Arms Control: Between the NPT and the Nuclear Taboo?
No full textChapter 13 by Mirko Sossai chooses a legal perspective to examine the development of nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear non-use norms, which protect the fundamental values of international peace and security. Sossai identifies several intertwined drivers of change in the NPT regime, most notably the tension between national interests and community values inherent in the regime. He illustrates how the non-implementation of disarmament obligations has led to a forum shift from the NPT regime to the General Assembly. Moreover, by promoting the value of humanity, he notes that the recently concluded Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons intensified the value orientation of the nuclear weapons regime. Thus, he finds indications for a value shift in that the priority accorded to specific values is shifting in the case of nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear non-use norms
Enrico Catellani: un internazionalista al Comando supremo durante la Grande Guerra’
No full textIn anni recenti si è manifestato un rinnovato interesse nei confronti della tragica
vicenda umana nonché del contributo intellettuale di un grande e per lungo
tempo dimenticato internazionalista: Enrico Catellani. Professore all’Università
di Padova, la “capitale al fronte” durante la Grande Guerra, servì come esperto
di diritto bellico al Comando supremo: a distanza di un secolo da quegli eventi,
è interessante soffermarsi sulla posizione di Catellani rispetto allo jus in bello, a
partire dal suo pamphlet sulle violazioni del diritto di guerra pubblicato nel 1917

No full textThe Place of Cities in the Evolution of International Humanitarian Law
No full textThe increasing interest on the global dimension of cities and their engagement with international law has coincided with the emergence of a new wave of scholarship covering the main legal challenges related to urban warfare. In recent years, the devastating humanitarian consequences of war in cities have raised new questions regarding how relevant rules of international humanitarian law are interpreted and applied: cities are portrayed not only as the seat of political leadership or as cultural property but increasingly also as ‘populated areas’ and an ‘interconnected infrastructure of essential services’. Urban fighting is uniquely characterized by the proximity of military objectives with civilians and civilian objects: the question of the use of explosive weapons against military objectives in populated areas reflects the need for further clarification with respect to the application of the relevant rules of international humanitarian law (IHL). Much debate has been directed on the further legal implications of the contemporary resurgence of sieges of cities. Given that sieges are not per se an explicitly prohibited method of warfare under IHL, a key topic has been the precise scope of the ‘starvation of civilians’ as a method of combat, for the purposes of the prohibition under Article 54(1) of Additional Protocol I and customary law. It is worth considering to what extent the specific representation of what amounts to a city has been considered as a factor in the current debat
Modelli di regimi sanzionatori nella prassi contemporanea
No full textSince the end of the Cold War, the development of UN sanctions has been characterised by two different trends: individualization and formalization. Whereas the first process refers to the evolution from comprehensive to targeted sanctions, the trend towards formalisation should be understood in terms of both substance and procedure, with regard to the creation, operation and termination of sanctions. It is important to stress the interplay between UN sanctions regimes and the initiatives taken by other international organisations with respect to the same situation: in particular, the EU is currently the only regional actor imposing restrictive measures against non-members
