Grounds for Asylum in the United Kingdom: Legal Materials, Case Studies, and Reflections from the Perspective of a County of Origin Expert
This book is intended as a guide and support for legal practitioners in the field of asylum law. Each case-study deals with topics that, though extremely specific, relate to broader issues that country of origin experts often deal with: religious freedom, human slavery, integrity of the person, sexual orientation and gender identity. These topics are presented in a practical, clear and schematic manner, each chapter organised in a distinct, almost diagrammatic way, to make the reader familiar with the structure that typically characterises country of origin reports - the medium that is most used by experts - a structure that necessarily is concise and crisp.
Significati vecchi e nuovi di ideologia: una rassegna
Old ideologies, defined as «grand narratives», seem to have faded away, but this is not a conclusive argument to state that ideology has, itself, disappeared. In fact, there are strong reasons to believe that it has not. In the first part, this article offers a synthetic survey of some of the most significant conceptions of ideology in order to avoid the confusion generated by uncritical uses of the term. The vantage point of the analysis is the fundamental conceptual opposition between «ideology» and «praxis» («truth», or «reality»). The second part of the article opens up some questions about how the new forms of ideology may thrive in the new spaces created by the communication technolog…
Il sistema di credito sociale cinese: una «nuova» regolazione sociotecnica mediante sorveglianza, valutazione e sanzione
Da qualche anno, il governo cinese sta costruendo un sistema per la raccolta, conservazione e uso di grandi masse di dati digitali che riguardano il comportamento delle persone fisiche e giuridiche in ambito economico, finanziario, sociale, civile e altri ancora. Tali dati saranno usati per valutare il comportamento dei soggetti attribuendo incentivi per le condotte “affidabili”, “degne di fiducia” o “virtuose”, e limitazioni per quelle “non affidabili”, “non degne di fiducia”, “non virtuose”, secondo parametri giuridici, di moralità sociale o proposti dal potere politico. L’attribuzione del credito sociale e la determinazione delle sue conseguenze risultano da un complesso sistema socio-te…

Chinese Legal Theory and Human Rights. Rearticulating Marxism, Liberalism, and the Classical Legal Tradition
Does the Chinese academic discourse on human rights differ from the official one as put forward by the Chinese government? How do Chinese legal theories justify the attribution of human rights and their protection through the law in the context of an authoritarian state? Do Chinese academic theorizations on rights and the law have any capacity to influence the wider public debate in China despite the ideological constraints and censorship imposed on academics by the party in power? In order to answer these questions, this book explores the theories of law and rights by contemporary Chinese legal scholars, paying particular attention to their views on the rule of law and the explanation of r…
La discriminazione tra eguaglianza e libertà
Nel discorso comune, il principio di non discriminazione è un baluardo a difesa dell’eguaglianza, e l’ingiustizia della discriminazione consiste nel privare individui e gruppi della titolarità e del godimento di beni e diritti a causa di un certo tratto, come il colore della pelle, l’origine o il genere. Eppure, non tutte le tesi sulla giustificazione del diritto antidiscriminatorio si fondano su questo valore. Si è sostenuto, infatti, che sia piuttosto la protezione della libertà la ragione ultima delle proibizioni in materia di discriminazione, che si giustificano in base al diritto di realizzare autonomamente la propria individualità. Altre tesi affermano che l’obbligo di non discriminar…
Looking for the "Vulnerable Subject": The Mencian Account of the Person
The idea of the legal subject as an autonomous agent, with the capacity to choose and freely determine herself without external constraints or interference, complete in herself and independent, has had remarkable normative implications in structuring contemporary legal systems. The philosopher Martha Fineman recently argued against this notion, proposing the alternative one of “vulnerable subject.” This paper suggests that the notion of the person elaborated by the classical Confucian thinkers encompasses the “vulnerable subject.” The Confucian theorizations resonate with the ethic of care; however, their moral and normative relevance carries the potential for a broader scope of application…

The Role of the Country of Origin Expert in Judicial Proceedings
The country of origin expert is gradually becoming a central figure in legal procedures, particularly for what concerns the assessment of cases of international protection. Judges, lawyers, and legal practitioners in general increasingly recognise the relevance of this figure, and in their pronouncements, judges frequently rely on specialized information provided by these experts, so as to shed light on particular aspects of the country of origin of those who apply for asylum. The logic that underlies this recent development is as intuitive as it is revealing, for it entails the notion that first-hand experience and acquired knowledge of the legal, social, religious and political facets of …

Analisi della sentenza 25 luglio 1986 n. 4755, resa dalla Sezione I della Corte Suprema di cassazione, come esempio di ragionamento per analogia
Il contributo analizza un caso paradigmatico di ragionamento analogico applicato a una fattispecie concreta in materia di concorrenza sleale/illecito aquiliano. Le principali catene inferenziali del ragionamento giudiziale vengono esplicitate e schematizzate, distinguendo le premesse normative, le premesse fattuali e le rispettive giustificazioni. Sono altresì evidenziati i canoni dell'argomentazione utilizzati in motivazione dai giudici. Sono evidenziati i punti di forza e i punti deboli del ragionamento e della giustificazione delle premesse. Si tratta di un ausilio alla comprensione e applicazione della logica giuridica, con particolare riferimento al ragionamento analogico.
Early Confucian Legal Thought: A Theory of Natural Law?
Confucianism has often been compared to natural law, mainly to its non-volunta- ristic currents. However, the possibility to include Confucianism in the group of natural law theories is problematic. Recently, a few scholars, and notably Peerenboom, have challenged the widely shared thesis that Confucius and early Confucian thinkers should be mentioned in the ranks of natural law philosophers. He contends that early Confucian jurisprudence is more profitably compared to Dworkin’s coherence theory of law than to natural law. The present article discusses three core points: the laws of nature and natural law, the connection between law and morality, and the basic epistemological assumptions pr…
The Central Mediterranean Route: Law Enforcement Without the Rule of Law
It could be successfully argued that there is a general obligation to save lives in danger at sea and that this obligation is moral in nature. Such reasoning, however, is not the specific aim of this paper. Instead, this paper focuses on the legal obligations of the European Union (EU), its Member States, other neighbouring countries, and the EU Border and Coast Guard, towards migrants attempting the risky journey to Europe, in order to find out whether there are any legal steps that can be taken in order to help eliminate deaths in the Mediterranean. The article focuses on the main International Conventions on maritime law, international human rights law, international asylum law, the rele…
