Some Remarks on the Relationship between Secession and General International Law in the Light of the ICJ’s Kosovo Advisory Opinion
2012
How is it possible to regard something that is not prohibited, as illegal? What are the resulting consequences of fact and law? This chapter suggests that a reasonable way to reconcile these two assertions is to admit that they refer to two profiles of the phenomenon in question that must be kept separate. Independence is not prohibited, but not all means to reach it are allowed under general international law. To render this concept, the author submits the idea of a normative "due process" seen as a set of rules giving no legal entitlement to statehood nor determining the creation of a State, but forming a normative course through which factual processes should be legally channelled. The c…

In these cases, the ultimate beneficiaries of the interim protection are individuals although, formally, proceedings focus on States’ rights and duties (concerning the protection of human rights). The present paper analyses the recent case-law of the said courts from a double perspective: on the one hand, with…
La tecnica del bilanciamento nella giurisprudenza dei tribunali internazionali
2023
La presente ricerca esamina il ruolo della tecnica del bilanciamento tra interessi, principi o valori nel ragionamento del giudice internazionale. Da un punto di vista tecnico, essa tenta di chiarire le funzioni che il bilanciamento può svolgere nell’ambito dell’esercizio della funzione giudiziaria internazionale, e quale sia la struttura dell’argomentazione giudiziaria che su essa si fondi, sempre che un approccio comune tra i diversi tribunali internazionali sia riscontrabile. Da un punto di vista di politica giudiziaria, intende fornire alcune possibili spiegazioni della diversa propensione dei diversi tribunali internazionali a fare ricorso a tale tecnica o, nella giurisprudenza di uno …
