International Human Rights Law
This textbook provides a thorough and systematic overview of human rights law, including the most relevant practice and case law, but also dealing with theoretical issues. It pursues an original approach, seeking to reconcile its didactic purpose with a scientific one, positing that there must be a necessary synergy between these two purposes. Furthermore, the author is convinced that international human rights law should not be studied (as is done in virtually every textbook) as a special legal regime, separate and autonomous from the overall system of international law; but as a regime that is fully integrated into the international legal order. The book’s dominant theme is the interrela...
State Responsibility and the Individual
The book reviews the modern tendency to recognize individuals aggrieved by a (grave) violation of their rights as holders of claims to reparation directly under international law. Indeed, the European as well as the American Convention on Human Rights empower the relevant Courts to grant appropriate compensation to any person whose complaint is successful. Under general international law, however, this tendency still lacks solid foundations, although a draft declaration currently pending before the UN Human Rights Commission ('van Boven Principles') would confirm the individual's entitlement to reparation as a matter of international law. Likewise, some US Courts have already tried to entert...
Global Justice, Human Rights and the Modernization of International Law
This book is based on the observation that international law is undergoing a process of change and modernization, driven by many factors, among which the affirmation and consolidation of the role of the individual and of the theory of human rights stand out. In the contemporary world, international law has demonstrated an ability to evolve rapidly. But it is still unclear whether its modernization process is also producing structural changes, which affect the subjects, the sources and even the very purpose of this law. Is it truly possible to speak of a paradigmatic and ideological change in the international legal system, one that also involves a transition from a state-centred internationa...

Diritto internazionale dei diritti umani
Questo manuale offre un quadro completo e sistematico dei diritti umani internazionali, tenendo conto sia della prassi che delle questioni teoriche. La prospettiva dominante è quella della reciproca influenza tra il settore dei diritti umani e il diritto internazionale generale. Seguendo questo schema, i capitoli del libro sono dedicati all’impatto dei diritti umani sull’ordinamento internazionale, al rapporto tra diritti umani e fonti internazionali, a quello tra diritti umani e obblighi internazionali, ai sistemi di garanzia, e infine al contenuto normativo dei singoli diritti umani. Il libro è uno strumento importante per tutti coloro che desiderano approfondire il ruolo dei diritti umani nella comunità internazionale contemporanea.
Conciliation in International Law
This volume collects the materials underlying the International Colloquium “Conciliation in the Globalized World of Today“, held on 11 and 12 June 2015 in Vienna under the auspices of the Court of Conciliation and Arbitration within the OSCE. The aim of the Colloquium was to examine the merits and possible shortcomings of this method of conflict resolution, and it concluded that the pros heavily outweigh the cons.
