United States of America (State) v. Giannetti and Puccetti (individuals)

Author(ity)

Supreme Court of Cassation

Date of the decision, of the judgment

25/02/1993

Points of law

The decision is concerned with legitimacy of collective dismissals of the local personnel of NATO Headquarters.

Summary of the case

Working relations between Italian citizens and a foreign NATO Member State are governed by the Italian law, according to the London Convention of June 19, 1951, on the Status of the Armed Forces of the Atlantic Alliance stationed in the territory of an allied State. Yet, the regime of collective dismissals and of the protection of employment does not apply to the above relations, in the light of the non-entrepreneurial nature of the employer.
