  • Regeni Case has raised a great attention from media, the same cannot be said with regard to International law commentators. There are, however, some International law aspects deserving some reflections. The scope of the paper is to understand which instruments International law can provide in order to ascertain the truth on tortures and the arbitrary violation of Giulio Regeni’s right to life and on those responsible for those acts. First of all, the Egyptian state has violated International law rules on the protection of foreigners and those on the protection of human rights. Secondly, the Italian Government could, and still can, exercise its right to diplomatic protection, therefore, formally invoking the international responsibility of the Egyptian State, while also exercising all the available actions for the finding of a violation of fundamental rights by the same Egyptian State. Lastly, also Giulio Regeni’s family could lodge, though with some difficulties, an action against the Egyptian State before Italian judges, sustaining that the International wrongdoing was committed not only against the Italian State but also against the Regeni’s family itself.
