The Summer Course on “Ius migrandi. History, Concept and Limits” has been organized by the University of Palermo International PhD Program on Human Rights jointly with the European Academy of Legal Theory and the Ecole doctorale de Sciences Juridiques et Politiques of the University of Paris X – Nanterre – La Défense. It will take place from the 4thto the 12th June.
Key concept. Our time is an age of migration and mobility and at the same time the age of human rights. On the one hand, the protection of individuals through human rights seems to require abandoning an exclusive territorial logic for legal and political institutions. On the other hand, states (and correlatively citizenship, as a privilege based on luck) appear to be the main tools for guaranteeing basic needs for individuals. From this perspective, limitations for immigration are reasonable and unreasonable at the same time. Some aspects of this contrast will be critically analysed. The Course will map some of its consequences and specifically the risks for the protection of human rights. Justifications and reasons of opposite trends, present in the evolution of political institutions and public policies (the tension toward global justice and the prevalence of localism, for instance), will be examined. Moreover, the study will focus on instruments able to reform intolerable iniquities.
The Summer Course will be hosted by the Dipartimento Studi su Politica, Diritto e Società (DPDS), piazza Bologni 8, 90134 Palermo.
Teaching hours will be 10.00 a.m. till 1.00 p.m. and 3.00 p.m. till 6.00 p.m.

Esiste un diritto di morire? Ammessa in Svizzera, Belgio, Olanda e in tre stati americani (Oregon, Washington e Montana), l’eutanasia genera da anni un acuto dibattito, soprattutto nei paesi che la vietano, come l’Italia. Recentemente il tema è stato riportato con forza al centro dell’attenzione pubblica dalla scelta dell’intellettuale Lucio Magri, tra i fondatori del quotidiano “il Manifesto”, di togliersi la vita a 79 anni, pur essendo in salute, venendo in Svizzera per ricorrere al suicidio assistito. In questa puntata di Moby Dick Giovanna Riva e Anna Pianezzola hanno invitato, per un dibattito intorno alla ‘libertà di morire’, Franco Cavalli, Direttore Scientifico dell’Istituto Oncologico della Svizzera Italiana, Franco Denti, Presidente dell’Ordine dei Medici del Canton Ticino e membro del comitato centrale della Società svizzera di medicina generale, e Roberto Mordacci, Professore di Filosofia morale presso l’Università Vita-Salute San Raffaele di Milano.
