Prefazione al Volume 7, Numero 2
type: item
description: Care lettrici e cari lettori, Che cosa accade quando il diritto è chiamato a dare nome e forma a fenomeni che, per lungo tempo, sono rimasti ai margini del discorso giuridico? E in che modo le categorie tradizionali del diritto riescono – o faticano – a leggere trasformazioni sociali sempre più complesse e stratificate? I contributi raccolti nel Volume 7 Numero 2 della Trento Student Law Review si inseriscono proprio in questo spazio di interrogazione. Le riflessioni proposte affrontano temi di grande attualità, mettendo in luce la tensione costante tra violenza, protezione e accesso effettivo ai diritti, così come il ruolo delle istituzioni nel riconoscere, prevenire e rispondere a fenomeni che spesso vengono sottovalutati o letti attraverso categorie non più adeguate. In filigrana, emerge il rischio di una tutela selettiva, che non sempre riesce a garantire una protezione uniforme e tempestiva, e che solleva interrogativi profondi sul modo in cui il diritto opera come strumento di riconoscimento e di inclusione. Senza offrire risposte definitive, gli articoli di questo numero contribuiscono ad alimentare uno spazio di riflessione critica che è, da sempre, vocazione della nostra rivista: uno spazio in cui il diritto non è solo oggetto di studio, ma linguaggio, dialogo continuo. È qui che la Trento Student Law Review trova la propria identità, valorizzando la pluralità degli sguardi e il confronto rigoroso tra prospettive diverse, sempre nel solco della scientificità e della letteratura accademica. Ricoprire un ruolo direttivo all’interno di una rivista giuridica universitaria, seppur nel suo contesto limitato, mi ha permesso di cogliere quanto anche gli spazi che si percepiscono come neutrali siano attraversati da strutture di potere spesso silenziose. Allo stesso tempo, il lavoro svolto insieme al Direttivo e a tutta la redazione ha dimostrato come tali schemi possano essere messi in discussione attraverso pratiche quotidiane di collaborazione, ascolto …

Di violenza di genere e di giustizia riparativa
type: item
description: Attraverso l’adozione di una prospettiva critica nei confronti dell’odierno utilizzo del diritto penale in funzione educativa e della scelta, da parte del legislatore, di offrire una risposta prevalentemente punitiva alla commissione di un reato si guarda al fenomeno della violenza di genere e alla neo-introdotta giustizia riparativa. Nel primo paragrafo si sviscera sia il tema della violenza di genere attraverso una lettura che parte dalla prima ondata del movimento femminista e arriva fino all’attualità, nel secondo paragrafo ci si concentra sulla giustizia riparativa, mettendo in luce le spinte che ne hanno favorito l’emersione e le principali scelte legislative compiute all’interno del d.lgs. n. 150/2022 che l’ha istituita in Italia. Solo nelle ultime pagine dell’elaborato si uniscono i due argomenti e si cerca di indagare la domanda: è desiderabile, oltre che opportuno, che in Italia anche alle vittime e alle persone indicate quali autori di reati che sono espressione di violenza di genere venga consentito l’accesso ai programmi di giustizia riparativa? Quali sono le implicazioni? N.d.R. Il testo è stato scritto prima della promulgazione della Legge 2 dicembre 2025, n. 181 “Introduzione del delitto di femminicidio e altri interventi normativi per il contrasto alla violenza nei confronti delle donne e per la tutela delle vittime.”

Asylum Amidst Crisis
type: item
description: The article examines Poland’s legislative response to the sudden influx of Ukrainian refugees, caused by the Russian invasion of the country, with a focus on the Special Act as an implementative tool of the Temporary Protection Directive. Through a longitudinal analysis, it analyzes the way in which the Polish legal framework adapted to said sudden arrival of refugees, with particular attention to mechanisms such as access to employment, social support, and broader integration. The overall aim of the work, by using a doctrinal legal analysis of both national legislation and EU directives, is to evaluate the effectiveness and limitations of the dual protection established by the Polish Special Act. While this latter provided rapid solutions to the crisis, it also revealed both structural gaps in long-term integration and a systematic deservingness-based approach in the acceptance and inclusion of migrants coming into the State territory.

Beyond Positive Law
type: item
description: Women’s suffering and resistance within the well-known patriarchal structure have existed since time immemorial. This will be demonstrated by starting from the concept of the victim from a broader perspective, touching on its meaning, the prejudices related to it, and the difficulties encountered by victims within the adversarial justice system, finally concluding with the need to seek help and the related challenges. An example of a victim is surely the woman within the above-mentioned structure, mainly because of the roles she is forced to perform. It is difficult for her to be coerced into being a virgin, which is a hurtful anatomical myth and a cage. Even more demanding is the role of motherhood, which is a source of joy for some, yet a burden. While maternity might be fulfilling, it still exposes women to significant physical, psychological, and social disadvantages. Enjoyment does not erase the structural costs imposed on women’s bodies and lives. Finally, what most call “sex work” – but is indeed brutal, non-consensual sex, thus rape – will be examined, and the legislative models used to regulate or tackle it will be considered, together with some unpopular critiques of the prostitution debate.

