2016
Il diritto alla buona amministrazione costituisce uno dei diritti fondamentali della persona, riconosciuto per la prima volta dall’articolo 41 della Carta dei diritti fondamentali dell’Unione europea, diventata vincolante e con lo stesso valore giuridico dei Trattati europei in seguito all’entrata in vigore nel 2009 del Trattato di Lisbona.

Challenges in EU External Climate Change Policy-Making in the Early Post-Lisbon Era: The UNFCCC Copenhagen Negotiations
2011
The 15th United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties (COP) meeting held in Copenhagen from 7 to 18 December 2009, which took place one week after the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon on 1 December 2009, has brought about rather disappointing outcomes from the perspective of the European Union (EU), which had previously displayed substantial leadership within the UN climate regime.

Such criticisms stem both from the overall picture of the international and european legal standards concerning hate speech (par. 2) and from the relevant case law of the European Court of Human rights (paras. 3 and 4).
