Chapter 6 analyses the relationship between International human rights law (IHRL) and international humanitarian law (IHL). IHL represents the new version of a part of the old ius gentium, in particular its ius in bello. Nonetheless, IHL excludes ius ad bellum, formerly linked to ius in bello in ius gentium, in continuity with the Just War Theory. The current IHL is characterized by neutrality, impartiality, and humanity in protecting victims. The practice of IHRL – not the abstract doctrine of natural rights – aims to protect human beings in different contexts and against different forms of vulnerability. In this last sense, IHL could be seen as a part of the former in the case of vulnerab…

2020
Importance of international humanitarian law has emerged significantly in last two decades, becoming as the primary legal source, which is used as the pre-emptive measure of restricting international actors from indiscriminate actions and use of prohibited weapons with regulating the entire conduct of war.

Il dovere di soccorso in mare e il diritto di obbedire al diritto (internazionale) del comandante della nave privata
2019
Shipmasters are commonly considered the addressees of an international legal duty to rescue at sea. This article describes the evolution of international law in this field, from the first maritime conventions of the 1910's to the IMO Safety Committee's resolutions of the 2010's. It then argues that behind the duty to rescue there is a hidden right of the shipmaster. This right has a moral pedigree and is functional to the full compliance of the duty itself. It can be enforced in the national legal order against any State (or private entity) that tries to obstruct the shipmaster's activities of assistance or to penalize her or him for the assistance given. National judges enforce this right …

Anotācija Ārvalstu tiesu nolēmumu atzīšana un izpildes atļauja (eksekvatūra) ir viens no centrālajiem starptautiskā civilprocesa izpētes objektiem. Nepieciešamība atzīt un izpildīt ārvalstu tiesu nolēmumus pēdējo gadu laikā strauji pieaug. Tas izskaidrojams gan ar Latvijas kļūšanu par ES dalībvalsti, gan arī ar globalizācijas attīstību pasaulē. Ar 1997.gada 2.oktobra Amsterdamas līguma1 spēkā stāšanos 1999.gada 1.maijā tieši ES tiesiskās telpas sistēma kļuva par visstraujāk attīstīto sistēmu ārvalstu tiesu nolēmumu atzīšanas un eksekvatūras jomā. Autore savā darbā par galveno mērķi ir izvirzījusi pētīt ārvalstu tiesu nolēmumu atzīšanas un izpildes atļaujas (eksekvatūras) attīstības tendence…
