As the European Union (EU) pursues bilateral trade agreements with third states, the EU should be cognizant of the potential ‘extraterritorial’ impacts of these agreements on the enjoyment of human rights in third states when designing and concluding bilateral trade agreements with third states. This article develops a jurisdictional model to determine the geographic scope of EU human rights obligations in the context of the adoption of EU bilateral trade agreements. It is submitted that the doctrine’s classic semantic focus on ‘extraterritoriality’, captured by such constructs as control, impact, or functional competence, clouds rather than illuminates matters of scope of human rights obligations in the context of trade agreements. Instead of looking for justifications for the extraterritorial application of human rights, it is suggested to turn the justificatory gaze to the internal territorial aspects of the human rights risks created by EU decisions on the conclusion of bilateral trade agreements. An internal-territorial model obviates the need for an elaborate conceptualization of ‘extraterritorial’ obligations.

欧盟贸易协定与人权：从域外义务到领土义务

随着欧盟（EU）寻求与第三国的双边贸易协定，在设计和缔结与第三国的双边贸易协定时，欧盟应该意识到这些协定对第三国享有人权的潜在“域外”影响。本文建立了一种管辖权模型，以在通过欧盟双边贸易协定的背景下确定欧盟人权义务的地理范围。据认为，该学说的经典语义学侧重于“治外法权”，被控制，影响或功能能力之类的结构所笼罩，而不是在贸易协定的背景下阐明人权义务的范围。与其为人权的域外适用寻找理由，建议将正视的目光转向欧盟根据缔结双边贸易协定所作的决定所造成的人权风险的内部领土方面。内部领土模型消除了对“域外”义务进行详尽概念化的需要。
