Revisionismo histórico y racismo en la jurisprudencia constitucional : los límites de la libertad de expresión (a propósito de la STC 235/2007)
2007
Después de plantear la contradicción existente en la jurisprudenciaconstitucional que, por una parte, admite el revisionismo histórico conel límite del respeto a la dignidad y, por otra parte, reconoce con lamáxima amplitud la libertad ideológica, se analiza la STC 235/2007que ha declarado inconstitucional el delito de negación del genocidioy, en cambio, ha considerado constitucional la penalización de la justificacióndel genocidio. Esta sentencia ha clarificado parcialmente lasituación del revisionismo histórico y, en general, de la difusión de ideascontrarias a la Constitución pero sigue existiendo aquella contradicción;no obstante, ha aportado elementos como la distinción entreideas y ac…
Organizational dissent and workplace freedom of speech : a qualitative study of young professional intra-urban migrant workers in Shanghai
2014
Chinese economy reform triggered the largest domestic labor migration in human history. These 150 million migrant workers are treated as second-rate citizens in urban cities because of the discriminatory household registration system: Hukou. Previous studies have predominantly focused on blue-collar migrants while the professional workers, the potential permanent city dwellers, received little attention. This study attempts to fill this gap by exploring the perception of workplace freedom and preference of dissent strategy among professional migrant workers in Shanghai. Eight young and well-educated migrants participated in this study through semi-structured online interviews. This study no…
Insults, humour and freedom of speech
2016
In this article we argue that freedom of speech should be understood as a social freedom. In the public discussion after the Charlie Hebdo attacks, it has often been understood as an absolute right to say anything – to offend, to make a fool of others and of oneself, and to express any opinion regardless of the consequences. We challenge this view and propose that advocating freedom of speech without understanding its social foundations is misleading and counterproductive. Based on the critical social theories of Erich Fromm, Charles Taylor and Axel Honneth, we show that there is an alternative tradition in which freedom is fundamentally rooted in social relations and therefore requires re…
Information disorder. Learning to recognize fake news
2022
The advent of the internet and digital platforms has revolutionised the way information is produced and disseminated. The aim of this paper was to examine whether it is possible to draw from Article 21 of the Italian Constitution that there is a right to good information, as an expression of the rights to be informed and to receive information. It also looked at what form of regulation is possible for the dissemination of information on the Web in order to ensure that it is true, objective, and unbiased and whether public- only regulation, private- only regulation or a form of co- regulation, which seems to be model chosen in the EU’s draft Regulation, the so- called Digital Services Act, i…
The proportionality of limitations of freedom of expression in the context of suppression of terrorism under the Council of Europe Convention on the …
2021
The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the equilibrium between the suppression of incitement of terrorism and the rights of freedom of expression, established by the Council of Europe. Freedom of expression is an important element for a democratic society. Nevertheless, states are under an obligation to ensure the right to life of people within their jurisdiction. Recognising the devastating effect of violent terrorist attacks, the Council of Europe in 2005 adopted the Convention on the Prevention of Terrorism, which was the first legal instrument imposing an obligation on the State Parties to penalise incitement (provocation) of terrorism. The paramount importance in the Convention is devot…
An exploration of organization dissent and workplace freedom of speech among young professional intra-urban migrants in Shanghai
2017
This study explores the factors influencing the dissent behavior and perceptions of workplace freedom of speech among young Chinese professionals who are intra-urban migrants. It attempts to grasp the role of the Chinese household registration system, referred to as Hukou, in migrants’ professional and everyday life. Fourteen interviews were conducted with young, well-educated intra-urban migrants who possessed middle-income jobs but did not possess a Shanghai registration (Hukou). This study reveals that traditional Confucian values are significant in shaping Chinese migrant workers’ expressions of dissent and perceptions of workplace freedom of speech. Findings from this study demonstrate…
Freedom of expression and the times of emergency: analysis of Article 15 of the European Convention on Human Rights and derogations made by Turkey an…
2021
COVID-19 pandemic is regarded not to be solely a health crisis, but also human rights crisis. The pandemic limited freedom of movement, freedom of expression, right to education, food security, and other rights. The thesis focuses on the limitation to the freedom of expression in Europe under the ECHR framework during the COVID-19 pandemic in Turkey and Hungary. In Europe, there are more than one hundred alerts on the limitation to the freedom of expression during the pandemic. The thesis is to provide an in-depth understanding and analysis of the derogation procedure of the ECHR under Article 15 ECHR and the limitation procedure to the freedom of expression under Article 10(2) ECHR. Based …
L’INSINDACABILITÀ FRA EQUILIBRIO DEI POTERI ED UGUAGLIANZA DEI DIRITTI
2010
RESUMEN El Estado italiano ha sido condenado por el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos por la violación del artículo 6.1 del Convenio, en todos aquellos casos relativos a la prerogativa de la inviolabilidad (insindacabilità) parlamentaria prevista en el artículo 68.1 de la Constitución. Atendiendo al dato apuntado, puede afirmarse que la necesaria garantía del principio de separación de poderes, en tanto que elemento esencial de la “arquitectura constitucional” viene a colisionar con la protección de los derechos fundamentales, al desconocer las exigencias derivadas del principio de proporcionalidad. El caso de la inviolabilidad italiana parece desviarse, por lo que a su aplicación se ref…
The relationship between organizational dissent and workplace freedom of speech: A cross-cultural analysis in Singapore
2017
AbstractThis study is a test of the relationship between organizational dissent and the perception of workplace freedom of speech in Singapore. Through a quantitative analysis of 384 individuals in Singapore, the following was found: articulated dissent and latent dissent are positively correlated with workplace freedom of speech. In addition, multiple analysis of covariance analyses revealed nation of birth exerted considerable influence on articulated dissent, and latent dissent, but not on workplace freedom of speech. The results provide evidence of how nation of birth is related to an individual’s willingness to express dissent. Theoretical and practical implications for research into o…
Il valore costituzionale della buona informazione
2022
Is there a constitutional right to good information? In the age of the internet and digital platforms, this question becomes more urgent and more pressing. In the debate in the Constituent Assembly already emerged the need for a control on sources of information, a requirement that, however, did not find a formulation expressed in Art. 21stof the Italian Costitution. It speaks only of a possible intervention of the legislator aimed at making known the «means of financing the periodic press». Nevertheless, the constitutional culture of contemporary democracies brings with it the idea of a reliance on the individual in the quality of the information he receives and thus raises the question of…
