Il controllo giurisdizionale sulla designazione di un paese d’origine sicuro dopo le sentenze CV e ALACE

The article examines the application of the notion of safe country of origin in light of the recent judgments of the Court of Justice of the Eu- ropean Union in CV (2024) and Alace and Canpelli (2025), which reaffirmed the need for full judicial review of the designation of safe countries. After reconstructing the genesis of the Italian “judicial saga,” marked by intense litigation on the implementation of both national and EU rules, the Au- thors analyse the impact of the Court’s decisions on national practice, in- cluding accelerated and border procedures and the Italy-Albania Protocol. The contribution also considers the comparative experience of other Eu- ropean legal systems and concludes by highlighting the implications for the dialogue between courts.
