The issue can also arise in the context of statutory interpretation. For instance, Justice Thurgood Marshall argues in his dissent to EEOC v. Aramco that the presumption against extraterritoriality is rebutted by a negative inference from the alien-exemption provision of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which states that Title VII "shall not apply to an employer with respect to the employment of aliens outside any State."
The context of this passage is about the legal concept of extraterritorial application and how it relates to statutory interpretation, specifically regarding Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Justice Thurgood Marshall's argument in EEOC v. Aramco illustrates how a specific provision within a statute can be used to overturn the general presumption against extraterritoriality.
