International Relations of Vatican City State and measures in financial law

ABSTRACT: After having outlined the peculiarities of Vatican City State's nature, this paper examines the development of its financial law, starting with the Monetary Convention with European Union. The Holy See from 2009 makes a serious effort to adjust its law to the current needs of an increasingly globalised market. This results in a profound change in the Vatican international relations, which were previously mainly addressing Italy, in order to satisfy the territorial and material needs of a small State. Today Vatican City State has agreed to be subject to periodic controls on its financial system by international bodies. It has developed a system of international relations and it integrates into the global financial market transparency system.

I would like to focus on two connected points on the legal framework for conscientious objection. First, the peculiarity which concerns the effective exercise of that right, and second, the particular instrument regulating the relations between churches and State, concerning the system of agreements with the various denominations present in the State.
1 - Religious objection can lead to a refusal to comply with obligations imposed by State laws, which are deemed conflicting with higher
imperatives that the objector cannot waive. Such refusal may be based on religious grounds, but also ethical or ideological. (continua)

A small look into the financing systems of Churches in Europe shows that in almost all states there are forms of support to denominations, which can be expressed in allocation of a certain sum or in specific tax facilitations1. This is the result of exceeding the old separatist principle for which in any way the State may not contribute to the economic needs of denominations; second, it stems from a favorable attitude toward Churches and religion2. Even the ex-communist countries start new relationships with churches, almost all states provide new ways of financing them, usually through a direct support to their social and religious activities3. In Italy, Art. 3 of Constitution requires the State to remove all economic and social obstacles that, by limiting the freedom and equality of citizens, prevent full individual development and the participation of all workers in the political, economic, and social organization of the country.
