The Contribution of the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights to the Protection of Indigenous Peoples’ Rights
2018
On the 26th May 2017, the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights rendered its first judgement on an indigenous peoples’ rights case, dealing with the forced eviction of the Ogieks, a Kenyan hunter-gatherer indigenous community of approximately 20.000 members, from their ancestral lands in the Mau Forest. The ruling, which has been extensively welcomed as a «huge victory» and a «landmark» for the protection of indigenous peoples’ rights in Africa, touches on many complex and sensitive issues concerning the situation of indigenous peoples all over the continent. The aim of the present contribution is to use the Ogiek decision to study the Court’s approach to indigenous peoples’ rights and…

Civil society participation in international decision making: recent developments and future perspectives in the indigenous rights arena
2012
This article focuses on key issues and recent developments concerning indigenous peoples' involvement in international decision making affecting their rights and interests. Based on a human rights-based approach to participation, it suggests that while a number of positive steps have been taken to allow indigenous peoples the possibility to take part to, and influence, relevant intergovernmental decision-making processes, there's a need to provide their own self-governing institutions and organisations with a more influential status than that granted to civil society organisations (CSOs) generally, whereby they can exercise different levels of participatory rights, depending upon the nature…

Chi uccide paga. Modelli di responsabilità internazionale dello Stato e armi autonome
2023
The increasing use of AI techniques in the military raises multifarious questions, related not only to the ability of Autonomous Weapon Systems (AWS) to operate within the rules that international law provides for the use of force, but also to issues of international responsibility.
Le misure cautelari nei giudizi interstatali sui diritti umani: la prassi recente della Corte internazionale di giustizia e della Corte europea dei d…
2021
In the last few years there has been a significant quantitative increase in requesting interim measures of protection in inter-State cases concerning human rights, namely in inter-State proceedings before the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and in proceedings before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) grounded on the compromissory clauses included in human rights treaties. In these cases, the ultimate beneficiaries of the interim protection are individuals although, formally, proceedings focus on States’ rights and duties (concerning the protection of human rights). The present paper analyses the recent case-law of the said courts from a double perspective: on the one hand, with…
Attacking cultural property to destroy a community: heritage destruction as a crime against humanity and genocide
2020
Cultural heritage, if considered in a multilevel dimension, represents the essence of a population. Attacks against tangible cultural heritage can amount to persecution or ethnic cleansing if committed with a discriminatory intent. For their nature, such attacks are often accompanied by destruction of intangible cultural heritage targeting the language, the traditions and the uses of a people. They cause, alongside tremendous losses of something unique and irreplaceable, psychological damages to the communities linked to them. An episode of cultural cleansing like the removal of communities by eradicating their cultural presence on a land encompasses also deliberate attacks against cultural…
Il diritto non scritto nel sistema della Convenzione europea dei diritti umani
2016
Il lavoro si occupa dei rapporti tra diritto internazionale generale e sistema della Cedu, affrontando in particolare il problema di capire se la Corte edu abbia fatto ricorso al modello tradizionalmente usato nella giurisprudenza internazionale per stabilire condizioni e modalità di funzionamento delle norme generali nel sistema o se abbia elaborato una concezione un modello autonomo. This paper discusses the relationship between customary international law and the ECHR. The focus is the question whether this problem has been handled by the European Court of Human Rights through the model of relationship between customary law and treaty law which is commonly used by international judges an…
Autonomous Weapons Systems and the Protection of the Human Person: An International Law Analysis
2022
Providing a much needed study of the weapons paradox in the case of autonomous weapons, this book is a detailed and comprehensive account of the current debate over the use of autonomous weapons – should some form of regulation be applied or a total ban be enforced? How can compliance with existing rules be ensured? Can responsibility be properly allocated? To what extent do concepts such as ‘human dignity’ and ‘humanity’ provide legal guidance in coping with technology? This book tackles these momentous challenges and strives to provide sound answers, by elaborating on international law and proposing normative solutions for current and future human-machine interactions in this critical fie…
Introduction: Definition and Legal Sources
2019
The aim of the contribution is to define the concept of international military operations to which the rules of humanitarian law apply. The work also offers a definition of the sending state and the host state of these operations. It also identifies the normative sources governing these phenomena: from international humanitarian law ("ius in bello") to human rights law, UN standards, the agreements on the status of the forces deployed, but also internal legal systems.
