EUIPO Boards of Appeal in the Light of the Principle of Fair Trial
2022
The EUIPO’s Boards of Appeal are called upon to decide on appeals against decisions by the bodies of ‘first instance’. However, their judicial function has always been denied. Conversely, the essay tends to place the Boards of Appeal of the EUIPO in any case within the concept of ‘court’, as defined by the ECtHR, within the framework of Article 6 ECtHR, because it assesses their independence, impartiality, and in general the guarantees required by the ‘fair trial’, until concluding that it is a paradigmatic model in the overall administration and judicial system.

Convenzione europea dei diritti umani e problemi di costituzionalità della legge elettorale italiana
2013
By an order of 21 March 2013, the Court of Cassation referred to the Constitutional Court the question of constitutionality of the current Italian electoral law on the grounds that it runs counter to the constitutional principles of free and equal suffrage. The Constitutional Court has been called by the referring judge to focus on three main aspects of law: the closed list system; the majority bonus in the Chamber of Deputies, by which the coalition that wins the highest number of votes receives at least 55% of the seats; and the majority bonus in the Senate, which is assigned on a regional level. While the Court of Cassation affirmed that the constitutional principles on the right to vote…
Pro e contro dei rimedi domestici: prospettive di sinergia europea nel contenzioso climatico collettivo
2023
Human rights-based national climate litigation is a growing phenomenon. In Europe, this type of litigation is essentially based on the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, whose human rights obligations are used as a means of interpreting climate obligations of States towards their citizens. The analysis of domestic jurisprudence produces a complex picture. On the one hand, we find elements facilitating access to environmental justice, such as more flexible eligibility criteria and the issuing of immediately enforceable judgments. On the other hand, this comes up against obstacles arising from the risk of the lack of impact that a single decision may have. A possible solution to …
Alcune riflessioni sull’indipendenza giudiziaria nel contesto europeo
2023
This article aims to provide some reflections on the links between judiciary independence, the rule of law, and the role of judges both national and European. First of all, it focuses on the evolution of the role of the judge in the constitutional and European systems. Then, it shows how the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights have developed criteria to ensure the independence of judges, analysing them. Moreover, it examines the criteria that have been developed by the European courts and by the opinions of the Consultative Council of European Judges about the independence of the Judiciary Councils.
Coppie omosessuali e tutela costituzionale
2015
Le coppie di fatto e quelle omosessuali in particolare sono da tempo una componente della società italiana. La Corte europea dei diritti dell'uomo nella sentenza Schalk and Kopf del 2010 ha riconosciuto la relazione omosessuale come una delle possibili manifestazioni della vita privata e familiare, la cui tutela è sancita dall'art. 8 Cedu. Anche la Corte costituzionale italiana ha attribuito alla relazione omosessuale la connotazione di "formazione sociale", i cui diritti inviolabili sono riconosciuti e garantiti in base all'art. 2 della Costituzione. In questo quadro, stona l'inerzia del legislatore italiano, incapace sino ad ora di disciplinare anche le semplici relazioni di fatto, indipe…

Il diritto di voto secondo la Corte europea dei diritti dell'uomo e secondo la Corte comunitaria
2007
By two judgments of 12 september 2006 (Kingdom of Spain v. United Kingdom and Eman, Sevinger v. College van burgemeester en wethouders van Den Haag), the Court of Justice of the European Communities found that the provisions of the EC Treaty “contain no rule defining expressly and precisely who are to be entitled to the right to vote and stand as a candidate for the European Parliament”. As a con- senquence, in the current state of community law, the definition of these persons “falls within the competence of each Member State”. The Court pointed out that in the exercise of their competence Member States may not act contrary to EC law and in particular to the principle of equal treatment or…

Protection of Personal Data and Human Rights between the ECHR and the EU Legal Order
2020
The present paper deals with the relationship between privacy and data protection, having regard to the European Union and the European Convention of Human Rights. Such an analysis moves from the normative context (art. 8 ECHR and art. 7 and 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union). Moreover, the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the European Court of Human RIghts is taken into account, in order to enlighten the dfferent scopes of privacy and data protection.
The European Courts and the Security Council: Between "Dédoublement Fonctionnel" and Balancing of Values
2009
The recent case law of various international tribunals facing questions related to UN Security Council resolutions shows the clear tendency to grant primacy to the UN legal order. This trend, far from being well founded on formal arguments, appears to be a tribute to a legal order perceived as superior, and, at the same time, is revealing of the ‘value oriented’ approach followed by the courts. Such an approach can be categorized from a theoretical perspective in the light of Scelle's theory of relations between legal orders, whereby the courts implement in their respective legal orders values stemming from the UN legal order. Various critical remarks can be advanced in relation to this att…
