With decision n. 15 of 9 February 2023, the Italian Constitutional Court upheld the legitimacy of the compulsory vaccination against COVID-19 imposed on specific categories of workers and of the consequences of non-compliance. This contribution analyses the reasoning of both the referring courts and the Constitutional Court, to understand whether the latter’s conclusion can be said to be persuasive.
In this respect, it is first maintained that the Court was correct in justifying the limitation on the human right not to be subject to unwanted medical treatments since the right to health entails the State’s obligation to protect public health. In a similar vein, the legitimacy of the exclusion from reallocation to different duties for voluntarily non-vaccinated workers seems to be adequately justified by the Court. Indeed, reallocation capacity is limited by the need to ensure the effective functioning of the utility services concerned and the prevention purposes of the measure. What appears to be questionable is the Court’s finding that the exclusion of suspended workers from the benefit of any form of social subsidy is constitutionally legitimate. A more careful consideration of international human rights law might perhaps have led the Court to a different conclusion.

The present contribution deals with the amendment to Article 9 of the Italian Constitution introduced by Constitutional Law No. 1 of 11 February 2022 which foresees a duty for the Italian Republic to protect the environment, biodiversity and ecosystems, also in the interest of future generations. The contribution pursues a twofold objective. First, it aims to analyse the content of the reform to appraise its impact on environmental protection in the Italian legal system, also in light of the previous case law of the Italian Constitutional Court. Second, it intends to assess the influence of international (environmental) law on the amendment to the Constitution. In this respect, it will be argued that the relationship between domestic law and international law follows two main trajectories: on the one hand, the constitutionalisation of international law and, on the other, the internationalisation of constitutional law.

Building upon the practice analysed in the previous issue of this Yearbook, the present inquiry provides a follow-up of the normative framework in force in the Italian legal system in 2022 to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. By enacting a plethora of prescriptive measures, Italy either implemented, derogated, or violated international obligations. In this respect, this contribution pursues a twofold objective. On the one hand, it is aimed at assessing Italy's attitude towards international law. To this end, rather than reporting entirely new measures, it will attempt to point out what happened to the main policies Italy implemented during the emergency. On the other hand, it intends to provide a useful tool for comparative analysis. The conclusions that will be reached may indeed allow for a comparison with the practice of other countries which have experienced a situation similar to that of Italy, both to draw analogies or differences regarding the stance they have taken towards international law and to assess the latter's role in global health governance.

Critical Remarks on the Obligation to Carry Out an Environmental Impact
Assessment in International Law
Not a few uncertainties still surround the obligation to carry out an environmental impact assessment under international law. This paper aims at shedding light on debated issues such as the legal status of the norm, the extent of its scope, the determination of the obligation’s content, and the legal consequences stemming from possible violations. With specific regard to the content of the norm, the paper seeks to clarify how much weight international courts and tribunals attach to soft law instruments adopted by technical bodies when called upon to determine the content of the obligation in a given case.

In light of the ongoing work of the International Law Commission, this paper deals with the topic of general principles of law. To identify principles generally applied 'in foro domestico', a two-step methodology has been established, whose second part involves a transposition test. According to the latter, « a principle common to the various legal systems of the world may be transposed to the international legal system in so far as it is compatible with that system ». Against this backdrop, this essay aims at shedding light on three main issues: (i) what kind of relationship between international law and municipal legal systems underlies Article 38, paragraph 1 (c), of the Statute of the International Court of Justice; (ii) which norms of international law operate as limits to the transposition of principles however generally applied 'in foro domestico', what are the reasons for these limits to exist and what role judges play in this process; (iii) whether the transposition test can be understood as a codification of international law rather than as a contribution to its progressive development.

Non andrebbe lontano dal vero il lettore che in esse dovesse avvertire

trascorso dall’inizio del conflitto armato tra Russia e Ucraina, il quale, se
ancora non lascia intravedere gli spiragli di una soluzione, continuamente
evoca il rischio della minaccia nucleare.
L’oggetto dello studio coinvolge tre termini: ai più noti concetti di
«pace» e «valore fondamentale», si affianca qui l’altro, piuttosto misterioso
in tale contesto, delle «future generazioni». Si tratta di tre elementi
elastici e aperti, il cui inquadramento sistematico risulta, proprio per
questo, quanto mai complesso.

Con la sentenza 21 luglio 2023, n. 159, la Corte costituzionale italiana ha affermato la legittimità costituzionale dell’art. 43, c. 3, del decreto-legge n. 36/2022 nella parte in cui sacrifica il diritto alla tutela esecutiva delle vittime italiane del Terzo Reich, apprestando come rimedio equivalente l’accesso al Fondo istituito presso il Ministero dell’economia e delle finanze. Il presente contributo intende definire la portata della decisione, analizzando il rapporto che la lega alla sentenza n. 238/2014, inclusa la questione dell’accesso alla giustizia da parte delle vittime non italiane, e con la controversia Germania c. Italia (II). L’articolo conclude evidenziando che la decisione in esame si muove complessivamente nel perimetro tracciato dalla sentenza n. 238, mentre il punto di maggiore divergenza tra il precedente del 2014 e la legislazione vigente, al momento, riguarda la posizione dei creditori stranieri. Quanto al procedimento pendente dinanzi alla Corte internazionale di giustizia, diverse ragioni e altrettante incertezze potrebbero spingere la Germania a non rinunciare al ricorso.

