Recent Anti-Mafia Strategies: The Italian Experience
2008
We often tend to think of criminal policies as essentially repressive. At first sight this assumption seems to apply straightforwardly in the case of policies against organized crime, especially those targeted at mafia type organizations. However, experience shows that these criminal organizations can be fought successfully also by means of measures which are not in themselves repressive, albeit they aim to favour repression in the last resort. Together with direct repressive measures, in the Italian case we indeed register a wide variety of other policies addressing civil society and public administrations, and only indirectly the mafia. Indirect strategies, therefore, are aimed at the rei…
The Sirocco's chamber of Micciulla manor in Palermo : a bioclimatic archetype symbol of legality and civil redemption
2019
La Camera dello scirocco di fondo Micciulla è uno degli oltre trenta esemplari di un antesignano sistema di raffrescamento passivo ipogeo, diffusosi a Palermo tra il XVII e il XVIII secolo. Grotte artificiali scavate al di sotto o in prossimità delle dimore palermitane presso le quali i ricchi signori si rifugiavano per sfuggire alle elevate temperature estive, rese spesso insopportabili dal caldo vento africano di Scirocco. Tra tutte, la Camera dello Scirocco di fondo Micciulla è forse la più nota non solo per la sua particolare e unica struttura “a cielo aperto”, ma anche e soprattutto per i trascorsi storici ad essa legati. Il presente contributo intende ripercorrere le fasi più signific…
Lon Fuller’s Philosophical Affiliation: Prescriptive Legal Positivism (Neither Natural Law Theory nor Principialism)
2022
En este trabajo expondré el que considero el sentido apropiado de las tesis de Fuller sobre la moral interna del derecho. Tras argumentar que la tesis de la moral interna no dice mucho sobre la conexión entre el derecho y la moral en el sentido en que normalmente se discute sobre esta cuestión en los debates entre los partidarios del positivismo jurídico y sus críticos, explicaré en qué sentido el derecho es, para Fuller, un fenómeno moral. Esto me permitirá pronunciarme sobre la cuestionada filiación iusfilosófica del autor: sostendré que la filosofía del derecho de Fuller está en las antípodas de una concepción iusnaturalista o de una concepción principialista no-positivista del derecho y…
Self-Defence Against Non-State Actors: Impulses from the Max Planck Trialogues on the Law of Peace and War
2017
The legality of self-defence against non-state actors is currently one of the most contested issues of the jus contra bellum. How should we interpret state practice – has it already given rise, in law, to a broader concept of self-defence, or is the traditional state centred view still good law? Under which specific requirements should self-defence against non-state actors, if at all, be regarded as lawful and how can an abuse of an extended right to self-defence be prevented? The “Impulses from the Max Planck Trialogues on the Law of Peace and War” consist of short essays dealing with these questions. The essays are grouped in four categories: 1) restrictivist positions upholding a state-c…
Le renouvellement du contrôle juridictionnel de l’administration au moyen du recours pour excès de pouvoir
2017
The role of the administrative judge (the excess of power) has evolved due to the implementation of the various texts adopted recently as well as the developments in the case-law in recent years. In many areas, its role now goes beyond the mere confrontation of an administrative act with the rule of law. At the heart of the annulment decision is a statement and an assessment of the facts, apart from the interpretation of the law, which were usually separated by the principle of separation between the administration and its judge.Some jurisprudence which has become very classical, as well as others more recent, can be considered as characteristic manifestations of this new tendency of the ju…