Scuderoni v. Italy
type: item
description: This article reflects on the phenomenon of domestic violence starting from the analysis of the recent judgement of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) Scuderoni v. Italy, where the victim experienced a violation of the prohibition of ill–treatment and the right to respect for private life and correspondence, as established in Articles 3 and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, due to the inactivity of the Italian court which underestimated this problem. The analysis is then followed by a focus on the principal international conventions created to tackle gender – based violence and domestic violence, the Istanbul Convention and the European Convention on Human Rights, whose Articles 3 and 8 were violated by Italy. Ultimately, the phenomenon of domestic violence is analyzed from the Italian point of view, reporting data and measures that have been adopted to stop this form of violence. This is followed by a discussion on the delay of Italian authorities in recognizing domestic violence, the inadequacy of risk assessment to adopt preventive measures and to tackle the problem, with a consideration on the effectiveness of the investigations around the phenomenon of domestic violence.

Prefazione al Volume 7, Numero 1
type: item
description: Care lettrici e cari lettori, Quando si parla di una rivista giuridica universitaria, spesso si pensa a un progetto esclusivamente editoriale. Ma la Trento Student Law Review è, prima di tutto, una comunità. Una realtà in cui ogni editor è anche socio, e ogni socio contribuisce – con il proprio tempo, il proprio impegno, le proprie idee – a mantenere viva una struttura che si evolve giorno dopo giorno. Oggi siamo orgogliosi di presentare il primo numero del Volume 7. Questo numero rappresenta il frutto di un lavoro collettivo che va ben oltre le attività redazionali. Negli ultimi mesi, infatti, la nostra associazione ha intrapreso nuove iniziative che testimoniano la vitalità del nostro progetto. Un momento particolarmente significativo è stato l’avvio del nuovo ciclo di eventi, pensati per creare un ponte concreto tra gli studenti e il mondo professionale. Il primo incontro, dedicato all’impatto del digitale nella scrittura giuridica, ha inaugurato un formato dialogico che valorizza la partecipazione e l’ascolto reciproco. È stato un momento intenso e necessario, che ci ha permesso di dare forma a un’idea semplice ma potente: il diritto non si impara solo sui libri, e la formazione giuridica non si esaurisce tra le aule universitarie. Un altro traguardo importante è stata la nostra partecipazione, come redazione, al convegno organizzato nell’ambito della Scuola di Dottorato 2025 del Dottorato di ricerca in “Autonomia privata, impresa, lavoro e tutela dei diritti nella prospettiva europea e internazionale” dell’Università La Sapienza di Roma. È stato un onore rappresentare la nostra rivista in un contesto così stimolante, insieme ad altre realtà editoriali studentesche provenienti da tutta Italia. Il confronto con altre esperienze ci ha arricchiti profondamente, permettendoci di riflettere sul nostro ruolo nel panorama accademico: quello di studenti che scelgono di impegnarsi attivamente nel dibattito giuridico, portando il proprio sguardo critico e cos…

In Verrem: l’oratoria ciceroniana nel processo criminale romano
type: item
description: In Verrem, raccolta di orazioni scritte da Marco Tullio Cicerone nel 70 a.C., rappresenta una fonte fondamentale per comprendere il diritto criminale processuale dell’epoca tardo-repubblicana. L’opera fu elaborata in occasione della causa penale per concussione e corruzione intrapresa dal popolo della provincia di Sicilia contro l’ex propretore dell'isola Gaio Licinio Verre ed è relativa alle orazioni che l’Arpinate, chiamato a rivestire il ruolo di accusatore nella controversia, avrebbe dovuto pronunciare durante il processo. Le Verrine non solo emergono per il loro prezioso valore storico nell’ambito del processo criminale romano e del quadro politico-sociale della tarda repubblica ma anche per il vigore drammatico e oratorio, rappresentando uno dei maggiori esempi dell’ars rhetorica di Cicerone. Il presente contributo, dopo una breve introduzione dell’opera ciceroniana, si propone innanzitutto di analizzare ed estrapolare gli elementi di rilevanza storico-giuridica contenuti nel testo; a seguire, l’elaborato volge l’attenzione sull’aspetto stilistico dell’opera, soffermandosi su alcuni passaggi che testimoniano le strategie retoriche utilizzate dall’autore per conquistare e persuadere il proprio pubblico. L’obiettivo è quello di comprendere in che modo e in quale misura l’abilità dialettica di Cicerone abbia influenzato l’esito del processo, nonché di osservare a quali tecniche oratorie egli sia ricorso al fine di risultare così incisivo e raggiungere un risultato schiacciante.

