVO!!! clap clap question: did you comprehend the that technique of genuine that technique of khalwat? the position did you get this stoning to death element? Potong tangan kerana mencuri. Mengikut undang-undang Islam, hakim akan bertanya mengapa pencuri itu mencuri. Jika jawapannya adalah kerana terpaksa dan bukannya suka-suka, maka hakim akan menyiasat mengapa keadaan ini berlaku. Jika didapati bahawa kerajaan atau pembesar yang menyebabkan keadaan ini berlaku, maka merekalah yang akan dihukum kerana cuai dalam menjalankan tugas. Jika tidak memahami sesuatu keadaan, maka hendaklah kamu bertanya. Jangan disebabkan kamu tahu sedikit sahaja, kamu terus beranggapan bahawa itu adalah yang sebenarnya.
