The finger of Beelzebub. The consecration of judicial review of constitutionality in Portugal in 1911
2022
Without entirely breaking with the political review of constitutionality established in the 19th century, Portugal, which became a republic after the October 1910 revolution, decided to enshrine judicial review of constitutionality in its 1911 Constitution. The choice of the American model of diffuse review was intended to break with the main guarantee offered in the days of 'granted constitutionalism', when the moderating power of the King acted as guarantor of the Constitution alongside the political chambers. This was the aim of the promoter of this legal revolution, the law professor Afonso Costa, a strong man of the First Republic, who was able to convert his initially hostile republic…
The Ivorian Constitutional Council and the supremacy of the Constitution. : study in light of his decisions and opinions
2018
Ivorian constitutional justice, in its current form, is the fruit of the democratization movement launched on the continent from the 1990s. But if elsewhere the exercise of constitutional review immediately became an essential instrument in the effectiveness of the Constitution and the advent of the rule of law, in Côte d'Ivoire, the guarantee of the the Constitution’s supremacy has evolved continuously at an oscillatory rhythm. The constitutionality check is first expressed through a strategy of small steps. The constitutional judge's choice of a narrow interpretation of his attributions produces a daring case law geared towards legitimizing the executive power and its governance. Subseque…

Human Rights in Romanian Courts: A European Perspective?
2016
The perception and application of the European Convention on Human Rights by various national jurisdictions depends fundamentally on the way in which the Convention has been introduced into national law, as well as, in some countries, by how constitutional jurisdictions shaped this relationship. The article examines the reception of the Convention by a few European states, with a special regard on the case of Romania. Romanian courts, including the Constitutional Court and the supreme court, had a hesitant approach of the principle established by 1991 Constitution of the priority of international law of human rights over domestic law. In the context of the diversity of sources of the Europe…
The Will to Order: In Conversation with Mariano Croce and Marco Goldoni on Costantino Mortati’s Account of the Legal Order and the Material Constitut…
2021
In this article, taking my cue from the insightful analyses contained in the book The Legacy of Pluralism, by Mariano Croce and Marco Goldoni, I reconstruct in outline Costantino Mortati’s conceptions of the law as a legal order and of the material constitution. I focus on the problems pointed out by Croce and Goldoni: the emergence of legal normativity, the problem of radical pluralism, and the role of jurists vis-à-vis politics. In sections II, III, and IV, I describe the general framework that, however much detailed and adjusted over time, Mortati adamantly maintained from his earlier works in the 1930s to his last ones in the mid-1970s. In section V, I describe the significant shifts th…
Costituzionalismo ed esperienze costituzionali in Iran
2015
Il lavoro tende ad esaminare se e come il pensiero filosofico di tradizione sciita abbia influenzato il sistema costituzionale iraniano. Partendo, quindi, dall’esperienza costituzionale del 1906-1907 fino alla revisione costituzionale del 1989 della vigente Costituzione, si è cercato di delineare come si sia evoluta la forma di governo, il diverso ruolo che il diritto religioso ha assunto all’interno dell’ordinamento iraniano e quali limiti siano stati previsti all’azione del governo. The purpose of this study is to analyse to what extent the Shiite jurisprudence has influenced the Iranian constitutional system. This study will provide an outline of the evolution of the form of government f…
