Paragraph
Paragraph text
Article 2 of the Optional Protocol requires that authors of communications must be under the jurisdiction of the State party responsible for the violation, and that the State must have ratified both the Covenant and the Optional Protocol. However, the Covenant indicates no restriction to territorial jurisdiction and it will remain to be seen whether the cases to be examined under the Optional Protocol concentrate principally on the territorial link.
