Amministrazione e Costituzione. A proposito dell’attuazione della sentenza della Corte costituzionale sull’aiuto al suicidio

The essay intends to reflect on the constitutional legality of the public administration through the analysis of the systematic implications deriving from the ruling no. 242/2019 of the Constitutional Court on medically-assisted suicide. The study of the different approaches followed by the regional health authorities in implementation of this ruling is useful to highlight the potential of a «direct dialogue», not mediated by the law of Parliament, between the public administration and constitutional jurisprudence for the protection of fundamental rights.
