Abstract:
Discusses the implications of the European Court of Justice decision in Giuliani v Italy in which it was established that the 2001 shooting of a G8 summit demonstrator in Genoa by an auxiliary carabiniere did not constitute a breach of the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 art.2 by reason of an excessive use of force, but that it had breached its procedural aspects as a result of the inadequate investigation into his death. Considers the arguments on the use of lethal force, the criticisms of the Italian regulatory framework and the public order policing operation, the procedural dimension, and the right to life in terms of the violent context
