When I received an invitation from SAA to the final of the World Cup Rugby at Ellis Park, I was really not sure if it was worth travelling 16 hours to see a I 1/2 hour match that I could probably see much better in my own living room!!! Luckily my gut feeling got the better of me, I suppose, and Tm now in the plane on my way home after participating in a "Great Historical" sports event. Only by being there could one really feel the fantastic atmosphere and experience what the New South Africa really means." The excitement could be felt throughout the city with thousands of fans making their way to the ground all dressed up in crazy hats carrying flags of all sizes (only the New South African flag of course!). There were stands on street corners "painting" the new flag on people's faces, and, of course, folks gathered around their traditional "Braaivleis" drinking and smiling. Inside the ground the 70,000 crowd were wildly excited as they greeted the two teams who took to the field. To hear 70,000 people shouting "Nelson, Nelson" as that great man entered what was formerly the bastion and stronghold of white South African supremacy, is a moment never to be forgotten.

  • Remarks by U.S. Ambassador David Thorne
    Remarks by David Thorne, U.S. Ambassador to Rome Thank you for inviting me to this panel discussion in such illustrious company. Franco Frattini and Lamberto Dini are two experts when it comes to the European Union, and I am delighted to hear their insights. I would like to congratulate Prof. Federiga Bindi on the publication of this new book. Rather than speak in an academic manner about whether the European Union’s foreign policy is real or imagined, I thought I would speak briefly about how I in my work deal with the reality of the policies of the European Union every day. I would also like to start out by saying that for President Obama, who has sought at every turn to be multilateral in his approach, the European Union is an essential partner. In fact, I myself sometimes wonder why there is so much handwringing over the importance of Europe, because from the perspective of this administration, Europe is real, and Europe matters. For those of us who work for the USG, then, the foreign policy of the European Union is no myth, but it is a foreign policy borne both of the common interests of European countries and of the interests of individual states. For the United States or any other country to influence the European Union’s foreign policy, therefore, means engaging both in Brussels and individually with each of the Union’s members. This means that our dealings with Italy, as with all EU countries, are automatically double-pronged: we want to have input into relations bilaterally, but also to leverage each EU country’s influence in Brussels on issues of strong interest to us.

  • Schifani Renato Giuseppe (FI) Anagrafe Nato a Palermo L'11
    Schifani Renato Giuseppe (FI) Anagrafe Nato a Palermo l’11 maggio 1950. Curriculum Laurea in Giurisprudenza; avvocato; dal 2001 capogruppo di FI al senato; 3 legislature (1996, 2001, 2006). Soprannome Fronte del Riporto. Segni particolari Porta il suo nome, e quello del senatore dell’Ulivo Antonio Maccanico, la legge approvata nel giugno del 2003 per bloccare i processi in corso contro Silvio Berlusconi: il lodo Maccanico-Schifani con la scusa di rendere immuni le «cinque alte cariche dello Stato» (anche se le altre quattro non avevano processi in corso). La norma è stata però dichiarata incostituzionale dalla consulta il 13 gennaio 2004. L’ex ministro della Giustizia, il palermitano Filippo Mancuso, ha definito Schifani «il principe del Foro del recupero crediti», anche se Schifani risulta più che altro essere stato in passato un avvocato esperto di questioni urbanistiche. Negli anni Ottanta è stato socio con Enrico La Loggia della società di brookeraggio assicurativo Siculabrokers assieme al futuro boss di Villabate, Nino Mandalà, poi condannato in primo grado a 8 anni per mafia e 4 per intestazione fittizia di beni, e dell’imprenditore Benny D’Agostino, poi condannato per concorso esterno in associazione mafiosa. Secondo il pentito Francesco Campanella, negli anni Novanta il piano regolatore di Villabate, strumento di programmazione fondamentale in funzione del centro commerciale che si voleva realizzare e attorno al quale ruotavano gli interessi di mafiosi e politici, sarebbe stato concordato da Antonino Mandalà con La Loggia. L’operazione avrebbe previsto l’assegnazione dell’incarico ad un loro progettista di fiducia, l’ingegner Guzzardo, e l’incarico di esperto del sindaco in materia urbanistica allo stesso Schifani, che avrebbe coordinato con il Guzzardo tutte le richieste che lo stesso Mandalà avesse voluto inserire in materia di urbanistica.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Immunity, Italian Style: Silvio Berlusconi Versus the Italian Legal System By BRENDAN QUIGLEY* I. Introduction On December 13, 2009, billionaire Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was struck in the face by a souvenir statuette while he was greeting a nighttime crowd in Milan.! News cameras captured him grimacing, face bloodied, as he ducked into a car and was rushed away to a nearby hospital. Ever meticulous about his polished appearance, the damage to Berlusconi's face - while not serious - seemed to mirror the battering that his political image had taken in the months prior and signaled an important, while perhaps unintended, message: Mr. Berlusconi is not immune to attack. The more serious assault on Berlusconi's power and influence, however, occurred a month earlier on October 7, 2009, when the Italian Constitutional Court overturned a law that granted immunity from prosecution to the holders of Italy's four highest public offices, the Prime Minister among them.3 This was of particular importance * Co-Editor in Chief, Hastings Internationaland Comparative Law Review.
