Legal Opinion on the Prosecution of Those Responsible for the Killing of Clara Petacci

The tragic death of Clara Petacci on April 28, 1945, alongside Benito Mussolini, remains one of the most poignant and controversial events in modern Italian history. Petacci, who was Mussolini’s mistress, was captured and executed by partisans in Giulino di Mezzegra. Unlike Mussolini, Petacci had no formal role in the Fascist regime and was not a participant in its political or military activities. Her death has raised significant legal and moral questions about whether justice has been served.

Legal Opinion on the Questionable Legality of the Sale of Alaska by Russia to the United States by Giovanni Di Stefano

The sale of Alaska by Russia to the United States in 1867, while historically accepted, raises significant legal questions that merit critical examination. This transaction, known as the Alaska Purchase, was concluded under the Treaty of Cession, signed on March 30, 1867. However, the legality of this sale, in my view, can be challenged on several grounds, particularly when analysed through the lens of international law principles and case law.
