Penal Contextualism and Ideational Frameworks: A Guide for the Perplexed
2017
In my paper, I attempt a critical review of Nicola Lacey’s book In Search of Criminal Responsibility, by arguing, firstly, that she gives the categories of “character responsibility” and “capacity responsibility” an over-inclusive account, which results from her filling each of them with views that are not only disparate but also based, at least in part, on conflicting principles; and, secondly, that Lacey’s spelling out of various conceptions of “criminal responsibility” necessarily entails an underlying unitary definition of its subject matter, that is, the concept of “criminal responsibility,” which seems to conflict with her (version of) penal contextualism.
Excusiology. Tentativo di una traduzione penalistica dell’effetto Lucifero
2020
The article tries to figure out whether and to what extent the situationist approach by Philip Zimbardo, as it emerges in The Lucifer Effect, can be translated into penal terms. The notorious case of Abu Ghraib, as presented by Zimbardo in his book, is used as a test. The article is divided into three parts. The first part is devoted to reconstructing the features of the “Abu Ghraib situation” (AGs), which is described by Zimbardo as a total situation causing deindividuation (in authors) and dehumanization (of victims). In the second part, the AGs’ features are compared to those of moral coercion: while the latter is generally assumed to have a transformative effect on the moral value of th…
Principios que rigen la responsabilidad internacional penal por crímenes internacionales
2012
La responsabilidad internacional penal de los individuos se inscribe en el marco de la lucha contra la impunidad de los crímenes más graves y tiene por objeto la persecución y sanción de los criminales que se encuentran a la cabeza de la empresa criminal. Por lo tanto, responde a una serie de principios generales de derecho penal y de derecho internacional que han sido sometidos a una evolución constante por parte de la jurisprudencia internacional. El artículo que se presenta a continuación muestra tal evolución y el estado actual de la discusión en el marco del Estatuto de Roma.
INDIVIDUAL LIABILITY FOR BUSINESS INVOLVEMENT IN INTERNATIONAL CRIMES. THE CRUCIAL ISSUE OF (SO-CALLED) ‘NEUTRAL ACTS’
2021
The intertwining between individual and collective level in international crimes is tested on the possible co-responsibility of corporations and heads of businesses who carry out economic activities in various ways functional to the commission of such crimes by the military or political leaders of a group or a state. On the basis of the principle of self-responsibility, related to the individual criminal responsibility (art. 25 Rome Statute), the consequent assessment of the facts in question is easier for business activities directly instrumental to violent acts. It is more problematic, in- stead, for ordinary business activities, which therefore appear neutral and unrelated to the illicit…
