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…
La jurisprudencia del TEDH en materia de trata de seres humanos y la necesidad de regresar a las categorías jurídicas de esclavitud, servidumbre y tr…

espanolEste repaso a la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Europeo de derechos humanos en materia de trata en los ultimos quince anos senala con preocupacion el abandono de las categorias de esclavitud, servidumbre y trabajo forzado y la omnipresencia de la trata; una categoria que deja en situacion de desamparo a buena parte de sus victimas. El articulo se detiene en tres casos paradigmaticos: caso Siliadin v. Francia (2005); Rantsev v. Rusia y Chipre (2010); y S.M v. Croacia (2020). El analisis es critico con el concepto de trata que utiliza el TEDH en su jurisprudencia e insiste en la necesidad de regresar al derecho internacional de los derechos humanos abandonando la categoria de trata y su u…

Femminismo islamico e cosmopolitismo
2021
The chapter introduces Islamic feminism as a movement with a focus on three study cases from Egypt (Omaima Abou-Bakr), Iran (Ziba Mir-Hosseini), and the United States (Amina Wadud). In my section, I claim that besides being a social commitment, Islamic feminism is a form of moral cosmopolitanism, for it is a global and transnational movement. The advocacy of Islamic feminists is rooted in local contexts, at the same time they are involved in empowering international networks which allow them to meet activists from other domains, enforce their projects, share their experiences and work together for achieving their goals. The name “cosmopolitan Islamic feminist” is not an oxymoron, since it d…
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.
Is there a latin american child migration law? An analysis of the ‘Advisory Opinion n. 21 on the rights of child migrants’ rendered by the Inter-Amer…
2019
In 2014, in response to the request of the Southern Cone countries, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights issued an Advisory Opinion on the rights of migrant children in an attempt to emphasize the minimum guarantees that the countries of the region should grant to this category of migrant, especially considering their hypervulnerability when compared to adult migrants. Such request, made in the light of the growing migratory flow of unaccompanied minors in the Americas, has led the Court to point to a number of rights that should be particularly guaranteed, such as the right to seek and receive asylum, non-criminalization, non-detention, and non-return of minors, culminating in the desi…
Lautsi contra Italia: sobre la libertad religiosa y los deberes de neutralidad e imparcialidad del Estado.
2011
RESUMENRecientemente, la Gran Sala del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos ha resuelto que la presencia del crucifijo en las aulas italianas no supone una vulneración del derecho de los padres a asegurar la educación de sus hijos de conformidad con sus propias creencias religiosas y de los deberes de neutralidad e imparcialidad estatal impuestos por el derecho de libertad religiosa. Con ello revocaba una decisión en sentido contrario de una Sala de la Sección Segunda del propio tribunal. En el trabajo se repasan críticamente los fundamentos de la decisión definitiva, basada principalmente en el reconocimiento de un amplio margen de discrecionalidad en la actuación de las autoridades nacion…
Teacher training for Primary School defending diversity and inclusion. Memory of a case of teaching experience through Museari
2020
Entre las posibilidades de la educación artística conviene destacar las cuestiones de reivindicación social, especialmente la lucha por la equidad y el respeto hacia las minorías. Dentro de esta corriente socializadora se enmarcan los avances en materia de género y diversidad. La lucha por los derechos humanos se convierte así en un lugar común desde el cual implementar políticas culturales e innovaciones educativas. Estamos trabajando en esta línea desde hace tres décadas, conscientes de la necesidad de implicarnos en los avances que promueven la convivencia y el equilibrio social. Hace cinco años creamos el museo online Museari para desarrollar proyectos y mejorar la situación de los cole…
The taint of torture and the brazilian legal system
2019
In Brazil, the practice of torture intertwines deeply with its own history. The literature on the subject has had a greater intensification on its registers during the Dictatorial Regime (1964 to 1985). In spite of the Brazilian Constitution of 1988, Brazil only makes efforts to investigate the crimes of torture of this period to comply with the provisions of the United Nations in 2011. Within this scenario, the NationalTruth Commission (Law 12.528, of November 2011) was created with the purpose of clarifying the facts and circumstances of cases concerning human rights violations, as well as the Law on Access to Information (Law 12.527 of November 2011), which have regulated the constitutio…
