Abortion in Latin America. More Than Criminalization, Not Yet Women’s Constitutional Right
2018
Latin America abortion law is often categorized as seriously restricted. And this is so, partially. Abortion is criminalized if it does not fit in the legal indications (e.g. health risk, rape) contemplated. These indications have not only been one of the most innovative areas to expand access to legal abortion in the region in the last years – including rulings of high courts – but they also question the typical classification of Latin America as an extremely legal constrained setting. In fact, if we look closely at the world legal map, we find that only two countries have absolutely ruled out the use of criminal law to deal with voluntary abortion (Canada and few jurisdictions in Australi…

Autonomie e controlli della Corte dei conti nel quadro dei principi costituzionali e dei vincoli sovranazionali in materia economico-finanziaria
2022
Una riflessione dei controlli sulle autonomie territoriali intestati alla Corte dei conti non può prescindere dal loro inquadramento costituzionale. L’A. prospetta una ricostruzione del controllo come espressione di una funzione neutra e imparziale che deve riposare su precisi parametri costituzionali che ne legittimano l’adozione e di cui va resa una stretta interpretazione: il controllo sulle Autonomie territoriali deve così essere necessariamente una attività tale da avvicinarla a quella giurisdizionale piuttosto che amministrativa. È in tale chiave che deve essere inteso il rapporto fra ausiliarietà di cui all’art. 100 Cost. e controlli sui bilanci ed i rendiconti. L’evoluzione del quad…
Defining “National Treasures” in the European Union. Is the Sky Really the Limit?
2019
The main objective of this article is to analyse the scope of EU Member States’ right to determine national treasures for the purpose of Directive 2014/60/EU on the return of cultural objects. While investigating the issue at the EU, human rights, and constitutional levels, the authors argue that the right to define what constitutes national treasures is not an absolute right. The definition of this particular category of cultural objects cannot be used to circumvent the rules on the free movement of goods and to hamper this freedom in an unjustifiable and arbitrary manner. On the human rights and constitutional levels, Member States’ right cannot interfere with the right to enjoy one’s pos…
The taint of torture and the brazilian legal system
2019
In Brazil, the practice of torture intertwines deeply with its own history. The literature on the subject has had a greater intensification on its registers during the Dictatorial Regime (1964 to 1985). In spite of the Brazilian Constitution of 1988, Brazil only makes efforts to investigate the crimes of torture of this period to comply with the provisions of the United Nations in 2011. Within this scenario, the NationalTruth Commission (Law 12.528, of November 2011) was created with the purpose of clarifying the facts and circumstances of cases concerning human rights violations, as well as the Law on Access to Information (Law 12.527 of November 2011), which have regulated the constitutio…

Las prerrogativas de estatus y el libre ejercicio de la actividad parlamentaria en la experiencia italiana: historia reciente de una búsqueda incesan…
2021
Las prerrogativas parlamentarias son institutos necesarios para asegurar el equilibrio entre los poderes constitucionales, aunque no pueden ser entregados a la «total y exclusiva» decisión parlamentaria ni a la jurisdicción ordinaria porque, de lo contrario, podrían producir abusos y fuertes interferencias en el ejercicio de las atribuciones que corresponden al Parlamento o al poder judicial. En la experiencia italiana, la Corte Constitucional ha asumido un papel «arbitral» en los conflictos relacionados con las prerrogativas parlamentarias (el juicio por conflicto de atribuciones entre poderes del Estado y el juicio de legitimidad constitucional de las leyes en vía incidental). Sin embargo…