Note to: Corte Suprema di Cassazione (Sezione I Civile), Angela Stergiopoulos et al. v. Islamic Republic of Iran, Central Bank of Iran and other Iranian Public Agencies, Order No. 39391 of 10 December 2021
The present comment deals with the much-debated issue of the denial of foreign States’ jurisdictional immunity for 'acta iure imperii' resulting in serious violations of human rights. This question came to the fore in Italy in the early 2000s and has since led to a stark contrast between the International Court of Justice, on the one hand, and Italian courts, in particular the Constitutional Court, on the other. Against this backdrop, these
pages are aimed at analysing Order No. 39391/2021 of the Italian Corte di Cassazione, which concerns a proceeding for the enforcement of a US judgment condemning Iran to pay damages to the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Based on the reasoning of the decision, this comment argues that Italian courts, while praiseworthy for attempting to protect fundamental human rights, seem to have renounced speaking the language
of international law.

This inquiry collects the legislative measures that Italy enacted throughout the course of the pandemic in connection with international law obligations, i.e. either by enforcing, derogating or breaching international law. In this respect, the objective of the analysis is twofold. On the one hand, it is aimed at outlining Italy’s attitude vis-à-vis international law and what role the latter legal system has played within the context of the crisis. On the other hand, it intends to offer a survey tool for comparative legal analysis to those who may wish to review the experience gained and the lessons learned from the pandemic. To this end, this investigation will consider only measures that fall under international health law, international trade law, international investment law and international human rights law as these regimes have been most affected in the last two years.

L'occasione d'incontro è legata alla presentazione del libro di Carlo Nitsch, "La feroce forza delle cose", Bibliopolis, Napoli 2020. A partire dalla prospettiva crociana, l'autore prende in esame, tra le altre cose, il dibattito dottrinale sorto tra gli internazionalisti italiani in risposta al c.d. «fallimento del diritto internazionale», segnato dalla tragica esperienza della Grande guerra.

La tesi insiste nella ricerca di una collocazione coerente per la categoria del "soft law" rispetto alle fonti giuridiche dell’ordinamento internazionale. Diversamente da quanto sostenuto da una parte della dottrina, la ricerca mira a evidenziare come tale categoria di fonti normative non rappresenti una minaccia alla certezza del diritto, ma, anzi, concorra a salvaguardare la 'rule of law' internazionale. Nei primi tre capitoli si cerca di operare una sistematizzazione del rapporto che il 'soft law' intrattiene con il diritto internazionale generale e con quello pattizio, mettendo in luce le diverse forme di interazione che con queste fonti, volta per volta, possono venirsi a creare. L’analisi, quindi, procede attraverso casi e questioni legati a due settori specifici dell’ordinamento internazionale, ovvero il diritto della sanità e quello del commercio. Nei Capitoli IV e V, infatti, il 'soft law' viene preso in considerazione, rispettivamente, come strumento di governance e quale possibile antidoto alla frammentazione del diritto internazionale.

Al pari di pochi altri straordinari eventi, la pandemia di COVID-19 rappresenta un banco di prova per il diritto internazionale. Questo volume riflette sulle forme giuridiche che gli Stati hanno dato alla cooperazione internazionale in materia sanitaria, cercando di evidenziarne i punti di forza e i limiti. In tale contesto, l’Organizzazione mondiale della sanità costituisce l’asse portante di un articolato sistema di sicurezza collettiva, che, con poteri non comuni ad altre istituzioni intergovernative, guida l’azione di prevenzione e controllo delle emergenze sanitarie internazionali. Una prospettiva storica arricchisce l’analisi normativa, consentendo di leggere le criticità emerse alla luce di un processo di integrazione che già in passato ha registrato momenti di forte accelerazione, e altrettanti fallimenti.

In caso di omicidio del figlio da parte del padre già accusato di violenza domestica, nei cui confronti, di conseguenza, le autorità nazionali hanno disposto l’allontanamento dalla casa familiare, non si configura una responsabilità omissiva dello Stato per violazione dell’obbligo positivo di protezione del diritto alla vita ai sensi dell’art. 2 della Convenzione europea dei diritti umani (CEDU), solo se, in base a una valutazione autonoma, proattiva e integrata del contesto domestico, un tale evento non costituiva un rischio identificabile, concreto e attuale.

