La jurisprudencia del TEDH en materia de trata de seres humanos y la necesidad de regresar a las categorías jurídicas de esclavitud, servidumbre y tr…
2020
espanolEste repaso a la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Europeo de derechos humanos en materia de trata en los ultimos quince anos senala con preocupacion el abandono de las categorias de esclavitud, servidumbre y trabajo forzado y la omnipresencia de la trata; una categoria que deja en situacion de desamparo a buena parte de sus victimas. El articulo se detiene en tres casos paradigmaticos: caso Siliadin v. Francia (2005); Rantsev v. Rusia y Chipre (2010); y S.M v. Croacia (2020). El analisis es critico con el concepto de trata que utiliza el TEDH en su jurisprudencia e insiste en la necesidad de regresar al derecho internacional de los derechos humanos abandonando la categoria de trata y su u…

Introduzione. Quel che accade nel Mediterraneo centrale come emblema del lato oscuro del diritto
2021
Il contributo introduce lo special Issue "Il lato oscuro del diritto nella criminalizzazione del soccorso in mare" sottolineando come le ricostruzioni e le riflessioni poste in essere in questa raccolta di contributi possano almeno contribuire a descrivere le dinamiche e a porre in evidenza i pericoli intrinseci nello spazio di arbitrio che il lato oscuro del diritto schiude. Argomenta inoltre perché ciò sia possibile proprio a partire dal contesto tanto specifico quanto urgente preso in considerazione, poiché nel Mediterraneo centrale la lotta per il diritto, spesso giocata proprio a partire dai chiaroscuri delle norme, si traduce ogni giorno in vite perdute o vite salvate.
Il Mare di mezzo: storie di naviganti, di lotta per il diritto e di luci nel buio della frontiera
2022
This paper analyses the way in which, and the reasons why, the Mediterranean Sea, from being a limes between lands, has become the frontier we know today: the space of an emblematic struggle for law and rights, which contrasts the policies of governments with the forced movements of people in migration and with civil society organizations that try to promote and protect fundamental rights. In this context, the direct experience of some search and rescue missions in the Mediterranean Sea has been used to highlight the extent of this conflict with respect to the violation of the national and domestic legal frameworks carried out by the European states, Italy in the lead, also through the invo…
Human Rights and the Inclusive Society
2012
Chapter 3 approaches disability as a reality that may impede the universality of human rights given that the rights of the group in question are “systematically violated”. To achieve an inclusive society in which everyone’s rights are implement, it is necessary to start with an adequate definition of the problem, referring to these individuals as “people with different capacities”, recognizing the place this difference has in society, and the role the State plays in the integration of this difference. To do this, their social visibility needs to be promoted as well as their accessibility to all spheres of social life, guaranteeing their participation in the labour and political fields, over…
Rights with limits: biocultural rights - between self-determination and conservation of the environment
2015
Kabir Bavikatte has recently argued that a new 'basket' of group rights is emerging from the interpretation of multilateral environmental agreements, domestic law and case law, and from shifts in the development discourse and the struggles of communities. He refers to this new set of rights as 'biocultural rights' and defines them as being all the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities required to secure their stewardship role over their lands and waters. Biocultural rights build on two foundations: the self-determination and cultural diversity of indigenous peoples and local communities, and the conservation of the environment. This article suggests that the second foundation i…
