Carmen Barbieri
Carmen Barbieri has been a licensed lawyer in Italy since 2005; since 2020, she has been registered in the Special Register of Lawyers authorized to practice before the Supreme Court of Cassation and other higher courts. She is an expert in human rights, administrative law, and national civil law. Specializing in immigration law, she has been providing assistance to public administrations, including administrative procedures, to non-EU citizens for approximately 17 years. It is precisely in this area, where she has consulted on out-of-court and non-judicial procedures to protect the rights of migrants and vulnerable groups, that she has achieved the best results. Indeed, through her out-of-court support, she has ensured that the relevant administrations comply with the deadlines for completing administrative proceedings, even where these were not regulated by applicable law, requesting numerous substitute interventions from the I.G.A. (General Inspectorate of Administration). For several years, she mantained a communication channel with UNAR and frequently requested the intervention of criminal authorities to combat injustices committed against migrants in public administration offices.
In December 2000, she earned a law degree from the Federico II University of Naples, where she studied and deepened are knowledge of the constitutional protection of foreigners, focusing on the Italian Constitution and the European Constitution. Therefore, from his university studies, she developed a keen interest in migrant protection, which she later pursued, specializing in immigration law. She has participated in advanced training courses on immigration law, European Union law, human rights protection (with particular emphasis on the right to family unity and the right to healthcare), and artificial intelligence, organized by prestigious institutions such as the Union des Avocats Européens, the European Law Institute (ELI), UNHCR, UNAR, EU DRAW, and several Italian universities.