Diverse giurisdizioni internazionali hanno affermato che l'obbligo di effettuare una valutazione d'impatto ambientale ha assunto natura di norma consuetudinaria nel diritto internazionale contemporaneo, pur tuttavia restando debitrici di evidenze che potessero adeguatamente giustificare una tale affermazione. In questo quadro, la presente indagine si propone un duplice obiettivo. In primo luogo, si cercherà di evidenziare come tale istituto opera, nell’ordinamento internazionale, in vista della tutela dell’ambiente e della salute quali beni giuridici distinti, ma strettamente collegati. In secondo luogo, essa mira a raccogliere e analizzare la prassi statale sottesa ai molteplici regimi convenzionali e ad altri strumenti esistenti in diversi settori materiali dell’ordinamento internazionale, per portare luce sul contesto in cui le corti e i tribunali internazionali hanno raggiunto certe conclusioni circa la natura della norma in esame.

This inquiry aims to verify whether the general rules of treaty interpretation
as codified by the VCLT still provide effective means of interpretation in light of the evolution of international law and the practice that has developed from 1969 to date. In this respect, it must be noted that one of the most significant differences between the present stage of international relations and the time in which the VCLT was drafted concerns the unprecedented proliferation of soft law instruments. While scholarship has devoted much attention to the role of soft law in the identification of customary international law, its potential in treaty interpretation has been underestimated.

This inquiry aims at providing a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of the labour protection granted by both international investment law and arbitration. More in detail, it starts by retracing the long process which, progressively overcoming the traditional fragmentation of the international legal system, led to the development of legal solutions aimed at satisfying the claim for harmonisation between investment concerns, on the one hand, and labour protection, on the other. Against this backdrop, the analysis addresses institutions such as corporate social responsibility, the ‘right to regulate’ doctrine and the principle of proportionality, as well as – at the procedural level – the counterclaim. It concludes trying to outline a trend for the current evolution of conventional investment law practice.

In queste pagine si intende tornare su di un tema senz’altro dibattuto ma ancora fortemente controverso, relativo al valore che il soft law può assumere rispetto alle fonti dell’ordinamento internazionale e, segnatamente, al diritto internazionale generale. Negli ultimi decenni, infatti, si è assistito ad una proliferazione senza precedenti di questo tipo di atti, di cui si registra un ricorso sempre più ampio in sede giurisdizionale, ma rispetto a cui la dottrina sembra provare ancora una certa diffidenza. In questa sede si proverà a dimostrare che il valore del soft law, più che dal posto che (non) occupa tra le fonti del diritto, dipende dal modo in cui con esse interagisce in una prospettiva dinamica. In particolare, l’analisi si incentrerà sulle possibili forme di interazione tra soft law e diritto internazionale generale, ordinate secondo modelli teorici mutuati dal più noto rapporto che intercorre tra diritto internazionale generale e pattizio, il quale trova nelle convenzioni di codificazione un punto di osservazione privilegiato. L’individuazione, nella seconda parte del lavoro, di un metodo attraverso cui accertare il tipo di dinamica eventualmente occorsa tra soft law e diritto internazionale generale intende aiutare l’interprete nell’impiego del soft law, al fine di accertare il diritto internazionale generale.

This paper aims at analyzing the COVID-19 pandemic emergency from the perspective of international public health law. After a brief introduction to the field, it addresses the relevant regulatory framework in order to understand the obligations binding upon States as well as the role played by the World Health Organization (WHO) in handling the crisis. Then, the article assesses the effectiveness of the 2005 International Health Regulations (IHR), which constitutes the main regulatory source in this matter, on the basis of the action taken by the WHO and the degree of compliance shown by States in the period between January and June 2020. Against this backdrop, the discussion outlines the fundamental architecture of the collective surveillance system and examines the most relevant acts adopted by the WHO so far. In this regard, some shortcomings have emerged in practice. Lastly, the paper analyzes the relevant means of dispute settlement and their deficiencies.

È fondato l'incidente di esecuzione volto a far di-chiarare prescritto ora per allora il reato accertato con sentenza irrevocabile di condanna, quando sia intervenuta una declaratoria di illegittimità costi-tuzionale della norma penale applicata al caso di specie, relativamente alla tipologia del trattamento sanzionatorio ivi previsto, in modo tale da muta-re la natura del reato da delittuosa a contravven-zionale, e ne discenda così un diverso e più breve termine di prescrizione, per cui, se nel processo di cognizione concluso non si fosse applicata la norma viziata, la causa estintiva sarebbe già maturata ed il reato sarebbe stato dichiarato estinto per interve-nuta prescrizione.
The penal judgment can be overridden according to a declaration of unconstitutionality of the applied criminal law, when it affects both the punishable conduct – through a revision sentence ex art. 673, co. 2, c.p.p. – and on the sanctioning treatment – through an enforcement review ex artt. 665 e 670 c.p.p., in order to remove the effects of the unconstitutional law and apply the legitimate penalty –, even when the unconstitutionality affects the crime's nature and comes a different limitation period, which, matured before the sentence of conviction became final, would have determined the extinction of the crime.
