 More than 5 years ago, the Italian Constitutional Court ruled that assisted suicide must be permitted under specific conditions. Yet, Parliament’s inability to legislate has left this right in legal limbo. Now, recent regional actions could break the deadlock. The Italian region of Tuscany is setting an example for other sub-national legislatures to pass laws on the matter. This blog post argues that constitutional courts, and the ItCC in particular, should not stifle this kind of activism – especially when it steps in to uphold judicial mandates that the national legislature refuses to enforce.
