Introduzione. Le cliniche legali: una prospettiva filosofico-giuridica
2019
Does a clinical legal approach tell us something interesting about the nature and the concept of law? This is the main question that this focus will try to answer in affirmative terms. This is a question of legal epistemology that seems not to be so interesting for clinical jurists. Indeed, clinical jurists above all emphasize the importance of legal clinics from the viewpoint of education and social justice, but neglect the contribution that a clinical legal method can offer with respect to the knowledge of law. The papers included in this focus face, from a legal philosophical perspective, each in its own way, the phenomenon of legal clinic approach, which it is spreading in Italy since a…
METHODOLOGICAL PROPOSAL TO EVALUATE THE HUMAN RIGHTS APPROACH IN PUBLIC POLICIES. A CASE STUDY OF OPEN GOVERNMENT PUBLIC POLICY IN MEXICO AND ITALY
2022
La investigación parte de la premisa de que para una mayor correspondencia de los procesos de política pública con los requerimientos de la sociedad contemporánea, éstos deben desarrollarse en un entorno policontextual y policéntrico. Es decir, en escenarios en los que se propicie su apertura a los diferentes contextos sociales y la intervención de diversos actores. En atención a esto, se optó por efectuar un estudio de tipo analítico-sintético, que involucrara las variables de enfoque de derechos humanos—relacionada con el policontextualismo y policentrismo de una acción— y la de política pública—relativa a la técnica/método conforme a la cual se desarrolla de forma sistemática la acción p…
El coste de una decisión que se no quiere tomar. Observaciones acerca de la introducción del delito de tortura en el ordenamiento italiano y un esboz…
2020
After a difficult and disputed drafting, on July 5, 2017, the Italian Parliament approved the Act n. 110/2017, which introduced the crime of torture in Italy. The lack of will of Italian Parliament in promulgating the law, even though Strasbourg Court urged in several occasion to reform the law in order to avoid cases of insufficient sanctions in case of violation of art. 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, can be explained through a redefinition of the model of legislative rationality: legislator might be considered rational when it enacts ambiguous legislative texts at the lowest electoral cost if it urged to do by the pressure of supranational jurisdictions. Finally, even thoug…
La teodicea sociale di Frédéric Bastiat
2015
In this paper, I suggest that we apply the category of “social Theodicy” to Bastiat’s political and economic thought. By this category, it is possible to see how Bastiat’s reflection is aimed to justify the presence of “social pathologies” in society against socialist theorists’ intention to completely eliminate it by politics. Bastiat’s defense of free market and human rights is based upon the refusal of the anthropological presuppositions of socialist theories according to which the presence of evil in human history does not come from human being but from the structure of society. In Bastiat’s view, by refusing God and original sin, socialist programs subordinate individuals to society an…
When Rights Embrace Responsibilities
2018
The conservation of environment and the protection of human rights are two of the most compelling needs of our time. Unfortunately, they are not always easy to combine and too often result in mutual harm. This book analyses the idea of biocultural rights as a proposal for harmonizing the needs of environmental and human rights. These rights, considered as a basket of group rights, are those deemed necessary to protect the stewardship role that certain indigenous peoples and local communities have played towards the environment. With a view to understanding the value and merits, as well as the threats that biocultural rights entail, the book critically assesses their foundations, content, an…
Meanings and More…: Policy Brief of the ICCA Consortium no. 7
2019
In 2018 the Council of the ICCA Consortium decided to develop a lexicon of meaningful, and at times complex, concepts and terms frequently used in its work, policies and relations with its Members and Partners. A few specific papers had been commissioned and prepared before, but no attempt had been made to collate working definitions of frequent use, while many felt a need for such a reference compendium. This need was evident also because the Consortium has highlighted and adopted new ways of referring to phenomena that, historically, had not been conceptually analysed. First among these phenomena are the very ICCAs—territories of life at the heart of the Consortium’s work. This document i…
Confronting the Medusa with Athena’s Shield: Empowering Social Workers with a Transformative Role in the Migration Field
2022
Along with existing challenges, there are new ones leading social workers to become involved in increasingly international intervention processes. This has led to the development of the concept of International Social Work (Hugman, Moosa-Mitha & Moyo, 2010; Cox & Pawar, 2006; Dominelli, 2010), which provides a good opportunity to both depart from old patterns of administering aid (Healy 2008) and to embody a perception of itself as a transformative actor (Wintergerst 2017, p. 236). Assuming that it is true that the presence of different cultures acts as a catalyst in the processes of change in society, then this is equally valid for the development of this profession (Di Rosa, 2021)…
Clandestini a Lampedusa:isolati, segregati, invisibili
2006
Social construction processes of migrant, often clandestine migrant, among the inhabitants of Lampedusa, have recorded, in the last years, a gradual moving from a prevaling sympathetic optics combined with human solidarity forms – even if not without defensive processes and forms of racism and xenophobia – to more and more clear dynamics of exclusion, often joint with intolerant, cynical and indifferent attitudes. The social representation of the stranger isn’t, however, either unvarying or coherent. Infact, the collected interviews give evidence for continuous oscillations between the wish to understand – that increases when there is an interaction with the strangers – and the need to defe…
