Sumario:This recent judgment of the International Court of Justice (February 3, 2012) brings to reflection different legal questions related to events that occurred during the Second World War, which are still producing effects today.Beyond the legal content that we will comment on below, it is important to highlight the growing relationship between International Law and Domestic Law, as evidenced in the ruling we are commenting on.Germany introduced the instance for violations of international legal obligations that Italy would have committed not respecting in its judicial practice the immunity from jurisdiction recognized to Germany by International Law, invoking the European Convention for the Peaceful Settlement of Disputes of April 29, 1957.
