From Ethnic Law to Town Law: The Customs of the Kingdom of Sicily from the Twelfth to the Fifteenth Century
2016
The history of Sicily, the largest island of the Mediterranean, is notably distinct from the history of the rest of Italy. It is because of this distinctiveness that Sicily can serve as a paradigmatic example of a pluralist legal system, one with a mix of both personal-law and territorial-law rules. In the time period that I examine in this essay, customary law took several different forms. What legislation, private records, and judicial decisions all call »custom« plays three different roles: law of specific ethnic groups, rights and customary practices concerning real property, and the law of towns.
Democrazia deliberativa e Convenzione europea dei diritti umani
2010
Deliberative democracy and the European Convention on Human Rights Theories of deliberative democracy have rapidly become very popular amongst political scientists. The central argument of these theories is that democratic legitimacy of lawmaking does not lie (or does not only lie) in the elected character of Parliaments but in public delib- eration processes. Decisions have to be justified by reasons and reasons have to be publicly debated. Legitimacy also depends on the opportunity for citizens to participate effectively in public debates. In this paper I argue that the European Court of Human Rights can be a key player in promoting a democracy based on public deliberation and that in the…
The judicial guarantee of the right to health: between the indirect protection and the specific justiciability
2019
El objetivo principal de este trabajo es el estudio de los mecanismos de garantía judicial del derecho a la salud. Se estudian, de un lado, aquellos que protegen este derecho a través de la vía de la interrelación con otros derechos, como es el caso del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos o del sistema interamericano. De otro lado, se tratan los sistemas que reconocen una justiciabilidad autónoma al derecho a la salud, destacando la litigación en países como Brasil o Colombia, y las críticas que ello ha recibido. Ante estas reservas, como las inequidades encontradas en el acceso a los tribunales y la excesiva intervención judicial, como objetivo último se plantean algunas respuestas, entre…
OSSERVAZIONI COMPARATISTICHE SULLA JUDICIAL LIABILITY IN ALCUNI ORDINAMENTI EUROPEI
2015
In recent years, the influence of European and international laws has led to an ever-increasing pressure against the immunization and protection from liability that the judiciary has so far enjoyed. Judges liability is therefore an expression of a fundamental and world-wide change in judicial structures. Exemplary in this context is the jurisprudence of the ECJ, affirming that the EU principle of State liability can also be applied to judicial wrongs; furthermore, the European Commission has, in the past, promulgated the notion that the infringement procedure may also pertain to acts of the judiciary. The connection between public international law and liability of the judiciary becomes eve…
JUDICIAL LIABILITY IN EUROPE
2016
The theme of “judicial liability in Europe” revolves around the possibility to impose liability on judges for the infringement of the Community law, in all its forms, and subsequently to claim damages from them. In recent years, the influence of European and international laws has led to an ever-increasing pressure against the immunization and protection from liability that the judiciary has so far enjoyed. The liability of judges is therefore an expression of a fundamental and worldwide change in judicial structures. Exemplary in this context is the jurisprudence of the ECJ, affirming that the EU principle of State liability can also be applied to judicial wrongs; furthermore, the European…

Jueces y «control de calidad» de los sistemas políticos
2007
Maria.J.Anon@uv.es Este artículo trata de analizar la tesis normativa que atribuye a los jueces la función de garantía de la estabilidad de los sistemas políticos, examen que se lleva a cabo en dos planos. En primer lugar, realizo una valoración de la contribución de la regla de reconocimiento a la identidad y a la legitimidad de los sistemas jurídicos. Planteo, después, la idea de que el rasgo distintivo de la función judicial desde un punto de vista institucional y normativo no es tanto el mantenimiento de la estabilidad del orden político cuanto la garantía de los derechos, subrayando las limitaciones de la tesis analizada en este artículo en contextos de transformación del orden jurídic…

Alcune riflessioni sull’indipendenza giudiziaria nel contesto europeo
2023
This article aims to provide some reflections on the links between judiciary independence, the rule of law, and the role of judges both national and European. First of all, it focuses on the evolution of the role of the judge in the constitutional and European systems. Then, it shows how the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights have developed criteria to ensure the independence of judges, analysing them. Moreover, it examines the criteria that have been developed by the European courts and by the opinions of the Consultative Council of European Judges about the independence of the Judiciary Councils.
