Prevention of hate speech crimes: digital versus real-life environment

2022

Extending the use of social media and other digital networks, as well as technology development and the impact of the pandemic have raised the problem of how to prevent hateful speech from occurring. Limitations on hate speech closely correlate with restriction of freedom of speech, therefore balance between the two should be met to ensure both fundamental democratic right on the freedom of speech, as well as to restrict limitations on one’s honour, dignity and safety. To answer whether mechanisms for combating the crimes of hate speech in the digital environment are as effective as they are in a real-life situation, the author analyses the international (United Nations) and Council of Euro…

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.

The principle of non-refoulement vs national security in the post 9/11 era

2022

The terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, had largely raised the problem of terrorism in international society. Governments launched campaigns against terrorism, one of them being the War on Terror, which as a result, raised controversial issues. One of the challenges is the fundamental human rights protection, namely the protection granted under the principle of non-refoulement. In the post-9/11 era, states started to be more concerned about their national security, and thus of individuals who enter their territories or already reside there. The main research question of this thesis is to analyze the impact of 9/11 on striking balance between the principle of non-refoulement and national…

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…

The Contribution of the Inter-American Human Rights Bodies to Evolving International Law on Indigenous Rights over Lands and Natural Resources

2010

AbstractBecause of the special relationship with land that characterises indigenous groups, rights over land and natural resources are at the heart of indigenous claims under international law. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and the Inter-American Court have developed a copious jurisprudence on the subject matter and contributed to the establishment of certain minimum indigenous peoples' land rights under customary international law. This article analyses the Inter-American judicial discourse on land issues in the light of the current status of relevant international law and reflects upon the potential contribution of the former to the further development of the latter. It fo…

Problemi di giurisdizione nel contrasto al traffico di migranti via mare

2018

I trafficanti di esseri umani si avvalgono con sempre più insistenza di ben collaudati protocolli operativi. Questi ultimi consentono loro di sottrarsi alla giurisdizione penale italiana che non si radica qualora – in ossequio ai criteri di cui all’art. 6 c.p.ed in conformità alla Convenzione sull’Alto Mare– l’azione illecita avvenga in acque internazionali.Così, premesse alcune linee concettuali sui limiti spaziali alla efficacia della legge penale, l’indagine si sofferma sulla soluzione ermeneutica offerta dallaCassazione che, apparentemente in modo sbrigativo e per esigenze di effettività della risposta punitiva, ha fatto ricorso alla controversa figura dell’autore mediato per sanzionare condott…