Dai Delicta Imperii alle immunità internazionali
type: item
description: Il presente elaborato esamina il rapporto tra il principio dello ius cogens nel diritto internazionale e il concetto di delicta imperii, con particolare riferimento alle immunità statali. L’analisi parte dalla gerarchia delle norme internazionali, evidenziando come il ius cogens, costituito da principi inderogabili quali il divieto di tortura e di crimini di guerra, prevalga sulle immunità giurisdizionali degli Stati. La giurisprudenza italiana ha progressivamente affermato la superiorità della tutela dei diritti fondamentali rispetto all’immunità statale nei casi di gravi violazioni del diritto internazionale. Viene in seguito analizzata la sentenza 238/2014 della Corte Costituzionale italiana, che ha ridefinito i limiti dell’immunità statale nei casi di crimini di guerra e contro l’umanità, riconoscendo la possibilità di esercitare la giurisdizione nazionale anche contro Stati stranieri. L’approccio italiano si confronta con la posizione della Corte Internazionale di Giustizia, che ha invece riaffermato la natura procedurale dell’immunità, distinguendola dalla responsabilità per crimini internazionali. Lo studio approfondisce, inoltre, il dialogo tra ordinamento italiano e diritto internazionale, evidenziando il ruolo degli artt. 10 e 11 della Costituzione nella partecipazione dell’Italia ai trattati internazionali. Infine, viene esaminata la prospettiva tedesca sulle immunità statali, sottolineando la distinzione tra atti di iure imperii e iure gestionis. La ricerca conclude che, sebbene il diritto internazionale tradizionale tuteli l’immunità statale, l’evoluzione giurisprudenziale suggerisce una crescente apertura alla giustiziabilità dei crimini internazionali, ridefinendo il confine tra sovranità statale e tutela dei diritti umani.

Animals, aren’t we? The Gradualist Approach for Animal Rights
type: item
description: Among the most disputed issues in applied ethics, we are faced with the challenging relationship we entertain with nonhuman animals. There are obligations to which we must abide by, due to legislation, in our treatment of non-human animals; they mainly deal with a prohibition on cruelty and torture. When it is about moral obligations, so what an individual feels compelled to do, the discourse differs. Many leading philosophers in the field, such as Peter Singer, Tom Regan and Marta Nussbaum, have attempted to define a threshold, based on different criteria, for which animals are deserving of being objects of moral obligations. Whether based on a pre-existing condition, or built on a specific legal framework, such discourses often end up clashing with the difficulties of their pragmatic application. The treatment of nonhuman animals, considering scientific findings and a growing “animal-friendly” attitude, has become a top tier topic in the global political agenda. After a historical analysis, comprehensive of the role of science in the development of the Western-centric moral and legal positions, this paper suggests a blend of Marta Nussbaum’s Capabilities Approach and Francesco Allegri’s gradualism, to reach a gradualist approach based on the individual animals’ abilities.

Yemen’s Houthis
type: item
description: This paper examines the legal and geopolitical complexities surrounding the rise of the Houthis in Yemen’s ongoing conflict. It provides a historical overview of the group’s evolution and assesses their classification under international law. The study explores the legal implications of the Houthis' actions, particularly in relation to the principles of State sovereignty, self-defense and the use of force against non-state actors. By analyzing international legal instruments such as the United Nations Charter, Geneva Conventions, and customary international law, this paper evaluates the legitimacy of force used by and against the Houthis. Special attention is given to the classification of their attacks on maritime vessels and whether these constitute acts of piracy or lawful engagements within a Non-International Armed Conflict (NIAC). The paper further investigates the role of key stakeholders, including Saudi Arabia and the United States in responding to Houthi actions and the broader implications for international security. Through a doctrinal legal research approach, supported by case law and scholarly analysis, the study provides insights into the evolving challenges of addressing non-state actors within the framework of international law. Ultimately, this paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on state sovereignty, collective security, and the legal boundaries of self-defense in contemporary armed conflicts.

Prefazione al Volume 6, Numero 2
type: item
description: Care lettrici e cari lettori, Sette anni fa, un’idea audace ha preso forma: una rivista giuridica capace di unire profondità accademica e rilevanza pratica, promuovendo una discussione aperta e consapevole su temi cruciali del diritto contemporaneo. Oggi, con orgoglio, presentiamo il secondo numero del Volume 6. Questa edizione rappresenta non solo la maturazione del progetto, ma anche un esempio tangibile di come una comunità accademica viva e partecipativa possa arricchire il dibattito giuridico internazionale. Con trentatré editor interni, affiancati da revisori esterni e una schiera di autori di talento, la nostra rivista continua a crescere grazie all’impegno collettivo di tutti coloro che contribuiscono al processo editoriale. I tre articoli presenti in questo numero, pur affrontando ambiti giuridici distinti, sono uniti da un filo conduttore comune: la sfida della complessità normativa e tecnologica nel diritto moderno e l’imprescindibile necessità di soluzioni equilibrate e innovative per garantire un sistema legale equo ed efficace. Il primo contributo, "Automated Copyright Enforcement Online: How Platforms Stifle Creativity by Reducing Technological Cost" di Vitantonio Leuzzi, esplora come le tecnologie di enforcement automatico del copyright, come il sistema ContentID di YouTube, abbiano trasformato il panorama della tutela dei diritti d’autore. Questo articolo mette in luce le implicazioni legali e costituzionali di tali sistemi, evidenziando il delicato bilanciamento tra la protezione dei creatori e la libertà degli utenti. Leuzzi propone soluzioni per un’applicazione del diritto d’autore che garantisca equità e trasparenza nel contesto digitale. Il secondo articolo, "CCI v. Sector Regulators: Navigating Jurisdictional Ambiguities for Effective Resolution" di Hammad Siddiqui e Naman Pratap Singh, affronta le sovrapposizioni giurisdizionali tra la Competition Commission of India (CCI) e le autorità settoriali di regolamentazione. L’analisi approfondita d…

