The issue of the civil recognizability of the Islamic divorce by the EU Court of Justice (considerations on the ruling of December 20th 2017, C-372/16)

ABSTRACT: The present paper takes as a starting point a recent ruling by the EU Court of Justice concerning the issue of recognizability of Islamic repudiation under the EU Regulation No. 1259/2010. After assessing the conditions underlying the jurisdiction of the Court of Justice to rule on such a controversial matter, the Author excludes that the religious judgments fall within the scope of the aforementioned regulation (and within the purpose of Regulation No. 2201/2013), also in light of the so-called principle of the Union’s incompetence in ecclesiastical or religious matters. Moreover, although the unilateral repudiation is to be considered contrary to the principle of public order of the moral and legal equality of the spouses, the Author concludes that, consistently with the current trend of many legal systems to give increasing broader space to the “negotiating” management of the marriage bond, effective protection of the principle of equality should involve letting women, in some particular situations, have the choice of concretely enforcing that principle.

Religious prevention and de-radicalization measures to the test of secularity (at the margin of some of the Court’s measures of Bari).

ABSTRACT: The article examines how the terrorist emergence of Islamic matrix has reproached the issue of reconciliation between the need for security and the protection of the rights of liberty, in particular religious freedom. It highlights the need to accompany, to purely punitive nature rules, the spread of a novel paradigm, covering preventive interventions, educational and formative, in order to promote intercultural and inter-religious integration. The decree of the court, which, in accordance with the principle of secularism, has prescribed, in view of the social recovery of the subject proposed for the application of the prevention measure, a process of de-radicalization, through the involvement of an intercultural mediator, on the basis of Guide-lines developed by the University of Bari.

Codes of ethics and Deontology in the fields of Labor, Market and Finance. Freedom of Conscience and the Transition from Oeconomicus Corporatism to Democratic Intercultural Cooperation

ABSTRACT: The paper analyzes the recent relevance of deontological codes, from which a process of enriching the concept of deontology seems to emerge. This is increasingly understood not only in a corporatist way as an ethics of conduct within the category of reference, but also in a democratic way as the ethics of service made to the polis by professional communities, which now, in the overall world of work, appear ethically inspired in the most varied ways. Following the development that freedom of conscience has experienced in its various forms of collective exercise, we are positively experiencing new patterns of work organization where deontology represents a synthesis between moral and law. Similarly, to churches, even some professional communities have useful, non-utilitarian relationships, and open to democratic intercultural cooperation, with their multiform and typical ways of working in the service of the human person, elected to lifestyles or spiritual missions. In order to encourage and extend this phenomenon of greater ethical accountability of free professions, some legal channels will be analyzed to better harmonize the use of those new deontological standards with legal rules in order to ensure balance and order at a general level, and to avoid the social dissociation in neo-corporatist groups.

Pluralism in Marriage: the New Challenges of the “Overlapping Jurisdictions”

ABSTRACT: The challenges of the “new multiculturalism” in the field of marriage law regard not only which forms of marriage should be recognized by the State but also the forums in which marriage cases can be adjudicated and the role of faith-based laws and religious courts in democratic and secular legal systems. Religious groups increasingly ask for accommodation of their cultural identities; however, a growing skepticism concerning forms of religious jurisdiction is developing in regimes devoted to individual liberties, which employ public policy as grounds to vacate religious rulings. The present paper highlights the need for Western States to update and exploit the full potential of their legal instruments in order to prevent restrictions on collective and individual religious freedom in matters of marriage.

Which protection for the fundamental freedom of religious symbols?

Abstract: Starting from the analysis of the French Council of State’s decision on the case “burkini” (August 26th 2016), this paper examines the issues on the interaction between the acceptance of the religious minority’s symbols by the majority and the acceptance of the dialogue and cultural diversity. Taken into account is the process of secularism-neutrality of public space and the interference of the civil judiciary in the religious sphere declined in different models of secularism of the French, Italian and European jurisdictions.

Worship Buildings And Interculturality (The Spanish case of the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba)

ABSTRACT:After a brief exposition of theological and legal aspects (canon law) of worship buildings, also with reference to Italy, the paper focuses on Spanish system and the peculiar case of Cordoba Cathedral. From an ecclesiastical-constitutional law perspective, the Mosque has a “double essence”: “catholic cathedral” and “intercultural good”, with a potential interfaith meaning. Thus, none of the following solutions can be accepted: 1) expropriate and change the temple in a public lay museum (irritating both Christian and Islamic communities); 2) qualifying again the temple as a Mosque (after 8 centuries of Christian worship); 3) leaving it solely as a Cathedral (despite its original architecture as a Mosque); 4) make of it an interfaith temple (with the risk of syncretism). The paper suggests that a solution by an agreement between the two groups, however imperfect, is possible (and reasonable from a constitutional perspective): a partial “sharing” of the building, in a brotherhood spirit of high symbolic meaning.

ABSTRACT: The paper highlights the limits of the most well-known models of approach to cultural diversities, the assimilationist one and the communitarian one, which are typical, respectively, of France and England and of their colonial history. Italy has not remarkable colonial traditions and so it can be more free from the weight of the past in developing strategies able to face up to the problems of the multi-ethnic and multi-religious societies. Starting from the basic principles of pluralism and secularism (principio supremo di laicità, according to the words of Italian Constitutional Court), are examined the “Carta dei valori della cittadinanza e dell’integrazione” (15th June 2007) and the recent “Patto nazionale per un Islam italiano” (1st of February 2017). From a more general point of view, the paper describes and supports the thesis of Jacques Maritain about the foundation of human rights, the basis of a peaceful coexistence in a pluralistic society. Finally, it deals with the issue of teaching about religion and history of religions in Italian public schools. These kinds of courses should help students to get to know the religions present in our country - both the historical ones and the “new” ones, coming from the recent processes of immigration - in order to promote and increase the mutual respect and the inter-cultural dialogue.

ABSTRACT: This article aims at analyzing the relationship between citizenship and religion, taking its inspiration from the Thomas Hobbes’ thought. The Author try to propose a dialogue-based approach between the two different conceptual categories, also considering the fibrillations of today’s geo-political scenarios, starting from the Mediterranean area. In this perspective, he thinks that we need a necessary "transfiguration" of the Leviathan in order to promote – through a fertile dialogue between aims and values – a deeper revision of both the concept of sovereignty and the role of a constitutional State. Which is even more relevant with the reference to the issues of today’s multicultural society.
