L'Autrice esamina alcuni casi emblematici di pulizia etnica del XX secolo, qualificabili come genocidio ai sensi della Convenzione sul genocidio del 1948 e della prassi e giurisprudenza: l'eliminazione degli Armeni nell'Impero ottomano durante la Prima guerra mondiale, la più conosciuta Shoah degli Ebrei in Europa durante la Seconda guerra mondiale, l'eliminazione dei Tutsi nel 1994 in Ruanda e dei Bosniaci-Musulmani nel 1995 nella regione di Srebrenica. Gli elementi del genocidio so...

Il fallimento della Conferenza di Evian, la successiva Conferenza di Monaco che ha permesso il trasferimento dei Sudeti alla Germania, la Notte dei cristalli, l'occupazione del resto della Cecoslovacchia, il caso dei rifugiati ebrei del transatlantico Saint Louis sono alcuni di questi terribili eventi che hanno caratterizzato quel periodo aprendo la strada delle forze nazi-fasciste alla pulizia dell'Europa occupata dagli Ebrei, dai Gipsy, dagli omosessuali, dai disabili e dissidenti politici, con il ricorso a crimini contro l'umanità, a crimini di guerra e al genocidio. Partendo da questi eventi, il libro ...

All the same, the trial against Saddam and some collaborators of his regime by Iraqi Higher Court (IHC) was carried out in violation of international rules. It was an almost summary justice. The IHC was created in an antidemocratic way, by the Coalition Provisional Authority as occupying force of Iraq, in contradiction with the International Covenant on civil and political rights and the fourth Geneva Convention of 1949. The subse384 Flavia Lattanzi quent approval by the Iraqi Parliamentarian Assembly could not repair such genetic fault. The trial was characterized by investigations conducted before the creation of the Court itself, according to not clear rules of procedure and proof, taken by Iraqi codes, dating back to a period when the notion of fair trial where not developed as now it is. The crimes on which the IHC has competence ...

On the basis of a thorough analysis of the facts and the required mental element, the author shows that a deliberate destruction, in a substantial part, of the Armenian Christian nation as such, took place in those years. To come to this conclusion, this paper borrows the very same determinants as those used in the case-law of the Military Tribunals in occupied Germany, the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda in genocide cases. Based on the principle of tempus regit actum, this essay also discusses the law applicable to such a deliberate destruction, and tries to demonstrate tha...
