This article discusses the findings of the European Court of Human Rights in the 2021 case of Georgia v Russia (II) in relation to the applicability of the European Convention on Human Rights to the conduct of hostilities. The article describes the arguments advanced by the Court to support the idea that the Convention does not apply to extraterritorial hostilities in an international armed conflict. In the light of past decisions, international humanitarian law, international human rights law, and the law of the treaties, it is argued that the Court's conclusion is unconvincing and the arguments seem to be based on extralegal considerations, rather than on a sound interpretation of the notion of state jurisdiction under the Convention.

本文讨论了欧洲人权法院在 2021 年格鲁吉亚诉俄罗斯 (II) 案中关于《欧洲人权公约》对敌对行动的适用性的调查结果。文章描述了法院提出的论点，以支持《公约》不适用于国际武装冲突中的域外敌对行动的观点。鉴于过去的裁决、国际人道主义法、国际人权法和条约法，有人认为法院的结论缺乏说服力，而且这些论点似乎是基于法外考虑，而不是基于对公约下的国家管辖权的概念。
