Città, diritti e pratiche di mutualismo: riflessioni a partire dalle istanze comunitarie ai tempi della pandemia
2022
During the pandemic crisis, the “community” practices of mutualism have characterized the urban space by operating in a subsidiary, if not a substitute, manner with respect to public institutions. Their actions have been political in the sense in which Hannah Arendt defined this concept. Starting from a reflection on vulnerabilities, taking a case study as the object, and dialoguing with Orsetta Giolo’s essay, The rights against the city. Urban space, subjectivity and the public sphere, published in 2021, the potential and limits of these practices will be analyzed, along with their relationship with established power, with respect to the renewed tension between rights and territoriality, w…
Sulla rilevanza giuridica e costituzionale dell’identità religiosa
2015
The essay reviews the issue of the legal relevance of religious identity, and of its possible scope, from the standpoint of the values that underpin contemporary constitutional States (equality, liberty, dignity, secularism). The essay will try to show that, in the light of the aforementioned values, religious identity has in fact legal and constitutional relevance. This does not imply, however, that legal claims based on religious identity should receive absolute legal protection - rather, they are bound to be consistently balanced against other constitutionally relevant rights and interests.
Multiculturalismo liberale, neutralità e Rule of Law
2011
Most contemporary liberal theories of justice agree that principles of justice should be neutral between citizens’ conceptions of the good life. In this essay, I assume that the liberal doctrine of state neutrality can somehow be defended against its critics. y first aim is to show that a certain connection holds between liberal neutrality, suitably understood, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the Rule of Law. By the ‘Rule of Law’ I mean, as has now become usual among legal theorists, a set of formal and institutional features the law may possess in varying degrees. These features define an ideal, which laws have traditionally been expected to live up to. It is, under many respects,…
Liberal Multiculturalism, neutrality and the Rule of Law

Disobbedienza civile o lotta per il diritto? Un bilancio di cinque anni di criminalizzazione del soccorso in mare
2022
this contribution traces the main stages of the process of criminalization of non-governmental organizations' search and rescue activities in the Central Mediterranea Sea, to light the paradoxes and the shadows. The theoretical framework is that of the civil disobedience and its counterpart, the obligation to obey the law. This perspective, emblematic for investigating complexity, limits and potential of the law itself, has been used because it can bring out the specificity of the positions assumed by the main players involved in the events, as well as the legal and socio-cultural consequences of their actions, by interrogating the dimensions of legality and justice.
Marxismo, giustizia sociale e garanzie dello Stato di diritto
2020
In the last decades the interest of philosophers and political scientists in Marx’s thinking is growing to recover those aspects of his theory that are believed to be still valid: above all, the aspiration to social justice. In this perspective, it is important to reflect on the relationship between the Marxian conception of the State and the law, and the totali- tarian State that arose after the Bolshevik revolution in Russia. Marx’s thesis, rejecting the Rule of Law and human rights as functional to the domination of the capitalist class, legitimised an instrumental conception of law and the model of political centralisation, which was provided for in the Leninist programme and then imple…
Права людини, мир та концепція права. Історія незавершеної юридичної революції
2019
The article examines some central questions regarding the evolution of law in the light of the presence of the practice of protecting human rights, in the domestic and in the international domains. It identifies a shift in the same practice of human rights, visible in the coming back of war as a legitimate mean, and asserts that that shift is a defective reading of the same practice of human rights, connected to the resistance of law to the challenge represented by rights.
Meccanismi di protezione e soggettività dei diritti, tra nazionalismo e cosmopolitismo
2007
Il contributo esamina l’accusa ai diritti umani come diritti di carta (non giustiziabili, non effettivi) a partire dalla loro natura di principi giuridici all’interno di una pratica internazionale. I meccanismi di protezione allora abbracciano una pluralità di strumenti, domestici e internazionali, sia convenzionali, sia giurisdizionali, di cui si dà conto in modo specifico.
Proporzionalità, diritti, democrazia
2014
Il principio di proporzionalità è ormai uno dei concetti centrali del costituzionalismo globale, di fatto una parte essenziale della grammatica di una nuova lingua franca che fa dialogare e interagire attori giuridici sostanzialmente in tutto il mondo, agevolando la circolazione di modelli giuridici e di standard di argomentazione. In questo saggio intendo discutere due questioni attinenti al profilo della legittimità dell’utilizzazione del test di proporzionalità in sede giudiziaria. La prima questione riguarda la compatibilità tra l’utilizzo sempre più diffuso del test di proporzionalità e l’intensità della tutela che ci aspettiamo debbano ricevere i diritti fondamentali. La seconda quest…
Diritti fondamentali e principio di proporzionalità
2014
the paper assesses the widespread use of the test of proportionality in fundamental rights adjudication. While constitutional and human rights courts all over the world appear to be consistently engaged in deploying the test of proportionality in order to assess the permissibility of a given rights limitation, this approach is under severe criticism insofar as it is considered an attack to the very idea of fundamental rights. The paper will discuss this criticism of the use of proportionality, and will provide a defense of its use by courts in light of some basic features of the contemporary discourse of fundamental rights.
