Evaluation of the results of the campaign Counter Terror with Justice - Obama and his broken promise
Husárová, Denisa ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Trávníčková, Zuzana (referee)
On the particular example of the US new motto of the foreign policy after 9/11 --War on Terror I am trying to refer to the work of the non-profit organization Amnesty International in the field of the international relations. I am pointing out its importance in the decision-making process of the political elites. My intention is to find the correlation between the persuasion of the American population in relation to its leadership or leaders based on the expressed promises in the election campaign. As the object of my work I have chosen the current US President - Barack Obama whose one of his five main promises declared in the campaign was to defeat the terrorism, detain and adequately punish the masterminds of attacks from the September 2001 for the committed crimes. This point comprises the significant change from the approach of his predecessor and so the closure of the Guantanamo military base as a symbol of modern torture and denial of human rights which serves as a detention camp for the suspects of terrorism for more than 14 years now. This was a daring commitment but he gained millions of supporters thanks to it. This option comprised the expectations of sophisticated solutions for tens of substantial issues, including meeting the objective of punishment of the terrorists and establishment of deterrent precedent for any other similar attempts. Obama failed to accomplish it.

Husárová, Denisa ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Druláková, Radka (referee)
The case study deals with one of the most famous and successful non-governmental organizations - Amnesty International. The case study consists of three parts - the first chapter, which is focused on the theoretical approaches to the issue of NGOs and human rights and on the by organization used strategies in the effort to reach its goals. In the second chapter I describe the organization, the period of its establishment, progressive development, extending of the agenda and also of the member base, strengthening of the legitimacy in the society. In the third chapter I use up the theoretical knowledge from the first two chapters applicated into practice. The purpose of my work is to sum up the usage and the effectiveness of the studied strategies demonstrated on the campaign Counter Terror with Justice.