Juveniles Neuronal Development and Criminal Justice
type: item
description: This paper delves into the deepest and most relevant intersections between juveniles brain development and Criminal Law. It aims to understand and analyze current neuroscientific revelations pertaining to brain development in young adults, and how these same findings have impacted jurisdictions and legislations’ ways of handling the sentencing of younger individuals. Furthermore this article supports its arguments mainly on the basis of the most current and detailed neuroscientific research, focusing on the neuronal changes interesting adolescents’ brains, particularly focusing on the process of myelination, and the effects on behavioral patterns, such as an increase in explorative conducts and a generally diminished perception of danger. Key judicial rulings, such as the ones held in Roper v. Simmons (543 U.S. 551, 2005), Atkins v. Virginia (536 U.S. 304, 2002), and Miller v. Alabama (567 U.S. 460, 2012) are then examined to demonstrate how the U.S. judicial system has started to recognize the objectively diminished culpability in minors. Finally, the paper illustrates potential Italian Criminal Law flaws on the grounds of youth culpability via a comparative approach, moreover taking into account recent successful legislative innovations.

Automated Copyright Enforcement Online
type: item
description: This article examines the interplay between copyright law and emerging digital technologies, focusing on several key components: the constitutional basis of copyright law, the doctrine of fair use, secondary liability, the DMCA safe harbor provisions, and automated copyright enforcement technologies, particularly YouTube’s ContentID system. In Part I, the paper outlines these foundational elements. Part II builds upon this framework to analyze recent developments in online copyright enforcement, highlighting existing challenges and proposing potential solutions to improve the effectiveness and fairness of these enforcement mechanisms.

CCI v. Sector Regulators
type: item
description: The intersection of competition law and sector regulations often leads to jurisdictional overlaps, blurring the line between antitrust and sector regulation. This article delves into the complex landscape of jurisdictional conflicts between the Competition Commission of India (CCI) and sector-specific regulators in India’s regulatory framework. The paper meticulously examines the problems arising from these jurisdictional ambiguities, including forum shopping, legal uncertainty, and over-enforcement, which collectively harm consumer interests and undermine the efficiency of market regulation. The paper traces the roots of these conflicts to multiple sources, including ambiguous legislative provisions, inconsistent judicial interpretations, and the inherent challenges in delineating the boundaries between competition law and sector-specific regulations. In response to these challenges, the article proposes a multi-faceted approach to resolution. It advocates for enhanced cooperation between the CCI and sector regulators through mechanisms such as mandatory consultations, memorandums of understanding, and the establishment of dedicated working groups. The paper concludes by emphasizing the need for a harmonized approach that leverages the strengths of both the CCI and sector regulators to create a more coherent and effective regulatory framework in India.

Prefazione al Volume 6, Numero 1
type: item
description: Care lettrici, cari lettori, ho il piacere di presentarvi il Volume 6 Numero 1 della Trento Student Law Review. Questo numero segna l’inizio del lavoro di una nuova generazione di editors, che con grande entusiasmo e seguendo le orme dei suoi predecessori, si impegna a proseguire questo ambizioso progetto. Desidero esprimere gratitudine alla precedente generazione di aspiranti giuristi per la passione e gli insegnamenti trasmessi. Il loro impegno e dedizione continuano a essere fonte di ispirazione e guida per il futuro della TSLR. Il cambio generazionale dimostra il valore e la necessità di una rivista giuridica come questa, capace di affrontare i temi più attuali e sfidanti del nostro tempo. Gli articoli presentati in questo numero offrono una visione approfondita su argomenti critici, trattati con rigore accademico e prospettive innovative. Gli autori contribuiscono con analisi che mirano a stimolare il dibattito e a promuovere una maggiore comprensione delle sfide giuridiche contemporanee. In particolare, nel primo articolo Setsen Kiyoutes esplora l'evoluzione e le ambiguità del reato di "Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble" in Cina, utilizzato per sopprimere il dissenso e limitare la libertà di espressione. Il secondo articolo analizza i Deferred Prosecution Agreements come strumenti legali per le aziende per evitare la piena responsabilità penale. Con un’attenta analisi Mauro Fragale e Valentina Grilli evidenziano i vantaggi e le criticità di tali accordi e propongono modifiche legislative per migliorarne la trasparenza e l’applicazione. In seguito, Beatrice Pattaro esamina la trasformazione delle organizzazioni mafiose nell'era tecnologica, con un focus su come la tecnologia e le nuove forme di comunicazione rendano più difficile identificare le attività mafiose. Nel quarto articolo Enrico Zonta valuta la proposta di Direttiva dell'UE sulla Due Diligence Sostenibile delle Imprese e le sue implicazioni giuridiche extraterritoriali, interrogandosi se…

