Access info in the poster!

On December 10 and 11 we'll host a special event dedicated to the Theory of proof in refugee status determination:

Beyond Credibility. The evaluation of Evidence in the European Asylum System.

The event seeks to foster a network of jurists—both practitioners and theorists—engaged with the complex challenges of evidentiary assessment in the context of refugee status determination in Europe. The conference aims to provide professionals with practical tools and researchers with comprehensive insights into an area of evidentiary law that remains underexplored. The normative, evidentiary, and philosophical dimensions under discussion hold particular significance in view of the recent reforms to the European Asylum System.

All are invited!

On tuesday 5, at Università La Sapienza University (Rome), Giovanni Tuzet and Elena Marchese will speak about evidence and truth in Franco Cordero's works.

An article has been published in the German Law Journal, written by Damiano Canale, Giovanni Tuzet and Alessio Sardo, dedicated to a recent decision of the German Constitutional Court: in this decision the judges of Karlsruhe apply for the first time the "scenario analysis" to evaluate whether the environmental policies adopted in Germany are suitable to protect the rights of future generations. A decision that will make history, for sure.

E' uscito sul German Law Journal un articolo, scritto da Damiano Canale, Giovanni Tuzet e Alessio Sardo, dedicato a una recente decisione della corte costituzionale tedesca: in questa decisione i giudici di Karlsruhe applicano per la prima volta "l'analisi per scenari" per valutare se le politiche ambientali adottate in Germania sono idonee a tutelare i diritti delle generazioni future. Una decisione che farà storia, sicuramente.
