Informal Learning for Citizenship Building in Shared Struggles for Right: Cases of Political Solidarity Between Colombian and Spanish Organisations
2015
[EN]: Dominant discourses and practices in international cooperation have been characterised by depoliticisation and unequal power relationships. However, a number of more transformative experiences of cooperation also exist, where joint work between Northern and Southern social organisations is linked with a more political perspective. These kinds of experiences can be considered processes of informal learning in social action: through shared actions, strategies and frameworks and through interaction between organisations, institutions and the grassroots, informal and multidimensional learning processes occur in the people and organisations engaged.

La tutela dell'ambiente come diritto della persona
2021
In this essay the author proposes a reconstruction of the environment as a right of the person and of environmental damage as an existential damage aimed at filling that void of protection in environmental matters denounced by the internal and European courts. In particular, in the Italian legal system, the absence of remedies that allow the individual affected person to obtain compensation protection reveals, on the basis of current legislation, within the Italian legal system, a dangerous vacuum of protection. According to the author, the legitimacy of the injured party could be derived from a parallel reconstruction of the environmental damage that, regardless of the legislative configur…

2018
A long road was necessary for economic and social rights to be internationally recognized. In fact, it was only after the Second World War that the protection of human rights, including economic and social rights, became one of the aims of the United Nations. Despite that, this legal protection was by no means made without controversies, especially when it comes to economic and social rights. The fact that most of the articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights refer to civil and political rights corroborates these difficulties. Only articles 22 through 27 protected economic and social rights. The objective of this article is to shed some light into this process, as the Universal …