The EU’s CSDDD: Lawful Extraterritoriality or Jurisdictional Overreach?
type: item
description: The European Union (EU), in the continuous effort to assert itself as a global regulatory power, is attempting to regulate Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence through a Directive proposed by the European Commission in February 2022 (CSDDD), and currently under consideration by the co-legislators. Such Proposal envisages obligations for both EU and non-EU companies falling under its personal scope to identify, mitigate, and bring to an end all adverse effects to human rights and sustainability arising out of the company’s own operations, its subsidiaries, and value chain regardless of the location, pending sanctions and civil liability in the EU. Given the far-reaching obligations regulating conduct abroad, it is essential to ascertain whether the EU is engaging in a lawful exertion of extraterritorial jurisdiction, or if the CSDDD Proposal would be too far of a jurisdictional encroachment into other States’ sovereignty. After reviewing the relevant triggers of application of the Directive both under international and EU law, it is submitted that the Proposed Directive does not appear to be manifestly violating international law, without prejudice to discussions on the current amendments in the course of the ordinary legislative process.

Impunity for Sale: Are Deferred Prosecution Agreements a Way for Companies to Evade Liability?
type: item
description: Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPAs) have emerged as a contentious legal instrument, as they allow corporations to negotiate their way out of criminal liability without facing the full weight of a trial. This paper aims to explore the inherent benefits of DPAs – such as the potential for corporate reform, cooperation with law enforcement, preservation of jobs, and economic stability – while highlighting the criticisms, including concerns about accountability, transparency, and the perception of impunity. This article argues that, when appropriately structured and administered, DPAs provide benefits that significantly outweigh their drawbacks, as they offer a practical and flexible solution for addressing corporate wrongdoing where traditional criminal prosecution may be impossible or excessively burdensome. Nevertheless, their current limitations call for legislative amendments aiming at achieving a fairer and more comprehensive legal framework. These changes should address issues such as ensuring transparency in DPA negotiations, establishing clear criteria for DPA eligibility, and enhancing judicial oversight.

The Most-Favored-Nation Treatment Standard
type: item
description: In this article, we will analyze the importance of the Most Favored Nation (MFN) treatment standard in the context of international investment law as an instrument to create equal competition between foreign investors. We will investigate the history of this standard, and the changes it underwent during different moments of history. Our aim, through this article, is to understand how this standard has supported the liberalization of world trade. In furtherance of the aim, we will analyze the connection between the two relative standards, the National Treatment Standard and the Most- Favored-Nation Treatment Standard, as they are both used to create an equal playing field among foreign investors, and between foreign and national investors. We will examine the most important MFN clauses in different investment law agreements and analyze their main components and differences, together with the exceptions and limits of some MFN clauses. We will then focus on some of the most important decisions regarding the possibility of extending a Tribunal’s jurisdiction through an MFN clause and shortening the waiting periods. Our aim through this article is to understand how this standard has supported the liberalization of world trade.

A Comparative Study of the Legal Evolution and Cognate Offenses of “Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble”
type: item
description: In recent years, the discussion on “picking quarrels and provoking trouble” has become increasingly close in Chinese society and attracted the attention of legal scholars as well as deputies to the National People's Congress (NPC). Indeed, since 1997, when this offense was first criminalized in mainland China, it has been regulated and refined by the Amendment (VIII) to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China and also by several related judicial interpretations. However, its regulation is still ambiguous and open-ended, with its boundaries easily blurring with other crimes and leading the academia and social communities to believe that it has evolved into a new "pocket crime", frequently employed by a judiciary that lacks oversight, suppresses dissent and restricts freedom of expression. Therefore, it is crucial to study, from both legal and historical perspectives, analogous social control laws existing in mainland China across different periods and legal frameworks in order to reveal their social impact and pave the way for the establishment of the rule of law. In this direction, this paper adopts an empirical and comparative approach to the analysis of the legal evolution of “picking quarrels and provoking trouble”, starting from its legislative origins and background, while, on the other hand, focusing on the most controversial issues concerning this crime and the discussion on its survival or abolition.

