Minorities in Czech and Polish law
Řezníková, Sylva ; Pomahač, Richard (advisor) ; Adamec, Martin (referee)
Minorities in Czech and Polish law Abstract This thesis is devoted to a comparison between the legal regulation of national and ethnic minorities in Czech and Polish law. These two jurisdictions have been selected for comparison due to partly shared legal culture, linguistic proximity, and comparable modern history. The analysis is focused on guarantees provided to national and ethnic minorities in both countries and reveals that while there are many similarities between the two legal cultures, the legal systems differ in numerous ways. In both countries, the basic legal guarantees to minorities are regulated in the constitutions and additionally, legal guarantees to minorities are dealt with comprehensively in acts devoted solely to national and ethnic minorities, i.e., the Act on the rights of persons belonging to national and ethnic minorities, Act No. 273/2001 Coll. in the Czech Republic, and the Act of 6 January 2005 on national and ethnic minorities and on the regional language, (Dz.U. 2005 Nr 17 poz. 141). Both comprehensive minority acts regulate similar fields, such as the right to education in minority languages, the right to dissemination and reception of information in minority languages, the right to multilingual signs and inscriptions, the right to use one's forename and surname in a minority...

Pál, Ádám ; Scheu, Harald Christian (advisor) ; Petráš, René (referee)
The right to participate as part of the European protection of national minorities Abstract This thesis provides an insight into the subject of the right of national minorities to effective participation, especially in the light of the European regional level of minority rights regulation. The main goal of the work is to define the specific means and procedures whereby states can ensure the effective participation of persons belonging to national minorities in various areas of public life. The Council of Europe's Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities serves as the focal point of the work, as it so far contains the only legally binding provision at European level guaranteeing minorities the right to effective participation. The thesis itself is divided into four chapters. The initial chapter of the work provides an overview of the right to effective participation in a general sense in the context of international protection of human rights. In the second chapter the author scrutinizes the position of the right to effective participation in documents on minority protection at universal and regional level, as well as in other international conventions that may be relevant in this regard. The following chapters of the work focus predominantly on the above-mentioned Framework Convention....

Representation of National Minorities in the Parliaments of the Post-Yugoslav States
Ďurišová, Johana ; Höfer, Karel (advisor) ; Šárovec, Daniel (referee)
Skúmanie štátov bývalej Juhoslávie je vďaka nesustále pretrvávajúcemu napätiu a sporom medzi jednotlivými etnickým skupinami naďalej aktuálnou témou. Nesporne dôležitým faktorom pri zmierňovaní medzietnického napätia je inkluzívna politika voči národnostným menšinám, ktorá môže predchádzať pocitu vylúčenia a marginalizácii menšinových záujmov najmä legálnou podporou reprezentácie národnostných menšín v parlamente. Takáto forma reprezentácia dáva národnostnej menšine možnosť podieľať sa na tvorbe politiky, rozhodovacom procese a deľbe moci a získať sebavedomie, že jej záujmy sú zastupované. Práve reprezentácia národnostných menšín v štátoch bývalej Juhoslávie je vpredmetom výskumu tejto bakalárskej práce, pričom na reprezentáciu je nahliadané najmä z hľadiska toho, akým spôsobom získavajú národnostné menšiny kreslá v parlamente a aký vplyv má volebný systém a jeho špecifické opatrenia na výsledné zastúpenie národnostných menšín v legislatívnom orgáne. Hlavným cieľom práce je tieto podmienky nadobúdania deskriptívnej reprezentácie navzájom porovnať a zároveň porovnať vplyv jednotlivých volebných systémov a špeciálnych opatrení využívaných v danej oblasti na mieru zastúpenia národnostných menšín v jednotlivých parlamentoch. Pre porovnanie daných reálii je využívaná komparatívna metóda. V úvode práce sú...
