Longobardo: The Italian Legislature and International and EU Obligations of Domestic Criminalisation

Marco Longobardo (Univ. of Westminster - Law) has posted The Italian Legislature and International and EU Obligations of Domestic Criminalisation (International Criminal Law Review, Forthcoming). Here's the abstract:

This article explores the nature and content of international and EU obligations to adopt certain criminal domestic legislation, and the impact that they have on the Italian legislature. In light of relevant international, EU, and domestic law provisions, the article investigates what is required of Italy to implement obligations of domestic criminalisation. It is argued that the Italian legislature is bound to implement obligations of domestic criminalisation both under international law and the Italian constitutional law. The article ends with an overview of the consequences under international law that Italy may face for failure to implement international and EU obligations of domestic criminalisation.
