The European Courts and the Security Council: Between "Dédoublement Fonctionnel" and Balancing of Values
2009
The recent case law of various international tribunals facing questions related to UN Security Council resolutions shows the clear tendency to grant primacy to the UN legal order. This trend, far from being well founded on formal arguments, appears to be a tribute to a legal order perceived as superior, and, at the same time, is revealing of the ‘value oriented’ approach followed by the courts. Such an approach can be categorized from a theoretical perspective in the light of Scelle's theory of relations between legal orders, whereby the courts implement in their respective legal orders values stemming from the UN legal order. Various critical remarks can be advanced in relation to this att…
Foreign direct investment attraction in the Baltic States
2014
This paper considers the importance of macroeconomic factors as well as investment climate for foreign direct invest ment attraction in the Baltic states. It reviews some of the indicators for measuring the investment climate and their usefulness as indicators of strength of FDI attraction and uses the results of econometric analysis to consider relative importance of various macroeconomic factors. The results suggest that perceptions of corruption and fiscal policy are some of the more important drivers of FDI attraction. The paper also considers several measures that could improve foreign direct investment attraction in the Baltic States such as expanding the protection of property right…
The Source of Righteousness according to The Homilies on the Epistle of St. Paul to Romans of John Chrysostom
2020
W Homiliach na List św. Pawła do Rzymian Jan Chryzostom wyłożył tradycyjną naukę Kościoła na temat usprawiedliwienia człowieka. Za podstawę uważał sprawiedliwość Boga, który, czego dowodzi przykład Abrahama, od początku historii zbawienia dążył do udzielenia ludziom darmowej łaski usprawiedliwienia, opierającej się nie na uczynkach wynikających z Prawa Mojżeszowego, ale na wierze w Bożą obietnicę. Źródłem łaski usprawiedliwienia była dla Złotoustego Ewangelia, a zwłaszcza męka, śmierć i zmartwychwstanie Jezusa Chrystusa. Przez pośrednictwo Odkupiciela sprawiedliwość Boża staje się dostępna śmiertelnikowi. Aby jednak człowiek rzeczywiście i skutecznie został przeniesiony w stan sprawiedliwoś…

Resumen:En el presente artículo analizamos la situación del alumnado español durante el transcurso y a la finalización de su etapa de escolarización básica y obligatoria, distinguiendo distintas zonas y subzonas en las que se ubican en su relación con el aprendizaje, así como también en función del distinto grado en que se satisface el derecho a la educación. La exclusión educativa la caracterizamos como la privación a algunos jóvenes de este derecho reconocido universalmente, el cual interpretamos en su sentido más amplio, fijándonos especialmente en la calidad de la enseñanza recibida por el alumnado. De entre todas las zonas y subzonas señaladas profundizamos especialmente en dos de ella…
Il diritto di recesso nelle società c.d. benefit
2020
This essay will examine legislations on benefit corporations across Europe and the US, through a focus on whether or not elections by a corporation – or any other entity – to become a social purpose corporation or to cease to be one entail the arising of a right to withdraw on dissenting shareholders. Starting with the analysis of the legal framework, which applies to operations such as conversions from a for-profit corporation to a benefit corporation or the other way around, the essay will investigate their effects on the right to withdraw of dissenting shareholders both on unincorporated business entities and on corporations.
Brevi note comparatistiche in tema di suicidio assistito
2019
The essay focuses on the legitimacy of assisted suicide in Italy and in England and Wales, particularly with regard to patients suffering from severe pain from incurable or terminal illnesses. In two recent cases (Cappato and Nicklinson), both Italian and English judges suggested to the Parliament to modify the current state of the law, without making a declaration of incompatibility with Article 8 of the Convention. The paper compares the approach of Corte Costituzionale and UK Supreme Court to the issue, revealing the ambiguity hidden behind those common decisions.
Constitutional developments in Latin American abortion law.
2016
Abstract For most of the 20th Century, restrictive abortion laws were in place in continental Latin America. In recent years, reforms have caused a liberalizing shift, supported by constitutional decisions of the countries’ high courts. The present article offers an overview of the turn toward more liberal rules and the resolution of abortion disputes by reference to national constitutions. For such purpose, the main legal changes of abortion laws in the last decade are first surveyed. Landmark decisions of the high courts of Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, and Mexico are then analyzed. It is shown that courts have accepted the need to balance interests and competing rights to ground less res…
Sviluppo partecipante e sistemi tradizionali: Il caso dei Borana dell'Etiopia
1992
In the development programs concerning the Ethiopian Borana local groups are assigned the role of principal group for development initiatives. As such, the project seems to meet the principle of participatory development. However, among the Borana, local communities have very little organizational significance and no say at all on matters regarding rights of property. Such authority is instead attributed to descent groups, which are not localized. In particular, clans have both the organizational capacity to coordinate collective investments on natural resources and the authority to guarantee personal and collective property rights. It is therefore suggested that a direct link with clans an…
A case of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy without ventricular arrhythmias
2014
Abstract We submit a case report of a 21-year-old man admitted to our emergency room for acute right heart failure. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) was diagnosed but ventricular arrhythmias have never been detected. On the basis of the diagnosis of ARVC and for the frequent episodes of symptomatic bradycardia, the patient underwent implantation of a biventricular defibrillator (CRT-D). In ARVC symptoms usually appear between the ages of 30–50. Especially in young patients the most common clinical presentation of ARVC are palpitations and syncope due to ventricular tachycardia with left bundle branch morphology. In cases of older patients in whom the disease has been d…
Revascularisation of a Giant Coronary Artery Aneurysm in Suspected Incomplete Kawasaki-Disease
2006
Kawasaki disease leads to typical vascular complications in up to 20 % of untreated cases. We describe a 47-year-old patient with coronary vessel disease, involving the right coronary artery with a huge aneurysmatic dilatation, suspicious for an incomplete form of Kawasaki disease. We found little information about the surgical treatment and postoperative course of this disease in adults. Typically, these infrequent patients present with acute myocardial infarction and require interdisciplinary decision-making.
