Programme

General section
The general section of the course aims to examine the fundamental aspects of the state, the characteristics of the legal system, the organization of public authorities, the sources of law, the effects of Italy's participation in the European Union and international law, the system of territorial autonomy, the protection of fundamental rights and the guarantees provided for this purpose by the national legal system, the activities of public administration, the origins, models, and development of constitutional justice.


Special section
The course then aims to explore the legal concept of security, especially in relation to the protection of rights. This difficult balance between the “right to security” and the “security of rights” will be examined in light of constitutional and supranational case law in particularly sensitive contexts such as the deprivation of personal liberty.
