The Romanian Prezidentialized Consultative Referendum. Eating Apples from a Poisonous Tree? Personal and Teleological Interpretations
2019
Abstract Through this article, we propose an (original) analytical approach on the consultative referendum of May 2019 and a wider critical landscape regarding the consultative referendum institution by enforcing a teleological interpretation. In this sense, we propose three sections. We will start with a short overview on the use of the consultative referendum in the recent years of Romanian democracy. In the second section we will focus on the consultative referendum from 26 May, 2019. In the third section we will ask the Founding Fathers of the Constitution for an “opinion” regarding the possibilities and impossibilities of the consultative referendum.
INTIMIDAD DEL TRABAJADOR Y COMUNICACIONES ELECTRÓNICAS SEGÚN EL TRIBUNAL CONSTITUCIONAL
2016
El Tribunal Constitucional ha desempeñado un importante papel en la ponderación de los intereses enfrentados en supuestos en los que la utilización de tecnologías de la información y la comunicación en la empresa somete a examen los lindes entre el respeto a los derechos fundamentales de los trabajadores y las facultades legítimas de dirección, control y organización del empleador. El objeto de este artículo es analizar la doctrina del Tribunal Constitucional en el estudio de una de las manifestaciones concretas de la implantación generalizada de las tecnologías de la información y comunicación en la empresa, la utilización masiva de medios de comunicación electrónica como medio de comunic…
Il dilemma sicurezza vs. libertà al tempo del terrorismo internazionale
2017
In Constitutional States security and individual freedom are often in conflict; in these last years, international terrorism, with its unpredictable attacks, has suggested a new way to guarantee the security of a community, even through the use of force. First of all, this contribution analyzes the meaning and the content of «security» (as a value, a principle, a right) according to the most important authors; the second section considers some of the most recent measures to prevent and combat terrorism adopted by the EU and some European States; some important reactions of national judges to protect individual rights will also be taken into account.
Sindacato di legittimità costituzionale e legalità penale: il delicato equilibrio tra ruolo della Corte Costituzionale e discrezionalità del legislat…
2022
The paper intends to focus on the issue of the relationship between the judgment of constitutional legitimacy and the legislator's discretionary power in criminal matters. The Constitutional Court, especially in recent years, has carried out an overall rewriting of criminal law, through rulings that have affected some of the most significant institutions, introducing a substitute regulation for that deliberated by the legislator. To achieve this result, in the name of safeguarding fundamental rights, the Constitutional Court devised new techniques of adjudication, forcing patterns that had already been established in its jurisprudence or proposing new ways of adjudication in incidental proc…
Reati-presupposto e applicabilità della legge Severino: considerazioni a margine della sentenza della Corte costituzionale n. 35 del 2021
2021
The article examines the recent decision of the Italian Constitutional Court (n. 35/2021), concerning the so-called «Legge Severino» (that provides for the ineligibility of those sentenced to certain crimes). It tackles the still-resisting doubts on the constitutional legitimacy of the above-mentioned statute law. It considers the asserted lack of proportionality caused within its application after certain non-final rulings, because of the unlikelihood of their becoming final convictions.
Le leggi retroattive
2023
The monograph analyzes the limits of retroactive laws as determined by the Italian Constitutional Court. It questions whether these are operational limits and tries to emphasize how they are related to a taxonomy of legislative retroactivity accepted by the Court itself, which is still anchored in a formal approach to the issue of legislative retroactivity. An attempt is made, then, to enhance the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights, which push for the acceptance of a substantive approach to the issue.
Libertà personale e libertà di circolazione tra emergenza presente e incertezza futura
2023
The article deals with the notion of personal freedom as it is regulated by art. 13 of Italian Constitution, drawing the main differences with other fundamental rights, in particular with the freedom of movement (art. 16 Cost.). To this end, the paper explores the main doctrinal orientations and the most recent constitutional case-law on the subject; specifically, it proposes a reading of the motivational points of the judgment n. 127 of 2022 of the Italian Constitutional Court which resolved some touchy issues of constitutionality that arose during the pandemic emergency. In conclusion, the text questions, with a look at the near future, on the usability of traditional tools for the protec…
Parole e potere. Libertà d'espressione, hate speech e fake news
2017
indagine in tema di libertà di espressone che parte dalle origini del costituzionalismo contemporaneo e si muove poi lungo le coordinate relative alla giurisprudenza della Corte suprema statunitense e delle Corti europee, nel processo di transizione dell’esercizio di diritti e libertà fondamentali dal mondo degli atomi a quello dei bit. investigation on the subject of freedom of expression that starts from the origins of contemporary constitutionalism and then moves along the coordinates relating to the jurisprudence of the US Supreme Court and the European Courts, in the transition process of the exercise of fundamental rights and freedoms from the world of atoms to that of bits.
Leggi retroattive di contenimento della spesa pubblica e giusto processo (a margine della sentenza della Corte costituzionale n. 12 del 2018)
2018
The essay is about limits imposed to the legislature to enact retroactive statute law in “civil matters”. It tackles the dichotomy existing between the European Court of Human Rights’ and the Italian Constitutional Court’s jurisprudence on the theme. The first one has repeatedly ruled that the legislature is not prevented from regulating, through new retrospective provisions, rights derived from the laws in force. Nevertheless, the principle of the rule of law and the notion of a fair trial enshrined in Article 6 of the European Convention of Human Rights preclude, except for compelling public-interest reasons, interference by the legislature with the administration of justice designed to i…
