Tutela dei minori e prospettive di bilanciamento di diritti fondamentali 

ABSTRACT: L’articolo analizza il complesso tema della tutela dei minori nel contesto della circoncisione rituale, individuando i diritti fondamentali da bilanciare. Il testo si concentra, in particolare, sul panorama variegato delle politiche sanitarie regionali che, solo in alcuni casi, offrono copertura alla circoncisione non terapeutica, con evidenti disparità tra le varie regioni.

A comparative analysis of the misuse of PAS between Italy and the United Kingdom: an exogenous factor within family law disputes

ABSTRACT: Il presente contributo si propone di far luce sulle dinamiche e sulle strategie utilizzate dai soggetti abusivi, manipolando a proprio vantaggio il sistema giudiziario, facendo leva su stereotipi di genere ampiamente diffusi. Sempre più frequentemente i tribunali non sono in grado di proteggere adeguatamente le vittime di violenza domestica, per effetto dell’erroneo affidamento su contro-accuse di alienazione parentale, sollevate ad arte da ex partner abusivi, infondate in diritto e smentite scientificamente, e purtuttavia tenute in enorme considerazione dal giudicante. Occorre invece richiamare le corti all’attento bilanciamento dei contrapposti interessi che emergono nel contesto delle procedure di diritto di famiglia, senza prescindere dalla disamina del caso concreto e del superiore interesse di tutela della prole.

ABSTRACT: This paper aims to elucidate the dynamics and strategies employed by abusive individuals who exploit gender stereotypes to manipulate the justice system in their favor. Increasingly, courts are unable to adequately protect victims of domestic violence due to the erroneous reliance on counteraccusations of parental alienation, which are artfully raised by former abusive partners. These allegations are unfounded in law and scientifically disproven, yet they are held in enormous esteem by the judiciary. Instead, the courts should be reminded of the careful balancing of opposing interests that arise in the context of family law proceedings. This should be done without disregarding the examination of the concrete case and the overriding interest of protecting the offspring.

Interest of the Child and Parent-Child Relationship between Italian Law, International Law and European Union Law 

ABSTRACT: The notion of the “interests of the child”, although with different lexical nuances, is enshrined in international and supranational charters of rights, in European Union legislation, in Italian legislation and in judicial decisions concerning children. The paper intends to analyse the complex evolutive process that has involved the term “interests of the child” until it has become, over time, a cardinal principle of family law in its essence both as a general clause to which the legislator must conform, when it comes to the adoption of rules that implement the child’s interests, and as a hermeneutical criterion prevailing for the interpreter.

ABSTRACT: La nozione di “interesse del minore”, seppur con sfumature lessicali diverse, è sancita dalle Carte dei diritti internazionali e sovranazionali, dalla legislazione dell'Unione europea, dalla legislazione italiana e dalle decisioni giudiziarie in materia di minori. Il contributo intende analizzare il complesso processo evolutivo che ha coinvolto il termine “interesse del minore” fino a farlo diventare, nel tempo, un principio cardine del diritto di famiglia nella sua essenza sia come clausola generale a cui il legislatore deve conformarsi, quando si tratta di adottare norme che attuano l'interesse del minore, sia come criterio ermeneutico prevalente per l'interprete.

Family relationships and migrations between law, religions and culture 

ABSTRACT: In recent years, the social and multi-religious evolution of the family has contributed to redefined its morphology, varying its traits through a continuous work of cultural, ethnic and religious relocation. It frequently clashes with resistance typical of an institution that is in some ways still linked to traditional legal paradigms. It is consequently increasingly necessary to acquire technical tools that allow people to govern family relationships in the current “multicolor” context. The essay investigates the possibility of leaving ample space for private autonomy in the regulation of family relationships in the belief that in this way families are provided with flexible tools that conform to their own cultural and religious identity.

La riforma del diritto di famiglia e delle Family courts nella Repubblica di Cipro

ABSTRACT: This essay addresses the 2023 amendments to Article 111 of the 1960 Constitution of the Republic of Cyprus, as well as family law reforms in the light of the religious or belief minority rights protection, promotion, and implementation. In doing so, the article relies on the findings of the Atlas of Religious or Belief minority Rights research project. The aim is to highlight how the legal system of Cyprus is slowly detaching itself from the millet logic inherited from the Ottoman past and it is further aligning with European and international standards on the protection of minority rights in different policy areas, including family law and marriage. However, religious affiliation and religious legal systems still bear significance on some issues pertaining to family law, marriage, and dissolution of marriage.

Parents-children Relationship: The Role of Freedom of Religion and Conscience

ABSTRACT: This article analyses the most recent case law concerning the role of freedom of religion and conscience in the parents-children relationship. There are essentially two disputed issues: first, to what extend the increased capacity for choice of the child may conflict with the educational role of parents; second, in which way to promote the development of the child in an open and peaceful environment, reconciling the rights of his parents.

Latin American constitutional context. Principles guiding the regulation of the religious factor and the status of women in the family sphere

ABSTRACT: Bearing in mind the importance of constitutions in the field of legal systems, and being interested in knowing the legal status of women in the geographical area of Latin America, I turned to the constitutions of the countries in that area, starting from the analysis of the models of treatment of the religious fact chosen by the drafters of the constitutions and trying to locate the possible influence of these in the shaping of the rights of women considered as a fundamental part of the family.

Emotional relationships and legal border. Family and families in the European area from religious factors and national law to agreement strategies

ABSTRACT: The family is subject to socio-cultural changes and it is regulated differently from European legal systems. In addition, in Europe, by fall of geographical barriers and the increase of migration, there has been the spread of family models not compatible with the principles and values of the host countries resulting in legal, cultural and religious conflicts. The movement of people within the European area call for coordinated actions and/or the adoption of adaptation techniques processes to the recognition of family status and related rights. This process aims to avoid that one legal relations with internationality may undergone different and heterogeneous regulatory disciplines with implications on the effective enjoyment of fundamental rights and religious ones. This work analyzes the regulation of family law in the European judicial area to understand which path to follow in preventing that the movement of people may be hampered by the heterogeneous of national laws and the relevance of the religious factor in this context.
