"La convenzione di Ginevra per l´istituzione di una Corte penale internazionale sul terrorismo. Un documento da tornare a leggere"
In 1937 Italy decided not to adhere to the two Conventions promoted by the League of Nations for the prevention and repression of terrorism through the creation of an International court on terrorism. Italy’s decision was based on the theory that criminal rules are not applicable to States, and that in international law is not applicable to individuals. France, on the other hand, held the opposite view, favouring the creation of an International court on terrorism within the League of Nations, which should respect state sovereignty. At the same time this International court complied with those principles that are essential to a trial, such as "audi alteram partem" and "nemo iudex in causa propria". These two Conventions never came into force; however, through international treaties, they represent an important phase in the establishment of supranational courts with their contribution affirming " paix par le droit ".
