A Europe and the World Special Issue.

This Europe and the World: A law review special Issue comprises selected papers presented at a two-day workshop on the theme of extraterritoriality, human rights and the European Union (EU) after the entry into force of the 2009 Treaty of Lisbon, held at the University of Sussex School of Law in July 2017. It provides a fresh insight into the extraterritorial effects produced by the rules and conduct of the EU by focusing on two broad areas of EU law: trade and public procurement. The papers included in this Special Issue address questions such as the human rights obligations of the EU in relation to its external action, the justiciability within the EU order of extraterritorial human rights violations, the extraterritorial conduct of the EU and the reach of its policies and laws from the perspectives of EU law and international (human rights) law. While it is certain - as shown by the papers included in this special Issue - that the extraterritorial reach of EU law and the extraterritorial conduct of the EU have important human rights effects and redistributive implications, identifying and understanding the exact contours of these effects and implications poses a significant challenge, which requires further research.
