Summary
The book grapples with the applicability and application of international human rights law in geographic areas where the State that is recognised as the sovereign of the territory (territorial State) has lost effective control over a part of its territory. As such regions vary both as to the manner in which the territorial State has lost its territorial control and as to the subject that has taken over territorial control of the area, the chapter classifies and delimits the geographic areas on which the book focuses, and presents its conceptual framework.
