The Slave Coasts. Transnational Sexual Exploitation from Nigeria to Italy. From human trafficking to human rights
2019
This research intends to open a global debate on the current strong link between migration and prostitution on the basis of the reality observed in Palermo in the timespan 2015-2017. The main three elements emerging from the analysis are criminality, poverty and exploitation. As data suggests, Italy is the favorite destination of the Nigerian sexual exploitation market. In particular, Sicily plays a major role in the sexual exploitation ring involving Nigerian migrants, besides headquartering the Italian as well the Nigerian mafia. The agreement between Cosa Nostra (Sicilian Mafia) and the two organizations known as Black Axe and Eye (Nigerian mafia) represents the starting point for sexual…
WHEN RIGHTS EMBRACE RESPONSIBILITIES. BIOCULTURAL RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES
Introduzione. Le cliniche legali: una prospettiva filosofico-giuridica
2019
Does a clinical legal approach tell us something interesting about the nature and the concept of law? This is the main question that this focus will try to answer in affirmative terms. This is a question of legal epistemology that seems not to be so interesting for clinical jurists. Indeed, clinical jurists above all emphasize the importance of legal clinics from the viewpoint of education and social justice, but neglect the contribution that a clinical legal method can offer with respect to the knowledge of law. The papers included in this focus face, from a legal philosophical perspective, each in its own way, the phenomenon of legal clinic approach, which it is spreading in Italy since a…

Conflicts between Fundamental Rights: a Criticism to Luigi Ferrajoli
2009
El objeto de este breve texto es poner de relieve alguna duda acerca de un específico, aunque no marginal, aspecto de la compleja teoría de los derechos fundamentales construida por Ferrajoli: el problema del conflicto entre derechos fundamentales. En primer lugar, ofreceré un sumario bastante genérico sobre la presencia (por lo menos aparente, o potencial) de conflictos entre derechos fundamentales en el panorama constitucional contemporáneo. De ahí pasaré a ilustrar la estrategia elaborada por L. Ferrajoli para argumentar la tesis de la ausencia o, al menos, la extremadamente reducida y marginal presencia de los conflictos entre derechos fundamentales. Por último, mostraré algunas posible…
METHODOLOGICAL PROPOSAL TO EVALUATE THE HUMAN RIGHTS APPROACH IN PUBLIC POLICIES. A CASE STUDY OF OPEN GOVERNMENT PUBLIC POLICY IN MEXICO AND ITALY
2022
La investigación parte de la premisa de que para una mayor correspondencia de los procesos de política pública con los requerimientos de la sociedad contemporánea, éstos deben desarrollarse en un entorno policontextual y policéntrico. Es decir, en escenarios en los que se propicie su apertura a los diferentes contextos sociales y la intervención de diversos actores. En atención a esto, se optó por efectuar un estudio de tipo analítico-sintético, que involucrara las variables de enfoque de derechos humanos—relacionada con el policontextualismo y policentrismo de una acción— y la de política pública—relativa a la técnica/método conforme a la cual se desarrolla de forma sistemática la acción p…
El coste de una decisión que se no quiere tomar. Observaciones acerca de la introducción del delito de tortura en el ordenamiento italiano y un esboz…
2020
After a difficult and disputed drafting, on July 5, 2017, the Italian Parliament approved the Act n. 110/2017, which introduced the crime of torture in Italy. The lack of will of Italian Parliament in promulgating the law, even though Strasbourg Court urged in several occasion to reform the law in order to avoid cases of insufficient sanctions in case of violation of art. 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, can be explained through a redefinition of the model of legislative rationality: legislator might be considered rational when it enacts ambiguous legislative texts at the lowest electoral cost if it urged to do by the pressure of supranational jurisdictions. Finally, even thoug…
Rights, the Distribution of Wealth, and Happiness: Gaetano Filangieri’s Constitutional Ideal of Justice
2018
This article presents the ideal of distributive justice of Gaetano Filangieri whose realization is entrusted to the constitutional project elaborated in his work La Scienza della Legislazione. The article shows the main features which, in the outline of the Enlightenment, distinguish the core of the Filangerian proposal: the happiness of the nation needs an equitable distribution of wealth; the definition of the perfect model of justice is founded on an original utilitarian analysis which employs elements which anticipate the marginalism of the next century; to increase both the level of national welfare and the civic participation the laws have to improve the position of the least advantag…

La teodicea sociale di Frédéric Bastiat
2015
In this paper, I suggest that we apply the category of “social Theodicy” to Bastiat’s political and economic thought. By this category, it is possible to see how Bastiat’s reflection is aimed to justify the presence of “social pathologies” in society against socialist theorists’ intention to completely eliminate it by politics. Bastiat’s defense of free market and human rights is based upon the refusal of the anthropological presuppositions of socialist theories according to which the presence of evil in human history does not come from human being but from the structure of society. In Bastiat’s view, by refusing God and original sin, socialist programs subordinate individuals to society an…