Rivoluzione Silenziosa: le Mafie nell’Epoca High-Tech
type: item
description: Normalmente la criminalità organizzata di stampo mafioso assume, nelle nostre menti, un’immagine ben definita data dalle tradizionali rappresentazioni che tutt’oggi ci vengono mostrate nei film. Ma oggi è ancora così? È chiaro che le cose stanno cambiando, che è sempre più difficile vedere quelle forme classiche di criminalità organizzata in un mondo così diverso da quello di 40 anni fa. Questo perché le mafie si stanno differenziando, stanno assumendo forme diverse, sono sempre più trasparenti sotto un duplice punto di vista: è difficile rintracciarne i movimenti nella commissione di quei reati parte di un unico disegno criminoso, così come è difficile rintracciare quelle forme di intimidazione classiche perché le comunicazioni tra membri dell’associazione, ma anche con gli esterni, sono differenti. Questa trasparenza si spiega solo in un modo: la tecnologia, le nuove forme di comunicazione, hanno spinto questo cambiamento fino a portare le mafie a conformarsi con i nostri comportamenti. A far passare inosservata l’attività criminale sono le sempre maggiori difficoltà nel differenziare i comportamenti che oggi si ritengono abituali e quelli che, invece, sono comportamenti tipici dell’associazionismo mafioso. È, ormai, chiaro che sia assolutamente necessario un cambiamento, un punto di svolta, un momento di riflessione per riuscire a guardare più in là di ciò che siamo abituati a fare.

description: This study examines the nuances of the regulation of Islamic banking and finance in Nigeria, the UK, and Indonesian jurisdictions, addressing the challenges and prospects for these legal systems and/or economies. The research adopts a qualitative methodology, drawing theory from a vast trove of literature from authors on the African, Asian, and European continents. The basis for bringing this topic into discussion revolves around the undeniable significance that Islamic finance now has in certain parts of the world. Islamic banking dominates the worldwide Islamic finance industry, representing 80% of Islamic finance assets. There is growing concern for the subpar usage of the practice in certain jurisdictions. Most literature does not question this need, perhaps due to the general acceptance of the conventional banking system worldwide. Previous research works are yet to undertake a comparative assessment of the usage of Islamic banking and finance practices among jurisdictions, spanning representative nations from diverse regions and continents, thus occasioning a gap in the literature. This article discusses the legal and regulatory provisions earmarking the practice of Islamic banking and finance in the jurisdictions using available literature. While each jurisdiction recognizes the practice of Islamic finance, those in Indonesia and, to a good extent, the UK, have richer provisions for its development. Thus, while taking cognizance of the social-cultural contexts, a critical assessment of the regulatory mechanisms in Nigeria is carried out against the background provided by the Indonesian and English legal systems. It is found that for there to be a robust appropriation of the practice in the jurisdictions, especially Nigeria, a forward-looking system must be adopted.

Il Record of Meeting concluso tra la Cina Continentale e Hong Kong S.A.R.: luci ed ombre dell’accordo attraverso una comparazione con il Regolamento (UE) n. 848/2015
type: item
description: Quella della Repubblica Popolare Cinese è la storia di un Paese che alla prosperità economico-commerciale alterna amare cadute ed inaspettate resurrezioni. Una storia costellata dal monito: l’imperativo è sopravvivere! È con la logica della sopravvivenza che la Cina, araba fenice ormai condannata ad un destino nefasto, risorge dalle proprie ceneri. Nel processo di rinascita economica centrale è il ruolo assunto da Hong Kong S.A.R., della disciplina concorsuale e dell’insolvenza transfrontaliera. Nel quadro geo-politico attuale caratterizzato da gravi crisi finanziarie, pandemia e conflitti tra Stati, il Paese di Mezzo mira alla realizzazione del cd. Sogno Cinese: fronteggiare l’egemonia economico-commerciale degli Stati Uniti d’America a livello internazionale. In siffatto contesto, l’accordo sull’insolvenza transfrontaliera (cd. Record of Meeting) concluso tra Hong Kong S.A.R. e la Cina Continentale nel maggio 2021 rappresenta il primordiale tassello di un articolato mosaico tuttora in fieri. Non solo, il Record of Meeting riflette nuovamente la maestria di un Paese capace di contemperare i contrari: un ordinamento di common law con un’economia capitalista ed uno di civil law con un’economia (ancora in parte) socialista. Attraverso l’analitica disamina dell’accordo condotta nel presente elaborato si constata un’ulteriore abilità: lasciarsi inebriare, almeno in ambito giuridico, dall’Occidente. Quello stesso Occidente che ostracizza la Cina definendola un Paese piuttosto rigido, in cui non esiste la capacità politica, dove tutto è eternamente scolpito nella pietra. Dal tentativo, a tratti maldestro, di emulare l’Occidente, e più in particolare il Reg. (UE) n. 848/2015, sorgono alcune questioni giuridiche a cui i giudici, l’esecutivo e gli interpreti saranno chiamati a rispondere. Ma si fa strada anche una convinzione: per competere o superare l’egemonia del grande rivale la Cina deve trarre profitto dalle sue debolezze e, al contempo, attrarre investitori stranieri …

Transitional Justice, Complementarity, and How the Colombian Case Affected the Notion of "Justice" inside the ICC System
type: item
description: The rules governing the power of the International Criminal Court resort to a blurred concept such as that of "justice". Moreover, this problem is compounded by the fragile balance on which transitio- nal justice processes rest, particularly those in which it is accepted that the criminal sanction may be turned down in favor of the protection of higher interests. The outcome of this framework in a concrete case like the Colombian one could not have been any different than what it has been: almost twenty years of preliminary examination, a civil war that is not over yet, and much uncertainty. This article is an attempt to demon- strate how the combination of transitional and restorative justice is not only well possible but also compatible with the Rome Statute system. The norms of the ICC statute, both national and international case laws, and doctrinal interpretations all together show that if justice does not have a proper definition, it is thus able to acquire several different meanings, one of them being a system that does not pay tribute to the past but to the re- construction of the future. The validity of the theoretical reconstruction is strengthened by the Colombian case and its historical, political, and le- gal aspects. The quest for peace has been conducted through instruments like amnesties and reduced sanctions, showing that this is a possible path. The silence more than the words of the International Criminal Court contributed to this answer: transitional processes that do not have at their core a retributive vision, even excluding criminal sanctions, are compati- ble with the Rome Statute.

