A seguito della revisione dell’art. 9 Cost. il rapporto tra conflitti armati e danni ambientali può certamente essere indagato in una prospettiva costituzionale dagli esiti particolarmente fecondi. E infatti, il nuovo principio, in piena coerenza con l’approccio integrato One Health, positivizzando l’interdipendenza tra le varie comunità di organismi viventi e l’ambiente fisico in cui sono immersi, anche in una dimensione di responsabilità intergenerazionale, ha implicitamente introdotto limiti ulteriori alla gestione dei conflitti bellici, rafforzativi del “ripudio della guerra” di cui all’art. 11 Cost. Considerando, infatti, che ogni azione bellica danneggia le matrici fondamentali per la vita (aria, acqua, suolo e cibo), le scelte politiche in caso di conflitti armati dovranno ritenersi vincolate anche dalla tutela dell’equilibrio ecologico della biosfera e dei suoi differenti ecosistemi. Il mutamento di prospettiva costituzionale configura, allora, il ‘ripudio’ della guerra come dovere costituzionale dell’Italia di farsi “attore di pace” che viene adempiuto nella continua ricerca di dialogo e soluzioni diplomatiche volte a costruire la pacifica convivenza.

Abstract
Following the revision of art. 9 Cost. the relationship between armed conflicts and environmental damage can certainly be investigated from a constitutional perspective with particularly fruitful outcomes. In fact, the new principle - in full coherence with the integrated One Health approach - has implicitly introduced further limits on the management of war conflicts, by positivizing the interdependence between the various communities of living organisms and the physical environment in which they areimmersed, adding a dimension of intergenerational responsibility and therefore reinforcing the “repudiation of war” referred to in art. 11 Cost. Furthermore, having considered that every military action damages the fundamental matrices for life (air, water, soil and food), the political choices which need to be taken during armed conflicts must also be considered constrained by the protection of the ecological balance of the biosphere and its different ecosystems. The change in constitutional perspective thus configures the ‘repudiation’ of war as Italy's constitutional duty to become a “peacemaker”, which is fulfilled in the continuous search for dialogue and diplomatic solutions aimed at building peaceful coexistence.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
