The Italian Yearbook of International Law, Volume 15 (2005)

The Italian Yearbook of International Law aims at making accessible to the English speaking public the Italian contribution to the practice and literature of international law. Volume XV (2005) is organised in three main sections. The first contains doctrinal contributions including articles on the implementation of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights; the UN Charter reform, focusing on the new Human Rights Council and Peacebuilding Commission and on environmental governance; and minority protection in Italy. This section includes also notes on current judicial and legislative developments in the field of terrorism, on criminal responsibility for cultural crimes and on the new environmental liability regime for Antarctica. In addition to the traditional surveys (ITLOS, ILC, WTO), this volume features a new survey on the ICJ. The second section covers the Italian practice in the areas of i) judicial decisions; ii) diplomatic and parliamentary practice; iii) treaty practice; and iv) national legislation. The third section contains a systematic bibliographical index of Italian literature in the field of international law and reviews of recent books. The volume ends with an analytical index for ready consultation that includes the main judicial cases and legal instruments cited throughout the Yearbook.
