2013
AdmInIstratIve Detention of Irregular Foreigners in Italy and in the European Union and the Fundamental Human Right to Personal Freedom and Proper Defense. Foreigners are particularly subject to the restriction of personal freedom. A great number of countries resort to the detention of irregular migrants and asylum seekers by reason of the violation of immigration laws, including irregularly crossing the State border, using false document, non-possession of identification documents, staying after the permit of stay has expired, etc.. In Italy and in other member States of the European Union we can notice an ordinary use of administrative detention of foreigners (without authorization to ent…
Il Patto sulle migrazioni e l’asilo della Commissione europea del 23 settembre 2020 e il dovere di soccorso in mare
2021
The pact on asylum and migration, presented by the European Commission on 23 September 2020, addresses some of the problems related to search and rescue operations and the following disembarkations. The present paper is skeptical about the real capacity of the pact to reduce the existing tensions among Member States in this field; it also underlines the ambiguities of the pact concerning Member States’ cooperation with NGOs engaged in SAR activities
Il ruolo del Consiglio europeo nella Brexit
2019
Il Consiglio europeo ha svolto un ruolo di primo piano nella Brexit. L’articolo cerca di spiegare che questo ruolo è stato più ampio rispetto a quello espressamente conferito dall’art. 50 TUE per affrontare poi due problemi: nello svolgere questo ruolo il Consi- glio europeo ha agito solo come istituzione dell’Unione europea o anche come vertice di capi Stato? E ha rispettato il principio dell’equilibrio istituzionale? The European Council has been playing a leading role in Brexit procedure. This article aims at showing how this role does not simply reflect the powers explicitly assigned to the European Council under Article 50 TEU. Two more questions are addressed: In performing its role h…
L'identità costituzionale degli Stati membri dell'Unione europea nella recente giurisprudenza della Corte di giustizia
2015
Negli ultimi anni, la Corte di giustizia dell’Unione europea si è pronunciata sul significato e sulle funzioni della clausola d’identità costituzionale degli Stati membri, contenuta nell’art. 4, par. 2, TUE. L’articolo mostra come, in questa giurisprudenza, la funzione della clausola non sia quella di superare l’idea del primato assoluto del diritto dell’Unione, ma di prevenire conflitti tra il diritto dell’Unione e le costituzioni degli Stati membri. In particolare, il rispetto dell’identità costituzionale è stato utilizzato ai tre scopi seguenti: a) per giustificare restrizioni alle libertà di movimento; b) per proteggere il diritto degli Stati membri di scegliere forme e mezzi nell’attua…
Vulnerability to Forced Labour and Trafficking: The case of Romanian women in the agricultural sector in Sicily
2015
This paper focuses on labour and sexual exploitation faced by Romanian female workers employed in the agricultural sector in Ragusa, Sicily, Italy. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in 2013 and 2014 with Romanian female farm workers in Ragusa, the paper identifies factors that contribute towards their vulnerability to exploitation. By paying specific attention to the experiences of women who are mothers with dependent children, we look at structural factors that increase their vulnerability and consider how this vulnerability ‘forces’ women into situations whereby they effectively accept and/or submit to abuse. We also highlight how European Union (EU) citizenship does not automatically protec…
The Family’s Role in the Twilight of Political Community
2021
The social history of modernity shows a progressive and accelerated decline of the political importance of the family. At the same time Politics also finds it more and more difficult to recognize itself as a community of life. We have to ask ourselves whether between the politica! irrelevance of the family and the loss of the community dimension of Politics there is a causa! connection, or at least a significant correlation.
Legal clinics in Europe: for a commitment of higher education in social justice
2016
This publication (formally an article, de facto a book) is a wide inquiry on legal clinical education in Europe. It was sponsored by and presented in European Parliament (ARDI intergroup). In the first chapter over a hundred clinical legal programs, spread in all the Union territories, are fully monitored and examined. The second chapter presents a qualitative analysis through the interviews with some protagonists of the “movement” of legal clinical education. In fact, since the comprehensive vision of this phenomenon, we can conclude that it is a “movement” because we are not simply in the presence of a proliferation of isolated experience. There is an emergence of a new trend in academia …
The Central Mediterranean Route: Law Enforcement Without the Rule of Law
2017
It could be successfully argued that there is a general obligation to save lives in danger at sea and that this obligation is moral in nature. Such reasoning, however, is not the specific aim of this paper. Instead, this paper focuses on the legal obligations of the European Union (EU), its Member States, other neighbouring countries, and the EU Border and Coast Guard, towards migrants attempting the risky journey to Europe, in order to find out whether there are any legal steps that can be taken in order to help eliminate deaths in the Mediterranean. The article focuses on the main International Conventions on maritime law, international human rights law, international asylum law, the rele…
