Stand of the Council of Europe on the capital punishment in states with the observer status
Burešová, Jana ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
Death penalty issues are a much discussed topic. Even though many states have abolished the capital punishment, there still constantly reappear tendencies to its restoration. On the other hand the states, which have not revoked executions, are not about to change their stance. The strongest international opponent of death penalty is clearly the Council of Europe. This Bachelor thesis follows the development of the move to abolish the capital punishment and the current situation in Japan, which has been granted the observer status with the Council. The paper also researches when and how the Council of Europe joined this process and the enforceability of its regulations in relation to Japan. The modified spiral model of human rights change is used to analyse the situation.

Nation versus State: A Case Study of Kosovo
Kešelj, Nina ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Cibulková, Petra (referee)
The bachelor thesis analyses legal and political aspects of Kosovo's secession from Republic of Serbia in attempt to determine if it is really sui generis, as it used to be claimed by the Kosovo's independence supporters. The theoretical part analyses the basic Constitutional and International Law requirements that a state is supposed to meet in order to reach international recognition. Besides, it provides a description of different forms of right of self - determination and discusses the circumstances, under which a nation would be entitled to claim a remedial secession from the home state. The empirical part examines specific circumstances of the former Yugoslavia's disintegration and the legal position of Kosovo as an autonomous province of Serbia in the period from 1974 -- 1999, in attempt to determine if Kosovo Albanians have ever had a legal entitlement to the secession from Serbia. Besides, in order to enquire whether Kosovo's secession could be considered an example of the remedial secession, the work provides a historical analysis of the Albanian-Serbian relations in Kosovo, with a highlight on the period from the Second World War on, as well as the analysis of the war crimes and alleged organ trafficking, that has recently re-emerged in the Council of Europe.

Neighborly relations in the Czech and German social discourse
Petráňová, Zuzana ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Cibulková, Petra (referee)
Even nowadays, many key negotiations between the Czech Republic and Germany are being complicated by the two possible perspectives on the interpretation of certain moments in common history and of several legal acts. This paper will try to focus on the developement of relations between the Czech Republic and Germany from the ratification of the Czech-German declaration in 1997 to the year 2007. Closer attention will be paid to an analysis of the developement of the relations after five and ten years. Because of the size of the issue I will specifically concentrate on the analysis of the media discursus of the "Hospodářské noviny" journal and the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" journal. The goal of this resarch is to find out how did the relationships change in the ten year period from the ratification of the Czech-German declaration and if the problems came to an end. The analysis shows that the declaration didn't lead directly to overcoming the problems. The difficulties of the past are still emerging from time to time. From this we can anticipate their continuous reappearances even in the future and assume that it will take a long time for the situation to become absolutely calm.

The Economic Diplomacy in Relations between the Czech Republic and Mexico
Marešová, Kateřina ; Peterková, Jana (advisor) ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (referee)
The role of the economic diplomacy is very important for the Czech Republic. Because of the small extent of the Czech Republic and strong international competition it is necessary to have a well prepared presentation strategy of the Czech products, Czech industry and the country in itself. The Czech exporters are mostly oriented towards the European countries, since the business negotiation and communication is easier and more comprehensible than with other non-European countries. Czech exporters, in order to export to Mexico, need to overcome the language barrier and get used to specialities in Mexican negotiating. Few authorities of the Czech economic diplomacy are assisting while undergoing these procedures. CzechTrade, Czech Embassy in Mexico and above all its business-economic section help to arrange contacts and give advice concerning the administrative steps right in Mexico. Czech exporters have more possibilities how to show the interest in cooperation with Mexico, e. g. participating the business mission, fairs or exhibitions. Entry of the Czech Republic into the European Union had a positive effect on the rate of bilateral trade, which proves the trade balance. Although some Czech firms are prospering in Mexico, the market potential of Mexico is not utilized entirely.
