Vulnerable Groups in Afghanistan and Human Rights
Čílová, Zuzana ; Kváča, Vladimír (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
My graduation thesis is engaged in vulnerable groups and human rights in Afghanistan. I defined women, children, handicapped and migrants as vulnerable groups. First of all I tried to describe contemporary situation and status of these vulnerable groups in Afghanistan. I tried to refer to all aspects of their vulnerability. In the next part I analyzed the roots of their vulnerability in detail. I concerned on environmental conditions, historic evolution, cultural background, economic development and development and stability of the state. In conclusion I tried to put forward a concept of solution, which should improve the situation of vulnerable groups and human rights in Afghanistan. The main actor of my analysis is a state, which from my point of view is the most important element of the development in Afghanistan. The important part of these questions is a collision of Western and Muslim culture or Afghan culture. This fact means a new very complicated dimension of vulnerable groups and human rights in Afghanistan.

Socialization in international regimes of human rights protection: Study of a constitutional review in Kenya
Šklebená, Karolína ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
Since its independence in 1963 Kenya has been considered a democratic and non-problematic country, although it had been ruled just by two different presidents until 2002. The transformation to democracy proces followed by improvement of human rights started in 1991 and it took almost twenty years to get rid of some colonial remains in Kenya's legislation. Human rights abuses which peaked during the rule of the second president of Kenya caught attention of international activists and donors during 1990s and due to pressure from inside and outside the situation has began to ameliorate. The adoption of the new Constitution in August 2010 may be considered the biggest success of human rights defenders in the country.

International Context of The Roma Minority Human Rights Protection in Slovakia
Lackovičová, Simona ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Trávníčková, Zuzana (referee)
"The Roma Problem"is one of the most serious social problems in Slovakia. Prejudices, bad relationships between non-Roma majority and Roma minority, as well as racism, Roma rights violations are the most frequently cited issues, Slovakia is criticized for. The Government of the Slovak Republic is aware of all reasons for the criticism by international organizations or non-governmental organizations, and that is why "The Roma Problem" solution has been its priority for a long time. The Slovak Republic has already accepted lots of international commitments concerning protection of minority rights (including Roma rights) that is why I have decided to find out if Slovakia meets all its commitments. My goal is to analyse if international commitments and recommendations related to human rights affect real protection of minority rights in Slovakia. I would like to evaluate if the criticism by the international organizations is adequate and find some reasons for the criticism. Last but not least I would like to propose several recommendations based on the analyses of non- governmental organizations.
