Politiche migratorie e integrazione: quali indicazioni dalla Corte di Giustizia UE?
Il contributo esamina la nozione di "integrazione" degli immigrati da paesi terzi alla lice della recente la giurisprudenza della Corte di Giustizia UE.Despite the limits EU meets in the field of TNCs integration,
according to the Treaty of Lisbon, the EU Court of Justice has been
contributed in the recent years to the interpretation of the undefined
notion of “integration”. These developments can encourage an
optimistic assessment and give rise to some minimal standards, at least
with regard to the management of linguistic and civic tests, by now
regulated by several member states
Promozione della democrazia e dei diritti politici in Africa: una mission impossible per la Corte dei diritti dell’uomo e dei popoli?
Questo articolo analizza la giurisprudenza della Corte africana dei diritti dell’uomo e dei popoli, in particolar modo in relazione ai diritti politici ed elettorali. Il contributo propone una riflessione sul ruolo della suddetta corte nella promozione della democrazia, buon governo e rule of law nel continente. Nonostante alcuni rilevanti giudizi, sono numerose le persone aperte, a causa della parziale conformità degli Stati a tali pronunce e per il recesso dalla dichiarazione che rende possibile a soggetti privati e a ONG di adire la Corte. Per queste ragioni, viene sostenuto che il percorso verso la protezione dei diritti e la democrazia appare sempre più problematico.The article deals with the jurisprudence of the African Court of human and peoples’ rights, specifically involving political and electoral rights. That focus allows to reflect on the contribution of the African Court to the promotion of democracy, good governance and rule of law in the continent. In spite of relevant judgements in that field, many problems still remain, due to the partial compliance of the States concerned and the progressive withdrawl of the declaration which allows individuals and NGO’s to apply the Court. For those reasons, the path towards the protection of human rights and the consolidation of democracy appears increasingly rough
State recognition for ‘contested languages’: a comparative study of Sardinian and Asturian, 1992–2010
While the idea of a named language as a separate and discrete identity is a political and social construct, in the cases of Sardinian and Asturian doubts over their respective ‘languageness’ have real material consequences, particularly in relation to language policy decisions at the state level. The Asturian example highlights how its lack of official status means that it is either ignored or subjected to repeated challenges to its status as a language variety deserving of recognition and support, reflecting how ‘official language’ in the Spanish context is often understood in practice as synonymous with the theoretically broader category of ‘language’. In contrast, the recent state recognition of Sardinian speakers as a linguistic minority in Italy (Law 482/1999) illustrates how legal recognition served to overcome existing obstacles to the implementation of regional language policy measures. At the same time, the limited subsequent effects of this Law, particularly in the sphere of education, are a reminder of the shortcomings of top-down policies which fail to engage with the local language practices and attitudes of the communities of speakers recognized. The contrastive focus of this article thus acknowledges the continued material consequences of top-down language classification, while highlighting its inadequacies as a language policy mechanism which reinforces artificial distinctions between speech varieties and speakers deserving of recognition
