Derechos de la viuda en la Valencia foral
2001
This article is about the rights of widows over their deceased husbands’ goods. We can not forget that, because of regulations regarding the separation of properties, these women are in a defenceless situation if they lack their own property, having to depend in most cases on their husbands’ testament. The severity of the system has to be alleviated with dowries, in order that when their husbands die women without inheritance could have at least a certain security. They are in a situation of economic vulnerability, especially grave when their husbands die without property. In this case, the widow’s rights are important in order to ameliorate the economic suffering they experience in their j…

La contribución de las refugiadas colombianas a la Agenda Global de Desarrollo a través de su empoderamiento en la acción colectiva para la defensa d…
2020
El propósito del presente estudio es ahondar sobre los aportes y los significados del activismo social y político en defensa de los derechos humanos que llevan a cabo las refugiadas colombianas asentadas en España y su estrecha vinculación con relevantes dos procesos que experimentan: de empoderamiento y generación de nuevas identidades. Considerando, además, que el drama del exilio es un elemento que atraviesa y fragmenta sus trayectorias vitales incrementando sustancialmente su vulnerabilidad, las refugiadas colombianas en España son un ejemplo de resiliencia que se fundamenta en la conformación de redes de activismo en defensa de los derechos humanos de las mujeres exiliadas. Para ello s…
Housing Issue and Right to Housing in Palermo
2021
This article explores the dichotomy between interests and values in the field of the right to housing for homeless people, focusing on the informal practices of reappropriation of spaces (properties owned by the Municipality of Palermo) in the case study of Palermo. The experience we are dealing with here must be addressed in a wider context of structural and latent conflicts concerning the city of Palermo, which are strictly related to the emergency housing issue. Indeed, Palermo’s housing issue is a quite complex and articulated theme, where the ineffectiveness of public policies and the increasing poverty conditions, aggravated by the economic crisis, seem to find in the various forms of…
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.

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…

Women’s rights and gender equality during the COVID-19 pandemic
2021
This paper contributes to the existing literature by investigating the scope of States’ obligations to realise women’s rights and ensure gender equality amid the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, the analysis focuses on three areas where the gendered consequences of emergency measures have been the most widespread and/or severe: the disproportionate impact of social distancing policies enacted to curb the spread of the virus on women’s right to work (Section 2); the increased rates of gender-based domestic violence triggered by stay-at-home mandates and other emergency measures restricting the movement of people (Section 3); and the uniquely adverse consequences of the diversion of health res…
