GIUSI SORRENTI

La (parziale) riconversione delle "questioni di interpretazione" in questioni di legittimità costituzionale

(25.07.16)

Abstract

The judgment of the Constitutional Court n. 111/2016 represents a revirment with respect to the previous constitutional jurisprudence on the obligation of the true interpretation, since with it would seem that the judge "a quo", although the obligation to try to prevent the antinomy is always imposed, should no longer "prefer" the true interpretation. So the paper aims to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of this new hermeneutic approach, within what appears to be a tendency, more generally, to centralize the judgment by the constitutional judge, with the recovery of the foundations of modern constitutionalism.

Agenzie di rating e impatto sulla sovranità

(12.07.16)

Abstract

This short article examines the sovereign credit ratings that is the credit rating released from credit rating Agencies where the entity rated or where the issuer of the debt or financial obli-gation is a State or a regional or local authority of a State or an international organization created by the State. During the financial and economic crisis sovereign credit ratings both in Europe and in Latin America shows deficiencies and some concerns for a lot of basic categories of constitution-al law, because for example the publication of sovereign ratings or outlooks and the disclosure  of rating changes affects the reliability of States, without any accountability of rating Agencies, evenif the ratings have proven often to be inaccurate. By  using  the  provisions  of  the  Article  5  of  Regulation  (EU)  No  1060/2009,  on  the  equivalence and certification based on equivalence, between credit rating Agencies, registered in the European Union and credit rating Agencies established in third countries, the article realized a first compari-son with States like Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, with the aim to prove that there cannot be power without  responsibility,  and  this  also  concerns  the  power  of  the  most  powerful  actors  in  the  age  of globalization, like credit rating Agencies.

Cosa sono i diritti fondamentali e da chi e come se ne può avere il riconoscimento e la tutela

(30.06.16)

Abstract

The work discusses the notion of "fundamental rights" within the Italian legal system, taking into consideration the role of the "dialogue among courts" as well. First of all, the Author focuses on definitions and on the very concept of "fundamental" as regards rights. Second, issues arising from the need to protect these rights are investigated. In this regard, specific attention is devoted to the dialogue among courts, shedding light on the fact that the (praiseworthy) attempt to "maximize" the protection of rights might hide some risks for the certainty of law. As a conclusion, the Author presents some considerations on the "work in progress" nature of "enlarged" protection of rights, going beyond national jurisdictions.

L'intervento nei conflitti costituzionali: porta chiusa al deputato e porta aperta al consigliere regionale?(Corte costituzionale 9 giugno 2015, n. 107)

(23.05.16)

Abstract

With the decision of the Constitutional Court n. 107 of 2015, the intervention of the regional councilor who had demonstrated the existence of an "interest" in the cause was admitted in the constitutional conflict by the State and the Regions. The article, therefore, analyzes the possibility that said expanded constitutional contradictory could "open the doors" to the admission of the intervention of the parliamentarian in the conflict of attribution between powers of the State pursuant to art. 68 of the Constitution.
