Sicurezza e populismo. I migranti alla frontiera del diritto penale

2023

Il presente lavoro di ricerca ha ad oggetto la criminalizzazione delle migrazioni nell'èra del cosiddetto populismo, e in particolare del populismo penale. Invero, negli ultimi anni si è assistito ad una espansione incontrollata del potere punitivo che, sotto la pressione di un bisogno collettivo di sicurezza, ha condotto ad una vera e propria disumanizzazione del diritto penale (e punitivo-amministrativo), nel duplice significato che quest’ultima espressione rivestiva secondo la giurispoeta Mireille Delmas-Marty: "quello di un diritto penale che si sta deumanizzando, e quindi deumanizzato, in quanto sempre più distante dai principi dell'umanesimo giuridico; e quello di un diritto penale de…

The rules against the human trafficking: the Italian job‚ and the needs for a new not exclusively legislative answer.

Multi-Stakeholder Initiatives and New Models of Co-Regulation in the Field of Business and Human Rights

2020

Since the late 1990s, a new paradigm of international cooperation, taking the form of a vast array of so-called ‘multi-stakeholder initiatives’ (MSIs), has increasingly gained importance in the field of business and human rights (B&HRs), where MSIs engage in the establishment and implementation of standards of conduct, reporting formats, and certification schemes, directed at helping companies to address the possible adverse human rights impacts of their activities. Although these developments have received increasing scholarly attention, there remains a great need for further in-depth inquiry about the nature and effects of this new model of co-regulation. In particular, what can be sa…

Venäläinen vapaus : kansainvälisten ja venäläisten ihmisoikeusjärjestöjen näkökulmat Venäjän ihmisoikeustilanteesta Neuvostoliiton romahtamisesta vuo…

2012

Neuvostoliiton romahtaminen vuonna 1991 oli yhteiskunnallisesti ja poliittisesti hyvin monitahoinen tapahtuma. Neuvostoliiton seuraajaksi noussut Venäjän liittotasavalta pyrki uudistamaan yhteiskuntaa ja hallintoa, sekä luomaan länsimaisen demokraattisen kansalaisyhteiskunnan. Länsimaiseen demokratiaan kuuluu ajatus ihmisoikeuksista ja niihin kuuluvista kansalaisvapauksista, kuten ne ovat YK:n yleismaailmallisessa ihmisoikeusjulistuksessa määritelty. Venäjä Neuvostoliiton seuraajavaltiona oli vahvistanut YK:n yleismaailmallisen ihmisoikeusjulistuksen ja sitä koskevat lisäpöytäkirjat, ja oli näin ollen kansainvälisen oikeuden mukaan sitoutunut noudattamaan niitä, sekä kunnioittamaan niiden p…

Human Rights–Based Social Work and the Natural Environment: Time for New Perspectives

2023

AbstractThe natural environment and sustainability play an increasingly important role in social work as a discipline and profession. This is often described as the ecosocial paradigm. Even though the paradigm shares important ethical foundations with human rights–based social work, the connection between both is rarely examined in social work scholarship. This article addresses the gap by asking the following questions: How is the ecosocial paradigm linked to the human rights discourse in social work? What is the environmental dimension of human rights, and what implications does it have for social work? How can a human rights–based social work encompass the environmental dimension? In res…

Diverging meanings of CSR and corporate responsibility for human rights : comparative study on Finnish firms and civil society organizations

2016

The role and responsibility of business enterprises and their potential impacts to wider society has attracted attention both in public debate and academia.

Celebrity endorsements and congratulatory messages: Jordan v. Jewel Food Stores: A case of right to publicity versus commercial speech

2016

Product endorsements by athletes are common brand-building tactics. The brand receives additional consumer attention and goodwill created by the athlete. The athlete receives compensation that may exceed their player salary. However, local sport heroes create community pride for their accomplishments. Fans show their pride by congratulating the sport star. Is a local, non-endorsing company allowed to offer similar congratulations? In 2012, a US appellate court was asked to decide a case where Michael Jordan claimed that a Chicago grocery store chain's congratulatory message violated his right to publicity. Through an analysis of this legal case, this paper will discuss the following issues:…

La disciplina statale dell'immigrazione tra profili di criticità costituzionale e diritto vivente alla luce di alcune recenti vicende normative

2021

La disciplina statale dell'immigrazione non è riuscita a risolvere le aporie connesse allo squilibrio tra diritti umani ed esercizio del potere pubblico statuale: ciò rende necessaria un'interpretaziine adeguatrice che è operata dalla giurisdizioni coinvolte. Il diritto di matrice giurisprudenziale si sovrappone così al diritto positivo, sostituendosi ad esso con modalità che interrogano sui limiti del diritto vivente anche con riguardo al ruolo della Corte costituzionale. L'ultimo intervento normativo in materia, il D.L. n. 130/2020, non ha eliminato tutte le incertezze ed ambiguità della disciplina preesistente, essendosi limitato il legislatore a recepire, con alcune correzioni minimali,…
