'''Extraterritorial rights''' are rights of foreigners outside of ("extra-") their own [[country]]. These rights are negotiated by diplomats from more powerful countries. For example, Americans and Europeans in the late 19th and early 20th century enjoyed extraterritorial rights in [[China]]. They could not be tried in Chinese courts; their embassies tried and punished any crimes they committed.
