Pathways towards a sustainable future envisioned by early-career conservation researchers
2021
Scientists have warned decision-makers about the severe consequences of the global environmental crisis since the 1970s. Yet ecological degradation continues and little has been done to address climate change. We investigated early-career conservation researchers' (ECR) perspectives on, and prioritization of, actions furthering sustainability. We conducted a survey (n = 67) and an interactive workshop (n = 35) for ECR attendees of the 5th European Congress of Conservation Biology (2018). Building on these data and discussions, we identified ongoing and forthcoming advances in conservation science. These include increased transdisciplinarity, science communication, advocacy in conservati…
Crimes against humanity in contemporary International Law
2009
Estudio de los elementos constitutivos, generales y específicos, de todos y cada uno de los crímenes contra la humanidad regulados en el Estatuto de Roma de la Corte Penal Internacional. Study of the constituent elements, both general and specifics, of all and each one of the crimes against humanity established in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
CREATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW. STUDY ON THE EMERGENCE OF A LEGAL ORDER
2009
According to a prevailing view, the law of international criminal jurisdictions constitutes a branch of public international law. However, despite a strong institutional anchoring to public international law, this area of law, which is referred to as international criminal law for the purposes of this study, seems to go beyond the framework of public international law. Unprecedented solutions are being developed by international criminal courts to deal with situations referred to them. The international criminal judge plays a key role in this mechanism of overcoming public international law. The emergence of mass terrorism coupled with the trivialization of internal armed conflicts undermin…
Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi nell’attuale panorama della scuola multiculturale.
2017
Il contributo presenta una riflessione sulla scuola attraverso il contributo pedagogico dello zurighese Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi. Partendo dalla sua idea degli “stati dell'umanità”, viene analizzata la situazione dell'educazione nella scuola italiana, sempre più multiculturale. Inoltre, si terrà conto dei metodi di didattica interculturale più appropriati, considerando le inclinazioni e la storia di ciascun alunno e al fine di accompagnare ciascuno nella realizzazione delle proprie potenzialità, per vivere in futuro da protagonista in un mondo che cambia velocemente. The paper presents a reflection on the current Italian educational system, starting from the conceptual legacy of the Swiss…
Giustizia o umanità? Come e perché le società sviluppate devono rispondere al problema migratorio
2021
The contribution aims to answer the questions indicated in the title in the context of the debate on the theories of justice. It is argued that the theoretical core of the pro- blem concerns the opposition between justice and humanity. According to the theories of domestic justice, it is possible to speak of justice in domestic contexts, while beyond the borders the relevant principle is the less demanding principle of humanity. But the opposition appears controversial both from the point of view of the political community (where there seems to be a need for elements dating back to the sense of humanity), and from the point of view of the international dimension (where the principle of huma…
The Prosecution of International Crimes in Argentina
2010
AbstractIn recent years, the Argentine courts have developed a rich case law surrounding the prosecution of international crimes. In particular, the courts have handed down judgments regarding the limits to amnesties and pardons, and the inapplicability of statutory limitations for crimes against humanity, invoking several sources of international law in the process. However, applying these international norms has caused debate about constitutional matters such as the reach of the principle of legality, the use of customary law, and whether domestic criminal norms are compatible—or could even be combined—with international criminal norms.
La Seconda Vita dell'Ambiente Costruito
2021
Il contributo inquadra i saggi, gli studi, le ricerche e progetti pubblicati sul numero 9 di AGATHÓN su ‘La Seconda Vita dell’Ambiente Costruito’, tema di interesse per il mondo accademico, delle professioni e dell’industria. Cambiamenti climatici, eccessivo consumo di suolo e di risorse non rinnovabili, produzione sempre crescente di rifiuti, emergenza pandemica e crisi socio-economica globale sono entrati di fatto nel nostro quotidiano: seppur drammatiche, per certi versi, tali questioni possono essere colte come un’opportunità per ripensare il modo e il mondo in cui viviamo. In questo contesto di ‘rivoluzione’(Floridi, 2020) e di ‘policrisi’ (Losasso, 2020), e con riferimento specifico a…
Heritage Destruction in Syria and Northern Iraq: Which is the Applicable Law?
2021
The paper aims at reconstructing the applicable legal framework to the widespread destruction of cultural heritage. At first, a legal classification of the conflict under international humanitarian law is provided, with the aim to identify the applicable law. In the second part of the paper, the problem of heritage destruction in Syria is dealt under a double perspective: (i) framing the obligations and potential responsibility fo States (the Syrian Arab Republic and eventually other foreign States involved in the hostilities); and (ii) individual criminal responsibility arising for the perpetrated acts of destruction of cultural heritage.
Psychometric properties and validation of the Polish adaptation of the Light Triad Scale
2019
BackgroundThe aim of the study was to examine the development and structural validation of the Polish version of the Light Triad Scale, which measures three factors: Faith in Humanity, Humanism, and Kantianism. This tool reflects caring and beneficent orienta-tion toward other people, which is demonstrated in everyday behaviour.Participants and procedureThe participants included 400 people aged between 18 and 80 (M = 29.17, SD = 10.60). To measure psychometric properties and for validation of the scale, we used the Polish Dirty Dozen scale and International Personality Item Pool-Big Five Aspect Scales.ResultsConfirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis using α and ω coefficients, and …
Justicia transicional y justicia reconstitutiva
2014
RESUMEN. El presente trabajo contrapone dos versiones de la justicia transicional: para la primera, minimalista, se trata de una justicia ordinaria que solo es excepcional porque debe ejercerse en condiciones extremas que no afectan sin embargo a su naturaleza. En cambio, en la segunda concepción, la justicia sale profundamente transformada ante el tipo de violencia política que debe afrontar, e inaugura de forma permanente una posición diferente de la justicia en la democracia. El sentido profundo de la institución de una nueva categoría de crimen, el crimen contra la humanidad, es esta exigencia de repensar el papel de la justicia asignándole la tarea de proteger la política de sus gérmen…
