Abstract

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. © 2022 Societa Editrice il Mulino.
