Digital Volunteers in Disaster Response: Accessibility Challenges
2019
The emergence of the Digital Humanitarian Volunteer (DHV) movements when disaster strikes have drawn the attention of researchers and practitioners in the emergency management and humanitarian domain. While there are established players in this rapidly developing field, there are still unresolved challenges, including accessibility of their digital tools and platforms. The purposes of this paper are twofold. First, it describes the background, impact and future potential of the DHV movement, and discusses the importance of universal design for the digital tools and platforms used for crowdsourcing of crisis information. Second, this paper shows how lack of concern for universal design and a…

Religious Engagement and the Migration Issue: Towards Reconciling Political and Moral Duty
2020
The increasingly acknowledged post-secular perspective has resulted in the emergence of some new approaches theorizing this phenomenon. One such approach has been the concept of religious engagement, which calls for the redefinition of the perception of religious non-state actors towards including them as important partners in the process of identifying and realizing political goals. According to this view, due to the multidimensional role played by religious communities and non-state religious actors, they need to be recognized as pivotal in creating a new form of knowledge generated through encounter and dialogue of the political decision-makers with these subjects. Among numerous others,…
Occupazione militare e tutela della proprietŕ privata
2012
Moving from the complementary relationship between International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law, this article analyses the issue of private property in occupied territory from the civilians perspective. In the attempt to verify if contemporaneous practice has modified customary international law obligations of Occupying Powers, the Author highlights the complex and heterogeneous evolution of the protection of the right to private property. On the one hand, practice confirms the strengthening of its safeguard by the extensive interpretation of the absolute prohibition on confiscation, forbidding an occupying power to take "permanent" measures of dispossession and de fact…

International Law, War and Human Rights: The Humanitarian Response
2013
One of the most important issues in the international political and legal system comprises the interaction between human rights and humanitarian law. In particular, the separate treatment of such areas of law allows to delineate different contents and application procedures, while the joint consideration is not simple, in view of the reasons for which each of the two has been created. Humanitarian law is a set of rules of conduct limited to a political and legal situation pathological, and presumably temporary. Against this regulatory system, the international law of human rights is the establishment of a political and legal concept of man as endowed with certain inalienable rights that con…
Human Rights and Changes to the International Legal System. Philosophical Reflections on the (Difficult) Coexistence of International Humanitarian La…
2012
Chapter 6 analyses the relationship between International human rights law (IHRL) and international humanitarian law (IHL). IHL represents the new version of a part of the old ius gentium, in particular its ius in bello. Nonetheless, IHL excludes ius ad bellum, formerly linked to ius in bello in ius gentium, in continuity with the Just War Theory. The current IHL is characterized by neutrality, impartiality, and humanity in protecting victims. The practice of IHRL – not the abstract doctrine of natural rights – aims to protect human beings in different contexts and against different forms of vulnerability. In this last sense, IHL could be seen as a part of the former in the case of vulnerab…
