The question of jurisdiction of U. S. law over acts committed outside the territorial limits of the country has been settled by the courts through application of a long-established principle of international law called the:.

Principle of Nationality.

Explanation:

Nationality principle entails the power a state has to punish its citizen or national over an offence committed in another state. Through this principle, a state can exercise jurisdiction over its citizens even when they are not within the confines of the state. For instance, an English national can be prosecuted in the United States for a murder committed. Nationality Principle helps to resolve the issue of the jurisdiction where conflicts arise on territorial jurisdiction.

It empowers a state to punish its citizen who committed an offence even when the act has not termed it an offence in the state it was committed.
