Freedom of religion in the framework of universal instruments for the protection of human rights and under the European Convention
No full textFreedom of religion or belief is a fundamental right recognized in all the international acts concerning human rights. This contribution investigates the content and the contours of this right considering the interpretative and applicative acts adopted by those international organs called to clarify and apply the right. In particular, it considers the activity of the Human Rights Committee and of the Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion and Belief, and the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights. The analysis focuses on both dimensions of the right: the right to adopt, change and renounce to one’s religion, further enriched by the prohibition on forcing others to believe or not; and the right to manifest one’s religion, with the addition of the prohibition on requiring people to reveal their beliefs

La libertà di religione in un contesto pluriculturale. Studi di diritto internazionale e dell'Unione europea
No full textIl diritto alla libertà di religione, riconosciuto come fondamentale in tutti gli strumenti a garanzia dei diritti umani, è sempre più oggetto di attenzione nelle società pluriculturali contemporanee. La prassi delle autorità nazionali e delle istituzioni internazionali che se ne occupano è dunque considerevolmente aumentata nel corso del tempo. Il volume si prefigge di promuovere la conoscenza di tale diritto e la riflessione in merito ad esso, prendendo in esame in particolare gli ordinamenti giuridici internazionale e dell’Unione europea, in quanto entrambi rappresentano un punto di riferimento imprescindibile per la politica degli Stati in materia.
Il volume comprende i seguenti contributi: 1. Il diritto alla libertà di religione negli strumenti universali di tutela dei diritti dell’uomo e nella Convenzione europea (M. Spatti) – 2. La libertà di abbigliamento religioso nella giurisprudenza della Corte europea dei diritti dell’uomo (M. Ferri) – 3. La tutela dei diritti dei gruppi religiosi nel quadro della CEDU (C. Morini) – 4. Il contributo dei sistemi extraeuropei di tutela dei diritti umani alla realizzazione della libertà religiosa, tra convergenza normativa e specificità applicative (M. La Manna) – 5. La religione nell’ordinamento dell’Unione europea: il modello pluralistico alla prova della giurisprudenza della Corte di giustizia (A. Santini) – 6. L’autonomia delle Chiese e delle organizzazioni religiose europee alla luce della giurisprudenza recente della Corte di giustizia dell’Unione europea (L. De Pasqual) – 7. Il dialogo tra l’Unione europea e le organizzazioni religiose (L. Lionello
Freedom of religion in a pluricultural context. Essays of International and European Union Law
No full textThe right to freedom of religion, recognized as fundamental in all instruments guaranteeing human rights, is increasingly the object of attention in contemporary pluricultural societies. The practice of national authorities and international institutions dealing with this fundamental right has therefore evolved considerably over time. The volume aims at promoting updated knowledge about this right, taking specifically into consideration the international legal order and the law of the European Union, for both of them represent essential points of reference for the State policies in these domains. The volume includes the following contributions: 1. Freedom of religion in the framework of universal instruments for the protection of human rights and under the European Convention (M. Spatti) - 2. The freedom to wear religious clothing in the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (M. Ferri) - 3. The protection of the rights of religious groups in the framework of the European Convention on Human Rights (C. Morini) - 4. The contribution of extra-European human rights protection systems in the implementation of religious freedom, between convergence and inherent peculiarities (M. La Manna) - 5. Religion in the EU legal order: the pluralistic model and the case-law of the Court of Justice (A. Santini) - 6. The autonomy of European Churches and religious organizations in light of the recent case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (L. De Pasqual) - 7. The dialogue between the European Union and religious organizations (L. Lionello
L'azione dell'Unione europea nella lotta all'odio online: la responsabilizzazione dei social media
No full textSocial media contribute to the spread of hate speech. For this reason the European Union, with its action in the fight against hate speech, has identified, through acts of soft law, some tasks that social media could pursue in order to prevent and to remove hatred contents. However, this empowerment creates some problematic issues, because the web platforms become the new judges of what is lawful or unlawful online. This study investigates the contents of these acts with the goal to verify if the outlined responsibilities are adequate to achieve the intended purpose and their impact on the rights involved
La pubblicità comparativa dei prodotti alimentari alla luce della giurisprudenza della Corte di giustizia dell'Unione europea
No full textThe article analyses the rules of the European Union concerning comparative advertising as interpreted by the European Court of Justice, in particular on the occasion of judgements relating to the advertising of food products. The Court has admitted the possibility to compare foods and has adopted a positive orientation, interpreting the lawfulness conditions of com- parative advertising in a wide manner. It has, for example, established that the fact that food products may differ in terms of conditions and place of pro- duction, their ingredients, who produced them, and the pleasure that derives from consuming them, cannot preclude the possibility of the comparison. It has moreover approved those advertisements that compare the price trends of different supermarkets. However, in concrete terms this kind of advertising is of hard implementation because it often reveals itself as misleading, and therefore prohibited
La disciplina comunitaria relativa all'allontanamento dei richiedenti asilo verso "Paesi sicuri"
No full textThe article investigates the European Community provisions on the "safe country of origin" and the "safe third country" practices. The analysis focuses on Council Directive 2005/85 concerning the procedures for granting and withdrawing refugee status as well as the Dublin Convention and the subsequent Regulation denominated "Dublin II". These norms provide for the criteria and mechanisms to determine which Member State is responsible for examining asylum applications and they give concrete application to the "safe third country" rule. Notwithstanding the fact that these practices were introduced in order to eliminate abuses in asylum seeking, they do not comply with the international provisions that safeguard refugees and the fundamental rights of individuals
Violenza contro le donne e appartenenza a “un determinato gruppo sociale” nella determinazione dello status di rifugiato. Riflessioni a margine della sentenza WS (C-621/21) della Corte di giustizia.
No full textApplications for international protection by women fleeing gender-based violence are mostly traced back to persecution for ‘membership of a particular social group’. This persecution ground is, however, caged in rigid criteria that lend themselves to arbitrary interpretations, which the Court of Justice in its WS judgment (C-621/21) has in fact ended up confirming. However, at the same time, by qualifying the Istanbul Convention as an interpretative instrument of the common European policy on asylum and subsidiary protection, the Court has imposed a more gender-sensitive reading of the European Union's rules, which should lead to a better identification of the situations in which migrant women victims of violence must find protection
Denying the Armenian Genocide in International and European Law
No full textSeveral international and European legal instruments, both binding and non-binding, call on or allow for the criminalization of speech that denies, condones or minimizes international crimes. The aim of this essay is to verify the extent of those instruments, particularly the definitions of punishable behaviours and the identification of the object/target of such behaviours, with a view to ascertain whether the instruments apply to the Armenian massacres of 1915–191