Freedom of the Press during COVID-19 Pandemic: a Comparative Overview
type: item
description: The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic hindered the maintenance of stability in many fields, including the working environment of the media sector. Therefore, the UN Human Rights Committee and the Council of Europe issued several guidelines and informative documents to ensure press freedom and the significance of the media's work during the period of the coronavirus crisis. Ac- cordingly, this article applies a comparative analyzing method to ob- serve compliance with international standards in the chosen jurisdic- tions. Firstly, several cases between media workers and governmental agencies in Northern Europe countries are reviewed from the human rights perspective. Subsequently, the governmental bills and amend- ments to Hungarian and Russian laws are commented on through an interpretative lens. Finally, challenges brought by the new standards and regulatory norms are assessed on grounds of the protection of health and public safety. The same approach is followed in Azerbaijan's legal framework, where specific amendments have been introduced to both the Code of Administrative Offenses and the Criminal Code. These amend- ments explicitly prohibit the dissemination of disinformation during emergencies, especially when it poses a real and imminent threat to the life and health of individuals. Furthermore, corresponding legal provisions have been analyzed, outlining sanctions such as admin- istrative imprisonment or deprivation of freedom in the respective codes. In the end, guided by the global standards of international and regional human rights organizations, recommendations are indicated for developing a legal policy against disinformation.

Capturing Killer Acquisitions in Digital Markets under the European Union Merger Control Rules
type: item
description: A few years ago, a novel development identified as "Killer Acqui- sitions" surfaced within the domain of EU Merger Control: incumbent undertakings were under suspicion of acquiring promising startups with the intent of eliminating prospective market competitors. Big Tech companies in digital markets are among the usual suspects in this kind of transaction. While this strategy can surely serve to cement incumbent platforms' dominant position in the digital markets, the issue resides in the impracticability of capturing these acquisitions within the framework of EU Merger Control regulations due to the impossibility of complying with the stipulated threshold requirements which respectively brought about the enhancement of the European Commission's toolbox. This paper will display the options to carry out those amendments and what options were opted for. It will address whether the proposed methodo- logies for addressing killer acquisitions represent viable solutions to the issue. This paper aims to clarify the challenges faced by digital platforms engaged in business operations and strategic merger and acquisition plan- ning within the European Union. This work's focus is also on elucidating the challenges that digital platforms engaged in business operations and mergers and acquisitions within the EU may confront.

Prefazione al Volume 5, Numero 1
type: item
description: Cari lettori, è per me un grande piacere presentarvi l'ultimo volume della Trento Student Law Review. Ancora una volta, gli articoli che ospitiamo offrono nuove prospettive e punti di vista su questioni giuridiche attuali di grande importanza non solo per la comunità accademica ma anche per i professionisti del settore. In generale, questo volume tratta una serie di argomenti pertinenti alle questioni giuridiche contemporanee, tra cui il populismo costituzionale, la moderazione dei contenuti online, i casi di ruling fiscale e i diritti di uso del suolo in Cina. Ogni articolo fornisce un'analisi unica, contribuendo a una comprensione più approfondita del complesso panorama giuridico in un mondo globalizzato. Il primo brano, intitolato Criminal and Constitutional Populism Under the Aristotelian Framework di Giacomo Cotti, esamina il fenomeno moderno del populismo costituzionale utilizzando la teoria della giustizia di Aristotele. Cotti sostiene che la concezione di Aristotele della giustizia non può essere separata dalla politica e dalle virtù e che questo quadro è particolarmente utile per valutare la presunta costituzione deviante della democrazia. Attraverso una valutazione dei campi del diritto costituzionale e penale, Cotti dimostra come le teorie di Aristotele possano fornire utili spunti sul fenomeno moderno del populismo costituzionale. In seguito, abbiamo Content Moderation: How the EU and the U.S. Approach Striking a Balance between Protecting Free Speech and Protecting Public Interest di Rrita Rexhepi, articolo che esplora la questione della moderazione dei contenuti, che sta diventando sempre più rilevante nell'era della politicizzazione e dei social media. Rexhepi esamina come la condivisione di contenuti sia regolamentata sia nell'UE che negli Stati Uniti, identificando i vantaggi e gli svantaggi di entrambi gli approcci. Sebbene entrambe le regioni abbiano adottato misure per regolamentare i contenuti online, esistono significative differenze nei loro a…

