ŠThis comprehensive collection addresses an overlooked area: war crimes and the conduct of hostilities. It uplifts aspects that are particularly under-appreciated, including cultural property, fact-finding, arms transfer, chemical weapons, sexual viole
The aim of this series is to publish important and original pieces of research on all aspects of international law. Topics that are given particular prominence are those which, while of interest to the academic Lawyer, also have important bearing on issues which touch the actual conduct of international relations. Nonetheless the series is wide in scope and includes monographs on the history and philosophical foundations of international law. Book jacket.
'Nobody knows how much I owe that man', Primo Levi said of his Italian compatriot Lorenzo Perrone, who saved his life at Auschwitz. 'I could never repay him'. Each day for a period of six months, Perrone, who worked beside Auschwitz in desperate conditions, risked his own life to smuggle part of his own soup ration to Levi, quietly leaving the mess tin by a half-constructed brick wall. Without those extra five hundred calories, Levi could not have survived, and would probably not have written If This Is a Man, the first published account by a Holocaust survivor. In A Man of Few Words, Carlo Greppi pieces together the life of Lorenzo Perrone, a bricklayer from the Piedmontese town of Fossano,...
Book & CD. This newly revised edition in an acclaimed series pays greater attention to the gender and articles of nouns, while the 80-minute audio CD accompaniment has been re-edited to provide greater ease when used in conjunction with the lesson material. The book's renowned approach to vocabulary acquisition remains the same, and it continues to be an excellent supplement text for students of Italian in all settings.
The ever-increasing use of technology is challenging the current status of the law, bringing about new problems and questions. The book addresses this trend from the perspective of International law and European Union law and is divided into three main thematic sections. The first section focuses on the legal implications of the use of technology either for law enforcement purposes or in the context of military activities, and examines how this use adds a new dimension to perennial issues, such as the uneasy balance between security concerns and the protection of individual rights, and defining the exact scope of certain State obligations. In so doing, it takes into account a range of curren...
The existence of a structured enforcement system is an inherent feature of national legal orders and one of the core elements of State sovereignty. The very limited power to issue sanctions has often been deemed a gap in the EC legal order. Over the years, the situation has progressively changed. The Union’s institutional setting is growing in complexity and a variety of agencies has been or is expected to be endowed with law enforcement responsibilities. In addition, the so-called competence creep has led the EU to play an increasingly prominent role in several areas of EU law enforcement, including the issuing of sanctions. This book examines these developments, focusing on both the gene...
Il volume raccoglie le relazioni che sono state presentate al convegno tenutosi a Torino il 3 marzo 2017, intitolato “Separarsi e divorziare senza giudice?”. Obiettivo del convegno è stato quello di offrire una riflessione sulle riforme che hanno interessato negli ultimi anni il diritto di famiglia: l’introduzione della negoziazione assistita da avvocati in materia di separazione e divorzio e della possibilità di separarsi e divorziare, anche senza l’assistenza di un avvocato, mediante un accordo raggiunto davanti al sindaco quale ufficiale di stato civile; lo sviluppo dell’istituto della mediazione familiare; l’approvazione del c.d. “divorzio breve”; la disciplina delle un...
Gli undici saggi che compongono il volume costituiscono un omaggio che gli Autori hanno voluto tributare, in occasione del centocinquantenario della nascita, a Federico Patetta (Cairo Montenotte, 16.2.1867 – Alessandria, 28.10.1945), un maestro emblematico per la Storia del diritto italiano e, più in generale, per le discipline genericamente definite ‘umanistiche’, il quale ha illustrato con il proprio magistero l’Ateneo torinese nei primi decenni del secolo XX. Le tre parti in cui si articola il libro tentano di restituire un profilo complesso del personaggio che in certo qual modo rifletta la poliedricità di formazione, di interessi e di magistero che hanno contraddistinto lo stu...
“La notificazione è volta a provocare la conoscenza, come si evince dal suo stesso nome, derivante dal latino notum facere. Nell’istituto tuttavia – osservava Minoli in uno dei più rilevanti studi sul tema dello scorso secolo – il ruolo preponderante è svolto dal facere, dalle attività da svolgere, e non dalla notitia: l’effettivo conseguimento della conoscenza non è essenziale affinché il procedimento si perfezioni. Nel corso degli anni questa sensibilità è mutata. La tutela costituzionale accordata al diritto di difesa e l’influenza di altri modelli, in particolare quello tedesco, hanno reso più sentita la necessità che le regole della notificazione assicurino al dest...
The Law and Practice of the United Nations examines the law of the United Nations through an analysis of the Organization’s practice from its inception until the present, in particular to the transformations the UN has undergone since the end of the Cold War. Special consideration is given to Chapter VII of the UN Charter and its interpretation, the United Nations’ membership and organs’ competences, along with the peaceful settlement of disputes, and coercive action for the maintenance of international peace and security. In addition, this important new edition explores such areas as general and smart sanctions, peacekeeping, authorizations of the Security Council, territorial administrations, self-determination, human rights, financing of the Organization, acts adoptable by the UN organs, and a review of their legality. Offering a fully revised and updated analysis of the main legal issues surrounding the United Nations’ practice, The Law and Practice of the United Nations will be of interest to all those involved with legal issues surrounding the United Nations, the analysis of said issues, and their impacts on international practice
