La questione del confine italo-francese sul Monte Bianco

2020

Even though the common interest of France and Italy in relation to their Alpine border should be enhancing co-operation on cross-border issues (such as improving climate change adaptation as well as preventing and managing risks) a dispute on the delimitation of the border in the area around Monte Bianco has arisen in last years. As any other international dispute on territorial borders, it presents three different plans of analysis: the interpretation of boundary treaties and their official maps; the legal weight of “other” maps; the relationship between the boundary treaty and subsequent practice of the Parties (above all the relevance of effectivités). This article shortly discusses thes…

The Holy See's Position on Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems

2020

The issue of lethal autonomous weapons systems (laws) goes to the heart of the debate on new warfare technologies: States, international organizations, non-governmental organizations and civil society at large have long been discussing the acceptability of ‘autonomous killing’. The present contribution zooms in on the position held by the Holy See, exploring its content and the main arguments which support the call of a ban on such technology. Both diplomatic statements and doctrinal teachings will be tackled. Importantly, a solid argument for a prohibition of laws is based on the moral unacceptability of autonomous killing, which may assume also a legal standing through the so-called Marte…

La salud y el acceso a los medicamentos. Un análisis del derecho y la participación de las empresas farmacéuticas

2021

One of the most controverted topics of human rights protection is the role of non-State actors in guaranteeing the rights of individuals since in most cases regional and universal organizations have purely focused their attention on the responsibility of States alone. Accordingly, relevant scholars have urged the need for international law to provide clear and stricter provisions which aim at regulating the conduct of such peculiar actors. Yet, the current international legal realm demonstrates that no legally binding provisions have been adopted and mere soft law instruments have been endorsed at the intergovernmental level. The non-binding character of these instruments provides sufficien…

2009

El presente ensayo pretende reconstruir la evolución del concepto del derecho a una vida digna en el jurisprudencia de la Corte interamericana de derechos humanos.

L'interprétation des traités établissant la frontière

2016

Il lavoro si occupa del problema se l'interpretazione dei trattati che stabiliscono frontiere è sottoposta a principi particolari o se, al contrario, segue i principi comuni applicabili all'interpretazione dei trattati. La tesi esposta è che le particolarità dell'interpretazione in questo settore sono due. La prima cpmsoste nell'applicazione, accanto ai principi generali di natura metodologica fissati negli articoli 31-33 della Convenzione di Vienna sul diritto dei trattati, di un principio interpretativo sostanziale, e cioè il cd. principio della stabilità delle frontiere, anche se il suo ambito di applicazione è più ristretto di quanto possa a prima vista ritenersi. La seconda peculiarità…

Where are we now with global forest regulation and governance? Insights from a 'Global Public Goods' Perspective

2016

Even if an encouraging tendency has recently been observed towards a reduction in the rates of global deforestation, the extent and quality of forests continue to decline in many regions of the world, with alarming consequences on the functioning of global hydrological cycles, the conservation of the world's biological diversity, and the fight against climate change. Against this background, the aim of the present article is to investigate the weaknesses of, and the areas for improvement in, the current framework of global forest governance, through an analysis conducted using the lens of the concept of «global public goods» as transposed into, and shaped by, two competing theoretical appro…

CONVENZIONE EUROPEA DEI DIRITTI DELL'UOMO E VIOLAZIONI STRUTTURALI (COME SI EVOLVONO I SISTEMI DI PROTEZIONE DEI DIRITTI UMANI)

Uccisioni mirate, legittima difesa preventiva e diritti umani

2018

Targeted killings by drones on the territory of other States has increasingly become the US Administration’s weapon of choice in the war against terrorism. According to the US, these operations constitute a justified use of self-defensive force «against terrorists who pose a continuing and imminent threat to the American people» (Remarks by the President at the National Defense University, 23 May 2013, www.whitehouse.gov). The aim of the present article is to assess the validity of this justification under both ius ad bellum and international human rights law. To this end, Section 1 introduces the arguments advanced by the US Administration. Section 2 explores the admissibility of anticipat…

Omicidi mirati a mezzo drone: brevi riflessioni a margine del caso "Lo Porto" tra diritto penale e diritto internazionale

2018

Quale diritto penale in ipotesi di "vittime collaterali" di drone strike? La sempre maggiore rilevanza che il fenomeno degli omicidi mirati a mezzo drone assume nel contesto internazionale pone la necessità di interrogarsi su come, nell'ordinamento interno, le categorie classiche del diritto penale debbano operare rispetto a fattispecie "peculiari", caratterizzate da una distanza fisica e psichica dal target e dall’esistenza di una “catena di comando” coinvolta, a più livelli, nella singola operazione di omicidio mirato. Si cercherà pertanto di capire, partendo dal caso dell'omicidio di un cittadino italiano per mezzo di droni statunitensi in Pakistan, ma fornendo un contributo di portata p…
