The UK Supreme court’s judgment in a case on a state hacking the devices of a human rights activist located in the UK

On EJIL the article by Daisy Peterson, Location, Location, Location: The UK Supreme Court’s Judgment in Shehabi v. Bahrain, was published. She describes the topic of the article as follows:

While the Supreme Court’s clarification of the meaning of Section 5 is in itself significant (…) in this post, I wish to explore the aspects of the decision that may possess broader significance for international law. First, the Judgment addresses how international law may decide the location of State conduct when States increasingly act remotely. Second, the Judgment considers whether international law requires (or, alternatively, permits) a territorial tort exception for remote acts undertaken in the exercise of sovereign authority.
