The damages regime for human rights infringements in Italy

The chapter deals with the Italian regime of damages for infringements of human rights. It analyses the regime for infringements of constitutional rights as opposed to the regime applicable to the infringements of human rights. The Author finally argues that if considered from an overall perspective, the general picture of the regime of State's liability resembles a patchwork in which each piece forms a composite framework (state's liability for violations of human rights; state's liability for violations of constitutional rights and state's liability for historical violations) , and which ultimately can only function properly if constituent parts are joined up with one another.
