Popis: How have Mediterranean States been combating unlawful activities carried out on the high seas? Can international rules on enforcement and adjudicative jurisdiction help coastal States to meet this challenge? This contribution attempts to answer these questions with reference to the jurisprudence of the supreme courts of Italy and Spain. The analysis identifies a common attempt by both courts to expand the jurisdiction of domestic tribunals in cases of smuggling of migrants and trafficking of drugs by adopting expansive interpretations of domestic and international law rules.
