Gender training for the judiciary in Argentina
2014
AbstractIn this paper I describe the two major Argentine experiences of gender training for the judiciary against the background of two relevant trends, women's entry in considerable numbers into the judiciary and the process of expansion of women's rights initiated after the restoration of democracy. The gap between the passing of progressive legislation and its lack of enforcement speaks of a tradition of women's subordination that is much engrained in our society and in its legal system. In spite of the existence of progressive egalitarian legislation stereotyped thinking prevails to prevent progressive legal practices. This constitutes a strong argument for gender training of the judici…
Celebrating Multiculturalism: European Multicultural Media Initiatives as Anti-Racist Practices
2017
Looking back on 20 years of European media policy, which reflects issues of ethnic minorities and immigrants there are significant developments in both policy and implementation. The recent European initiatives to increase cultural diversity in the media at a high institutional level stress that ethnic minorities and new immigrants should get access to both the screen and the newsroom. The increased policies and activity in this domain are a result of the perceived threat of the non-integration of the minority population in Europe. Signs of “lack of social cohesion” are interpreted from key events that have been heavily aired in the media: disturbances in French suburbs, the Danish cartoon …
Franco Salvo maestro di democrazia nella Sicilia del secondo dopoguerra
2018
Franco Salvo (1916-1983), professore di Storia e Filosofia presso il liceo classico Umberto I di Palermo fin dall’immediato dopoguerra, fu un «maestro di laicità» impegnato a formare i giovani ai valori della democrazia. Studioso appassionato di filosofia morale e storico, visse l’insegnamento come una missione laica orientata a formare le nuove generazioni alla libertà, alla responsabilità e ai principi fondanti della Costituzione. Durante le sue lezioni dava infatti ampio spazio all’educazione civica che insegnava entro una prospettiva storica, che considerava la più adeguata ad affrontare il tema dei diritti dell’uomo. Il suo metodo educativo era orientato a sviluppare una mentalità crit…
Mobility and Unspoken Citizens’ Rights in EU-Documents
2015
The formulation of Union citizenship has concentrated on rights since the 1970s. In the Maastricht and subsequent EU treaties, Union citizenship is defined through rights. Against this background, discussion on rights in the EU documents on citizenship analysed in this article is surprisingly scarce. The research material consists of 15 documents produced by EU institutions in 2003–2007 as part of three programmes on citizenship. In the documents, the discussion on rights focuses on mobility instead of other aspects of rights. Electoral rights and fundamental rights are discussed a little, but in general, the minuscule discussion on rights is dominated by discussions on freedom of mobility,…
M.N. e altri c. Belgio: qualche osservazione dissenziente
2021
In this commentary to the M.N. v. Belgium case, the authors criticize the three fundamental arguments on which the decision of the European Court of Human Rights is founded: the approach based on ‘originalism’, the approach based on the Courts’ precedents, and the approach based on consequentialism. As far as consequentialism is concerned, the authors approve the use of non strictly legal arguments in the Court’s reasoning, convinced as they are that human rights courts, more than any other judge, are not la bouche de la loi, but hold political power. We criticize the Court's choice to give space to only one of the (possible) political consequences of its decision, completely disregarding a…

El papel de la sensación de inacabado y las experiencias "Not Just Right" en el trastorno obsesivo compulsivo. Una aproximación experimental al estud…
2017
La investigación y la práctica clínica han demostrado que el Trastorno Obsesivo-Compulsivo (TOC) es una condición psicopatológica compleja y heterogénea desde el punto de vista etiológico y sintomatológico. Desde hace décadas, un importante cuerpo de investigaciones ha centrado sus esfuerzos en intentar determinar las variables involucradas en el inicio y mantenimiento de la sintomatología obsesivo-compulsiva. La mayoría de estos estudios se han llevado a cabo siguiendo la propuesta de los modelos teóricos cognitivo-conductuales, según los cuales el motivador subyacente a la sintomatología obsesivo-compulsiva es la evitación del daño o miedo a las consecuencias temidas. Concretamente, una g…
L’ammissibilità ratione personae dei ricorsi alla Corte europea di individui estremamente vulnerabili: uguaglianza sostanziale e tutela del diritto d…
2021
The legal framework governing proceedings before the ECtHR does not deal with cases in which victims of human rights violations are not de jure and/or de facto capable of lodging applications with the Court. In the effort of overcoming such a procedural lacuna, the Court has established a test that, taking into consideration the extreme vulnerability of the victims (such as minors and persons with disabilities) and the seriousness of the alleged violations, allows NGOs to apply as their ‘de facto representatives’, provided that some other conditions are fulfilled. The Court’s approach, however, has not been always consistent and does not guarantee predictability and legal certainty. Moreove…
