Which Country Are You In - Pre Passport Control

So when a passenger lands at an airport having travelled internationally and prior to going through Passport Control, technically which country is the passenger in and under whose legal jurisdiction? is it the the arrival country (even though the pax still has not actually entered the country) or still the country of departure - however unlikely the latter sounds?

I guess is the arriving country but I wonder how that would work because at that point the pax has not officially crossed the border and been "accepted" by the officials of the arrival country - the pax still could be refused entry.
