“Transnational Repression and International Law” co-authored by Siena Anstis

A new book co-authored by Siena Anstis, senior legal advisor at The Citizen Lab, is now available for purchase. Transnational Repression and International Law explores the rise of state-sponsored extraterritorial killings and the implications for international law.

New technologies, and particularly the use of drones, have had transformative effects on the exercise of cross-boundary violence and warfare. Individuals specifically identified by the state are now often the central targets of military action. Other types of state-sponsored extraterritorial killing of individuals have also increased, or at least become more visible. The aim of this book is to spotlight the extraterritorial killings of opponents and to identify the building blocks of an emerging international legal framework to counter them.