Content Moderation: How the EU and the U.S. Approach Striking a Balance between Protecting Free Speech and Protecting Public Interest
type: item
description: The topic of content moderation is becoming increasingly relevant, as we are in an era of acute politicization and social media are now used to achieve political goals . This means that regulation is necessary to preserve democratic standards and simultaneously encourage a healthy online environment. This article aims at analyzing and comparing how content sharing is regulated respectively in the EU and U.S. and at identifying the benefits and shortcomings of both methods. It does so by using information from government agencies, social media companies, and specific cases which reflect the policies in both regions. It is evident that while both the U.S. and the EU have taken steps to regulate online content, there are significant differences. The EU chooses a more centralized approach and values the protection of users and public interest, whilst the U.S. adopts a more decentralized approach and tends to opt for the protection of free speech. Lack of transparency, over-removal, under-removal, and vague social media standards are the difficulties that both the EU and the U.S. face in regulating online content. This article recommends potential answers to these problems, including regulating platform transparency, increasing accountability, and establishing oversight bodies. Moreover, platforms are encouraged to invest in their content moderation policies by using higher-level means of finding and removing harmful content.

The Right to use Land in China: an Instrument of Economic Development?
type: item
description: This article aims to give an in-depth review of land use rights in China, comparing the similarities and differences between land use rights in China and in the Western World, with an eye specifically on Italy. From a historical perspective, we will try to understand how the entire system evolved to the point in which it is today. We will discuss land leasing as a form for cities and local governments to have a steady source of revenue genuinely within their control and the process of land conversion. We will analyze how the land use system became a sort of zoning arrangement for China. We will see what is the role of the courts in this delicate system, that balances socialist ideals and capitalistic needs, through some decisions on different aspects of the right to use land. We will try, even though it is most surely impossible, to give a complete analysis of the matter through the lenses of the comparative jurist. We will touch on some economic and financial aspects of the land use right.

Recovery of Fiscal State Aid in Tax Ruling Cases and Principles of Legitimate Expectations and Legal Certainty
type: item
description: This paper will shed a light on the application of legitimate expectations and legal certainty principles against recovery orders in tax ruling cases. Between 2014 and 2022, the European Commission's investigations and the decisions following these investigations in some member states' tax ruling practices caused a massive boom in European Union State Aid law literature. Apple, Fiat, and Starbucks cases are among the main scenarios in that storyline. Recoveries of fiscal state aid were ordered as unpaid taxes for up to ten years in the past in these cases. To illustrate, the recovery order was 13 billion euros for Apple and around 20-30 million euros for Fiat and Starbucks decisions. Most interestingly, pleading general principles of European Union law such as legitimate expectations and legal certainty principles against recovery orders did not succeed in opposing the estimations. Therefore, this paper will try to address the application of legitimate expectations and legal certainty principles against recovery orders. The main focus will be how these principles should be applied when it deals with the novel and unpredictable interpretations of European Union State Aid rules. To this end, the clear examples from the Apple, Fiat, and Starbucks tax ruling cases will be drawn. This paper will argue that legitimate expectations and legal certainty principles should not be applied in a restrictive way.

Prefazione al Volume 4, Numero 2
type: item
description: È con grande soddisfazione che scrivo queste parole in prefazione al Volume 4 Numero 2 della Trento Student Law Review. Si tratta della soddisfazione per un lavoro ben fatto, della gratitudine per una squadra coesa e preparata e per dei contributi che sono - ciascuno nel proprio settore giuridico-disciplinare - di grande attualità. Ecco che la Trento Student Law Review ambisce a dare un'altra volta un umile contributo al dibattito dottrinale, portando all'attenzione dei nostri lettori tematiche affrontate con taglio critico. In apertura di questo volume un articolo che si focalizza su uno dei punti caldi della geopolitica attuale - lo stretto di Taiwan - e sugli strumenti legislativi impiegati dalla Repubblica popolare cinese nel contrasto sull'indipendenza e sovranità taiwanese. The one China principle and its legal consequences, domestically and abroad: the disputed control over Taiwan and the anti-secession law. Much Ado about Nothing? indaga dunque i principi di diritto internazionale in materia di sovranità statale e il dibattito tanto pubblico quanto accademico circa l'esistenza della Republic of China (Taiwan). In The encryption paradox: fostering security by threatening security centrale sarà la tensione tra criptazione come strumento a presidio della libera informazione e del diritto alla riservatezza nelle comunicazioni digitali da un lato, e esigenze di pubblica sicurezza e sicurezza nazionale dall'altra, andando ad analizzare anche ulteriori fattori che sono incisi dall'evoluzione tecnologica. L'autore esplora dunque il bilanciamento degli interessi e le vie percorribili nella soluzione del contrasto. Un altro punto di frizione, questa volta tra principi cardine del diritto penale e tecniche investigative di polizia, è esplorato nel contributo Sting operations and entrapment defense in corruption behaviors. A systematic analysis between Italy, Europe, and the United States. Il confronto comparatisctico dell'attività di polizia giudiziaria dell'agente pro…
