Entre controle du respect de la légalité conventionnelle et promotion de la légitimité démocratique: la Cour européenne des droits de l'homme face au…
2013
L'articolo esamina il contributo della Corte europea dei diritti umani ai processi di transizione democratica con particolare attenzione ai Paesi dell'Est europeo. Dall'analisi della giurisprudenza della Corte non emerge una visione unitaria del concetto di "transizione democratica", che viene in rilievo talvolta come un fatto, altre volte come un valore. La stessa "transizione - valore", poi, non è concepita in temini unitari, dato che la democrazia può essere intesa come "aperta" o come "militante". Il contributo si propone, pertanto, di comprendere se nella giurisprudenza della Corte sia possibile riscontrare, se non altro, la ricerca di un punto di equilibrio tra queste diverse nozioni.
Democrazia deliberativa e Convenzione europea dei diritti umani
2010
Deliberative democracy and the European Convention on Human Rights Theories of deliberative democracy have rapidly become very popular amongst political scientists. The central argument of these theories is that democratic legitimacy of lawmaking does not lie (or does not only lie) in the elected character of Parliaments but in public delib- eration processes. Decisions have to be justified by reasons and reasons have to be publicly debated. Legitimacy also depends on the opportunity for citizens to participate effectively in public debates. In this paper I argue that the European Court of Human Rights can be a key player in promoting a democracy based on public deliberation and that in the…
La sentenza Di Sarno e altri c. Italia: un ulteriore passo avanti della Corte di Strasburgo nell'affermazione di obblighi di protezione dell'ambiente
2013
The work analyses the Di Sarno and others v. Italy ruling made by the European Court of Human Rights. After a brief description of the case, the author focuses on the main elements of the ruling showing the Court’s propensity to foster the safeguard of instances in the field of environmental protection. In particular, the elements examined are: the fact that the Court makes explicit reference to the right to enjoy a healthy and safe environment, the ready attribution of the victim status to the applicants, the assessment concerning the serious and direct interference with the applicant’s private sphere, the question concerning a lack of proof of a threat to an individual’s health and well-b…
Leggi retroattive di contenimento della spesa pubblica e giusto processo (a margine della sentenza della Corte costituzionale n. 12 del 2018)
2018
The essay is about limits imposed to the legislature to enact retroactive statute law in “civil matters”. It tackles the dichotomy existing between the European Court of Human Rights’ and the Italian Constitutional Court’s jurisprudence on the theme. The first one has repeatedly ruled that the legislature is not prevented from regulating, through new retrospective provisions, rights derived from the laws in force. Nevertheless, the principle of the rule of law and the notion of a fair trial enshrined in Article 6 of the European Convention of Human Rights preclude, except for compelling public-interest reasons, interference by the legislature with the administration of justice designed to i…
El coste de una decisión que se no quiere tomar. Observaciones acerca de la introducción del delito de tortura en el ordenamiento italiano y un esboz…
2020
After a difficult and disputed drafting, on July 5, 2017, the Italian Parliament approved the Act n. 110/2017, which introduced the crime of torture in Italy. The lack of will of Italian Parliament in promulgating the law, even though Strasbourg Court urged in several occasion to reform the law in order to avoid cases of insufficient sanctions in case of violation of art. 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, can be explained through a redefinition of the model of legislative rationality: legislator might be considered rational when it enacts ambiguous legislative texts at the lowest electoral cost if it urged to do by the pressure of supranational jurisdictions. Finally, even thoug…
Quality of life and sustainable urban redevelopment
2021
The urban landscape is intended as a place of life,meeting, as a dynamic space natural or anthropic to explore, discover or reinterpret. In this scenario, the relationship between the population and the urban landscape is very important as, on the one hand, the landscape promotes the consolidation of territorial identities, and on the other, it requires a certain level of competence, availability, and awareness to take responsibility for the actions that affect it. By acquiring a social conscience, it will be possible to consolidate local and regional identities and diversity, recognising an interest in participation in public decisions. Some national and international urban realities, taki…
