The aim of the course will be the knowledge of the law of the Vatican City State and the positioning of this entity in the international legal system. The Vatican State represents a paradigmatic case of the inclusion of secular law within a confessional system.
In order to understand these phenomena of 'inclusion', the main theoretical notions concerning Vatican law will be provided, emphasizing its peculiarities both with respect to the canonical order and to other secular normative systems. The main notions relating to the international juridical personality of the Holy See and its role in international relations will be provided.
The student will thus be able to evaluate the peculiarities of the juridical system of the Vatican State and the incompleteness of the phenomenon of juridical secularization.
