Learning outcomes

The course proposes a critical survey of the emergency constitutional Law and focuses on the consti-tutional systems of emergency. The course provides to analyze the instruments for an understanding of relationship between consti-tutional law and legal definition of emergency, examining how the emergencies influence the funda-mental rights guaranteed by the Constitution and how the priority of constitutionalism is balance free-dom and security. The area of emergencies will be developed on many areas involving the sources of law, the constitutional law of war. The course analyzes the rights and the changes of system of government during the time of emergencies. The course provides to analyze how a government or division of government (i.e. on a municipal, provincial/state level) may declare that their area is in a state of emergency. This means that the government can suspend and/or change some functions of the executive, the legislative and/or the judiciary during this period of time. A government can declare a state of emergency during a time of natural or human-made disaster. The course provides an introduction to the basic constitutional prin-ciples of emergency during a period of natural or human made disaster.
