Some Remarks on the Relationship between Secession and General International Law in the Light of the ICJ’s Kosovo Advisory Opinion
2012
How is it possible to regard something that is not prohibited, as illegal? What are the resulting consequences of fact and law? This chapter suggests that a reasonable way to reconcile these two assertions is to admit that they refer to two profiles of the phenomenon in question that must be kept separate. Independence is not prohibited, but not all means to reach it are allowed under general international law. To render this concept, the author submits the idea of a normative "due process" seen as a set of rules giving no legal entitlement to statehood nor determining the creation of a State, but forming a normative course through which factual processes should be legally channelled. The c…

The European Union's Proposal for an International Investment Court: Significance, Innovations and Challenges Ahead
2016
International audience; Rampant discontent with the current system that governs the protection of international investment and the functioning of investment tribunals has led to a widespread view that there is an urgent need for reform. This is particularly pronounced in the context of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS). The European Union (EU) has responded to this need by proposing the creation of an international investment court. With its political weight, the EU confers unprecedented legitimacy on the critics of the current ISDS system and reveals investment dispute settlement in the light of public international law, breaking with its background in commercial litigation. The art…

Financiación de asociaciones: examen especial del ejercicio de actividades económicas
2019
The economic crisis has led to an increase in the funding needs of associations and at the same time, a decrease of its resources. In view of this situation, we will examine the different existing possibilities to obtain a stable financial framework and, in light of the limitations which other systems suffer from, we will conclude that implementation of economic activities will prove to be the most practical solution. However, this exercise faces the disapproval of the Administration which considers, in many cases, that said alternative leads to the loss of its declaration of public utility and subsequently the possibility of opting for the privileged tax regime inherent in Law 49/2002 on T…
DELL’UTRI E CONTRADA “GEMELLI DIVERSI”: È LA REVISIONE EUROPEA LO STRUMENTO DI OTTEMPERANZA ALLE SENTENZE CEDU
2017
La Cassazione nega l’origine giurisprudenziale del concorso esterno in associazione mafiosa e individua il rimedio della revisione europea per l’attuazione della decisione CEDU nei confronti di soggetti in posizioni simili a quella di Contrada. Il percorso offre l’occasione per riflettere sulla connotazione “oggettiva” della prevedibilità e sull’uguaglianza di trattamento dei condannati. Italian supreme Court denies that the origin of external participation in mafia-type criminal association lies in case law and envisages the European review as the tool to comply with ECtHR judgements in similar cases to that of Contrada. This jurisprudence provides a proper opportunity for an in-depth exam…

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.
