L’UE in lotta contro il traffico di migranti: dal facilitators package al nuovo patto sulla migrazione e l’asilo
2021
L'articolo esamina criticamente le strategie di contrasto allo smuggling of migrants messe in atto dall'Ue, dal Facilitators package (2002) sino al Nuovo patto sulla migrazione e l’asilo, adottato dalla Commissione europea il 23 settembre 2020
L'assistenza umanitaria delle ONG sotto inchiesta
2022
Lo scorso giugno, l’Agenzia dell’Unione europea per i diritti fondamentali (FRA) ha pubblicato il consueto aggiornamento semestrale sulle operazioni di Search and Rescue (SAR) nel Mediterraneo. Il documento evidenza le difficoltà di condurre le operazioni di salvataggio da parte delle imbarcazioni delle ONG, molte delle quali sono state (e continuano ad essere) sottoposte a procedimenti giudiziari e fermi amministrativi nelle giurisdizioni degli Stati membri dell’UE. Nel quadro del contrasto al traffico di migranti, infatti, è ormai impellente una riforma del Facilitator Package quantomeno nel senso di vietare agli Stati membri di criminalizzare l’attività di assistenza umanitaria delle ONG…
Il traffico di migranti nel Mediterraneo: validità della legge penale e tutela della persona
2019
Studio giuridico comparato in materia di repressione al traffico di migranti nell'ambito dell'Unione Europea con specifico riguardo al reato di favoreggiamento dell'immigrazione clandestina in Italia, Spagna e Germania e i relativi problemi di giurisdizione penale che solleva questo specifico fenomeno all'interno del bacino mediterraneo. Comparative analysis on the repression of smuggling of migrants within the EU legal framework with specific regard to domestic legislations in Italy, Spain and Germany and the jurisdictional issues which arise in such specific phenomenon. This work is part of the final deliverable of a Research Project funded by Philip Morris International (PMI-Impact) ("Th…
The market of migrant smuggling through Libya to Southern Italy since 2011: filling the knowledge gap as a human rights' strategy
2018
The first formal distinction between human smuggling and trafficking in international law was made with the signing in December 2000 of the Palermo Protocols. These definitions have influenced and shaped most of the academic research, discourse, methodology and language on human smuggling and trafficking. In turn, an understanding of the formal definitions of these crimes is necessary to appreciate their influence on policies and therefore their effects on the individuals and institutions involved (Campana and Varese, 2015). The argument at the basis of this thesis is that academic research on especially migrant smuggling has often blindly adopted the above-mentioned definitions as a given-…
L’incriminazione dello smuggling of migrants in Europa: una ricognizione comparatistica
2019
Il lavoro opera una ricognizione comparatistica di varie discipline del migrant smuggling: internazionale (Protocollo ONU), sovranazionale (UE Facilitation package) e nazionali (Italia, Portogallo, Spagna, Germania), a partire dai dati raccolti nel corso della ricerca "The New Era of Smuggling in the Mediterranean Sea" (2017-19), finanziata da PMI
Smuggled migrants as victims? Reflecting on the UN Protocol against migrant smuggling and on its implementation
2021
After outlining the UN Protocol’s general approach to migrant smuggling, the paper raises the question of whether and to what extent smuggled migrants can be said to be victims of this crime. The author argues that an affirmative answer is possible in at least three different senses: smuggled migrants can be victimized by states fighting against migrant smuggling and irregular immigration (secondary victimization); but, of course, they can also be victimized by smugglers (primary victimization), in two ways: first, if smuggling is so performed as to put their lives, physical integrity or dignity at risk; secondly, smugglers also victimize migrants by profiting of their vulnerable condition,…

Mobilità dei reati nello spazio transfrontaliero e nuovi confini delle norme penali: verso una giurisdizione “a geometria variabile”?
2018
The actual empirical reality, in which the most important criminal manifestations are articulated according to modalities which cross the territorial frontiers of the States, imposes new normative solutions which - in the attempt not to leave 'pockets' of impunity - can redraw the traditional boundaries of the criminal regulations. In a context pervaded by international interventions of criminalization of the most serious forms of manifestation of crime (above all, the Palermo Convention and its Protocols), there is, first of all, at the domestic level, a change of the same territorial paradigm of the criminal law, which adapts the exercise of jurisdiction according to "variable geometries"…
Between Criminalization and Protection. The Italian Way of Dealing with Migrant Smuggling and Trafficking within the European and International Conte…
2019
This volume is devoted to the dark side of human mobility, that is migrant smuggling, and, linked with it, human trafficking. Both subjects will be mainly treated from an Italian perspective; however, due to their having a generally transnational character, the analysis will necessarily require that international and supranational actions/measures also be taken into account. Moreover, the legal perspective will be supplemented by the phenomenological/criminological one, through which the authors try to provide the work with a realistic dimension aimed at grasping the practical aspects of both migrant smuggling and human trafficking emerging from the different ways in which such crimes are d…
