The Italian Academy’s “Rule of Law” initiative, conceived by Barbara Faedda, includes the 2023 roundtable People, Rule of Law, and Supreme Courts Now, the 2024 dialogue Tales from the Legal Front Line: Philippe Sands in conversation with Monica Hakimi, and two events in 2025: the dialogue Liberation! 80 Years Since the End of World War II in Italy and the symposium Universal Rights in Practice: International Frameworks and Domestic Legal Systems.
The Academy's publication in this area is Rule of Law: Cases, Strategies, and Interpretations (2021) commissioned and edited by Dr. Faedda with essays that address racism, misinformation, human rights, the status of women, the treatment of indigenous peoples, the environment, and more.
