Natural law as the basis of universal ethics?
TOMANDL, Antonín
The paper examines the development of natural law as a possible starting point for conceiving of ethic of a universal character. It is divided into two main parts, the first is devoted to the historical development and presentation of different conceptions of human nature, hence natural law, from the times of great philosophers such as Plato or Aristotle, up to John Finnis. The second part deals with natural law from the perspective of the International Theological Commission (ITC) in its more specific actualization and attempts some degree of comparison of this concept with the traditional concepts.

Practical part characterize three chosen actual conflicts: the Al- Qaeda attacks on the United States from 11th September, 2001, Chechnya war for its autonomy and current factual occupation of Iraq by allied forces. Legitimate setting in the sense of ius ad bellum, the right to defend by the use of violence, was not mostly deconstructed. In the area of ius in bello, the right in the war, the hypothesis was not verified and the particular violent action did not fulfill some of the basic principles of just war.

Issues in Masaryk´s Views on Czech Historical and Natural Law
Neudorflová, Marie L.
Since the Czech politics unsuccessfully focused from the 1860s on installing the Czech State Law as the way towards greater sovereignty of the Czech Kingdom in the Habsburg Monarchy, in the 1890s Masaryk made great efforts to propose the principle of natural law as a similarly legitimate principle for achieving more independent status for the Czech nation. In broad context the article reviews complex relevant argumentation od the period.
