Pictures of the day- 21 March 2024

The scientific outcomes of our workshop on “European Investigation Order (EIO) and the Acquisition of ‘Communications’. Analysis of Italian and European Case Law” on March 21, 2024, have truly satisfied us.

In the light of European law and Court of Justice case law, it enabled us to make sense of the various investigative activities allowed by the Italian order, as well as the concepts of data and communications in general.

It was feasible to highlight the important concerns from the perspectives of judges and lawyers, as well as students and civil society representatives, during the speakers’ and other participants’ discussions.

We appreciate our knowledgeable speakers!

Dalia,” DSG UNISA, with the first lesson of the Law Clinic “EU Cooperation on Justice and Home Affairs: Insights”, which will be devoted to a workshop entitled “European Investigation Order (EIO) and the acquisition of ‘communications’ – Analysis of Italian and European case law“.

The workshop’s goal will be to address the contentious and current issue of acquiring digital communications data in the context of an EIO. The methodology will include an examination of some recent rulings of the Italian Court of Cassation, which, in light of conflicting arrests on the subject, have resulted in a referral to the United Sections (Cass., Sez. Un., c.c. 29 February 2024, provisional information nos. 3-4/2024), as well as a comparison with case law from the Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights.

The workshop will take the form of a debate between Dr. Antonino Santoro, Preliminary Investigation Judge of the Court of Naples, Prof. Teresa Russo, holder of the Jean Monnet Chair EUVALWEB and Associate Professor of European Union Law, DSG UNISA, and Prof. Donatello Cimadomo, Associate Professor of Criminal Procedure, DSG UNISA, with Dr. Stefano Busillo and Dr. Emanuele Vannata, EUVALWEB tutors and students of the Criminal Procedure course and the Law Clinic EUVALWEB, as a simulation of the adversarial process for balancing the guarantees of the rights of defence and the investigation and prosecution of crimes.

Pictures of the day – 1 December 2023

The findings of the international conference on ‘Cooperation for the Protection of Human Rights in the Context of Migration and Asylum in the EU‘, which took place on December 1, 2023, as part of the EUVALWEB Legal Clinic, ‘EU Cooperation in Justice and Home Affairs: Knowledge’, are greatly valued!

Despite the intricate nature of the topic, the speakers offered insightful and comprehensive talks about the different weaknesses in the defence of migrant rights. The conference also adopted an interdisciplinary approach, integrating criminal procedure law, international law, European Union law, national and international criminal law, and migration law before concluding with constitutional law and assurances of legal certainty for the protection of migrant rights.

The day’s photo album can be found at this LINK.
