- China was the last important nation to finally end the use of exterritoriality. This important international law study covers the termination, except where it applies to diplomats and special ambassadors.

This useful legal reference source covers the failure of negotiations, special courts for foreigners, with copious appendices on courts, constitution, criminal codes, and foreign concessions.
