Legal Norms Against the Italian Mafia
2016
Legislation expressly aimed at combating mafia-type crimes in the Italian criminal system has long represented a specific and distinctive set of rules, comprising provisions of criminal law, procedural criminal law and penitentiary law, and including provisions of administrative and civil law of a more preventive kind. However, the law constitutes only one aspect of the complex Italian anti-mafia policy, which indeed results from the combination of several factors, such as human losses, political choices, legislative solutions, evolving case law and reactions of the civil society. In the international arena, among the multiple actors engaged at various levels in the fight against organised …
“Restorative Justice”, víctima y mediación. Tres conceptos en el nuevo paradigma de la entrópica Justicia penal” (‘Restorative Justice’, Victim and M…
2018
Spanish Abstract: La sociedad actual encuentra en los momentos en que vivimos un complejo, inquietante y paradojicamente contradictorio paisaje penal, en el que una imparable y abracadabrante produccion legislativa nos invade, en el que la esquizofrenia entre la proclamada ultima ratio del Derecho Penal y la expansion masiva del mismo se hace presente como eje central de las reformas legales, y en el que la tension entre la tutela y proteccion del ciudadano y una sobredimensionada busqueda de la “seguridad” –para la sociedad- encuentra su acomodo perfecto en sede penal. Los cambios, los bienes juridicos protegidos, el imparable aumento en calidad y cantidad de la criminalidad y la regresion…
1. Recognition And Social Ontology: An Introduction
2011
One of Hegel's big ideas is that creatures with a self-conception are the subjects of developmental processes that exhibit a distinctive structure. Call a creature 'essentially self-conscious' if what it is for itself, its self- conception, is an essential element of what it is in itself. How something that is essentially self-conscious appears to itself is part of what it really is. This chapter shows how the tripartite account of erotic awareness can be used in a natural way to build a notion of recognition that satisfies these twin philosophical constraints on the interpretation of Hegel's notion of self-consciousness in terms of recognition. Doing so it clarifies the nature of the trans…

The Perpetrator's mise-en-scene: Language, Body, and Memory in the Cambodian Genocide
2018
Rithy Panh's film S-21. The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine (2003) was the result of a three-year shooting period in the Khmer Rouge centre of torture where perpetrators and victims exchanged experiences and re-enacted scenes from the past under the gaze of the filmmaker's camera. Yet, a crucial testimony was missing in that puzzle: the voice of the prison's director, Kaing Guek Eav, comrade Duch. When the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) were finally established in Phnom Penh to judge the master criminals of Democratic Kampuchea, the first to be indicted was this desk criminal. The film Duch, Master of the Forges of Hell (R. Panh, 2011) deploys a new confrontation – an a…
The Convention For Choosing The Applicable Law – A Construction Specific For The Relationships Of Private Law With Foreign Element
2017
The legal relationships with foreign element generate the need to designate the law applicable in the conflict of laws. The national conflictual right and the European regulations govern the two complementary mechanisms for determining the law of the cause. Choosing the law by the parties gives expression to the subjective determination that, for some matters, is the rule, and for others, is the subsidiary solution. The recourse to the localization criteria of the applicable law signifies the objective determination of the law and contains variants that always lead to the identification of the lex causae. The method of concretizing the will of the parties is the choice convention of the app…
La corruzione tra privati in Italia: un bilancio critico
2017
Benché nell’ordinamento italiano abbia origini ancora relativamente recenti (risalendo al 2002 la sua introduzione), la corruzione tra privati ha da ultimo acquisito un nuovo volto con il d.lgs. n. 38/2017, che - per uniformarla allo standard europeo di incriminazione - ne amplia la portata incriminatrice sia rispetto alla platea di soggetti attivi, sia all’anticipazione della condotta illecita. Il passaggio dalla formulazione originaria, limitata all’ambito societario, all’attuale estensione a tutti gli enti privati, risponde alle esigenze di irrobustire l’azione di contrasto al fenomeno corruttivo, che continua a presentare una pervasività tale nella realtà italiana da richiedere un impeg…
