Intese tecniche in materia di rimpatri, obblighi di pubblicazione dei trattati internazionali e diritto di accedere alle informazioni in possesso della pubblica amministrazione in una recente sentenza del Consiglio di Stato

A recent judgment of the Consiglio di Stato, the Italian highest administrative court, confirmed that technical arrangements concluded at ministerial level are not treaties and therefore the Italian Government is not obliged to publish their texts. The article critically analyses the judgment both from the perspective of the international law on treaties and from the perspective of the right to obtain information, protected by art. 10 ECHR. It concludes that there is room to litigate a denial to publish such arrangements under the latter article.
