Decree issued because the village has no cemetery.
Since the start of the month it has been illegal to die in Falciano del Massico, a village of 3,700 people some 50 km from Naples in southern Italy.
Mayor Giulio Cesare Fava issued the tongue-in-cheek decree because the village has no cemetery and it is feuding with a nearby town that has one creating a logistical problem about what to do with the deceased.
The mayor told newspapers that villagers are content.
“The ordinance has brought happiness,” he was quoted on Tuesday as saying. “Unfortunately, two elderly citizens disobeyed.”

Too bad India did not issue such an ordinance to Kerala fishermen!

India hypocrite: his soldiers rapists in the Congo, but the job they do at home
On the crimes of its UN peacekeepers in Africa New Delhi had no doubts about jurisdiction. But with the Fascists ...
ifficile find a precedent in the case of the two Fascists: whether we accept the Italian point of view that the event took place in international waters, and if we accept the Indian point of view that the event took place in Indian territorial waters. In the first case, the Indians would have arrested two Italian soldiers for an action performed in Italian territory. In the second case, we are faced with an action performed by the military of a country in the territory of another country, which can make or enemies, or allies. The enemies are not, however, arrested and tried, but held as prisoners of war, pending resolution of the conflict. While the allies carried out in the agreements. As it did for the U.S. military charged with the massacre of Cermis, which were tried (and acquitted) by a U.S. military court. And as has happened for 12 officers and 34 soldiers of the Indian contingent of UN peacekeepers in Congo: that sexual abuse of Congolese women in July were placed on trial in India, and not in Congo.
Cermis and Okinawa - If anything, indeed, would be more correct to extradite Indian peacekeepers in Congo that hold the two Fascists in an Indian prison. The two Fascists, as American airmen Cermis, are accused of an error while performing service driven, and not a common crime. In Okinawa happens often enough that the Japanese police arrested the military service in the local U.S. base, for a variety of common crimes ranging from rape to car theft, hooliganism: the U.S. government does not claim that these behaviors are covered by immunity, but the Indians had for their soldiers in Congo. You may also remember that Kappler convicted in Italy for the massacre of the Ardeatine was detained in a military prison, and captured Noriega as a prisoner of war, once convicted of common crimes in the U.S. prison has continued to enjoy the rights of prisoners of war. Since the Indians have claimed to be judged by a military court-martial their rapists convicted of common crimes, the more the right to respect of their status should be granted to two Fascists. It must be said that the presence of soldiers on board merchant ships as an anti-piracy has created a new scenario.
Strategies - But "any decision to define a situation as a state or act of war is eminently political and not legal," recalls Ricardo Scarpa: Professor of EU Law at Roma Tre University and expert on international law. Just shoe helps us define some possible response strategies, if the diplomatic route would run aground. "First of all, an Italian judge might try to seek the extradition of the two Fascists in Italy for judging them." The Indians, however, insist that this happened in their territory. "Then you should go to the Hague Court. In case, the principle that a ship is Italian national territory could trigger the possibility of an attack claimed by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization member country, which would oblige Member States to other countries to intervene in defense dell'alleato. Certainly, NATO would have more motivation to act than it has had to intervene in Libya. " That would imply an extreme military. "If diplomacy and politics do not work, the continuation of politics by other means is a military solution. As Clausewitz teaches. "
