The article discusses the judgment 238/2014 rendered by the Italian Constitutional Court on State immunity in cases of serious violations of human rights or humanitarian law. It aims to provide some critical reflections on the potential relevance of this judgment in the further development of the international legal regime in respect of state immunity in cases of serious violations of human rights or humanitarian law. To best address this purpose, the analysis will be divided into two parts. In the first part, it will be addressed the potential significance of the stance taken by the Court. In the second part, the Italian Constitutional Court's approach will be assessed, with a focus on its capacity to affect to a greater extent the development of the relevant practice.

O presente trabalho reflete brevemente sobre as ideias de violencia pura e de estado de excecao efetivo no pensamento de Walter Benjamin (1892-1940), lancando na secao 2 a hipotese de que sao resultados de uma longa meditacao que comeca com o texto Sobre a critica da violencia (1921), passa pelo denso fragmento O carater destrutivo (1931) e chega a obra intitulada Teses sobre o conceito de historia (1940), quando Benjamin percebe com clareza a impossibilidade de se negociar com as instituicoes democratico-liberais, as quais funcionam como estruturas desaceleradoras (katechonta) do tempo da revolucao, leitura apresentada na secao 1 mediante a profanacao do conceito original schmittiano. O artigo passa entao na secao 3 a interpretar as ideias de Benjamin em um cenario de ficcao - a trilogia Batman de Christopher Nolan - que a cada dia parece mais terrivelmente real, concluindo com um paragrafo de sabor agambeniano sobre o direito-que-vem (secao 4).

This paper deals with the question of truth in law, more specifically: the epistemological status of judicial process. In a phenomenological approach, aims to clarify the importance of facts to the right answer. Proceeds comparing two referentials: the critical realism of Michele Taruffo and the Critical Hermeneutics of Law. In spite of its democratic common ground, there is a deep disagreement about what is meant by inter-subjective control of judgments. The conclusion drawn is to reject the "truth acquiring" structure of justice system as proposed by Taruffo.

This paper aims to analyze the experience of the criminal reforms carried out by the Italian fascism and the Brazilian "Estado Novo", to understand the constitutional legitimacy for the parliament's dismissal and the collaboration of renowned lawyers for code-making, but without the ultimate control of popular representation. Analyzing the historical documents as the code-drafts and the criminal historiography, this paper concludes that in Italy, the parliament itself has abdicated its competence by a delegation of powers to the government and in Brazil, the 1937 coup d'Etat imposed a new constitution in which the x legislative competence fully to the Executive Power. Furthermore, both the regimes used intellectual legitimacy by jurists.

as acoes transindividuais revolucionaram o direito contemporâneo. Especificamente, o direito empresarial tomou parte neste fenomeno. Por exemplo, na acao derivativa, individuos - os acionistas - estao legitimados a litigar em nome de uma coletividade, em relacao a assuntos da corporacao. O objetivo deste artigo e analisar essa acao derivativa, comparando-as com as acoes coletivas de acionistas em geral, explicitando que os dois procedimentos detem apenas similitudes superficiais, mas divergem em nivel mais profundo. A acao derivativa objetiva a protecao de um genuino direito coletivo e indivisivel, enquanto as demais acoes coletivas de acionistas asseguram uma agregacao de direitos individuais. Consequentemente, diferem na forma de representacao, sobretudo em sua adequacao, na equidade interna do procedimento e no objetivo que perseguem. O estudo dessa dicotomia contribui nao so na compreensao dessas duas formas de processo, mas no entendimento da propria corporacao e a relacao entre ela e a sua diretoria, investidores e mesmo os demais stakeholders. No mais, sugere-se a necessidade de uma nova interpretacao para a distincao entre as citadas acoes, considerando a natureza do direito em jogo.

the recent decision of the International Court of Justice in the case between Croatia and Serbia provides us with the opportunity to reassess the relationship between state and individual responsibility for international crimes. Although limited to the commission of acts of genocide, the judgment shows that the conceptual framework explaining such relationship is now well settled. However, the Court seems to reach solutions that at times are not entirely consistent with the premises of such conceptual scheme. The purpose of the following analysis is to test the general theoretical approach with respect to a number of issues dealt with by the Court in its recent decision.

this study explores the social representations of judges of the TJDFT about the trajectories of inmates of Santa Maria Unit - a juvenile prison for girls. We tried to understand how this category of offenders teenagers is constructed on the sentences. To do so, we performed a content analysis of 17 sentences. We found that there is an emphasis on the description of the "lost trajectories" of these girls. Their "career of indisciplines" justifies the detention and the sentences have a positive role in the constitution of criminal subject, naming the social type from who we can expect criminal behavior.
本研究探讨了TJDFT法官对Santa Maria Unit(一个关押女孩的少年犯监狱)囚犯轨迹的社会表征。我们试图理解这类青少年罪犯是如何构建在句子上的。为此,我们对17个句子进行了内容分析。我们发现,书中强调了对这些女孩“失去的轨迹”的描述。他们的“违纪生涯”证明了拘留的正当性,刑罚对犯罪主体的构成具有积极的作用,指明了我们可以期待犯罪行为的社会类型。

based on an "eco-systemic" democracy that seeks to preserve biodiversity through the recognition of the co-evolutionary link between nature and culture, the Andean Constitutionalism emerges as the expression of a counter-hegemonic constitutionalism committed to the construction of a new institutional framework through the inclusion of new participatory and intercultural mechanisms. Departing from western constitutional paradigms, this groundbreaking constitutionalism revisits the "Gaia hypothesis" and legitimizes a real "social contract" among the people and nature, and instead of considering it as an "object" of ownership, exploitation, or conservation, it regards nature as a legal "subject" and primary source of society itself and the Constitution as its "legal grantor and protector".
