Para melhor abordar esta questão, a análise será dividida em duas partes. Na primeira parte, será abordado o potencial significado do argumento adotado pela Corte. Na segunda parte, a abordagem da Corte Constitucional Italiana será avaliada, com foco na sua capacidade de afetar em uma maior dimensão o desenvolvimento da prática relevante.

Summary
The judgment 238/2014, rendered by the Italian Constitutional Court has already been discussed by a number of Italian scholars. By contrast, has been paid to the potential relevance of this judgment in the further development of the international legal regime in respect of state immunity in cases of serious violations of human rights or humanitarian law. It is for this reason that this paper aims to provide some critical reflections on the issue. The potential relevance of the court’s approach, in identifying a general principle on the topic of individual access to justice, will be briefly examined, as well as its role in the formation of a customary exception to the traditional regime on state immunity in cases of serious violations of human rights or humanitarian law (para 4). Some space will be be devoted to reflecting on the possible consequences of the Solange perspective drawn by the Court on future judgments of the ICJ (ibid), as well as to the potential relevance under international law of the recourse had by the Court itself on the constitutional principles concerning access to justice
