Voráček, Michal ; Vochocová, Lenka (advisor) ; Groman, Martin (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with media freedom in the Visegrád Group countries (Czechia, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary) from the perspective of professional journalists. It aims to map how journalists in these four countries perceive freedom in relation to their profession - how they understand the concept of freedom of expression, what threatens freedom of expression or freedom of the media according to them, how free they feel in their profession and what is the trend regarding media freedom in the coming years in their opinion. The theoretical part thoroughly captures the historical development of freedom of expression, its legal protection in constitutional documents and international conventions, the limits of freedom of expression as well as forms of its restriction. It also introduces the most important non-governmental non- profit organizations monitoring media freedom in the world and presents the media environment in each country. The theoretical part also pursues the perception and approach of professional journalists to freedom of expression, media freedom and other journalistic concepts and values. The analytical part then follows a journalistic professional discourse in the form of a qualitative analysis based on semi-structured in-depth interviews with active journalists from the Visegrád...

Davidová, Barbora ; Balaš, Vladimír (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with regional protection of freedom of expression with focus on the media. The aim of the thesis is to carry out a comparative analysis of the relevant regional documents concerning human rights protection and particularly of the selected case- law of the European Court of Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights regarding freedom of expression of the media. I will find out where the differences or, on the other hand, the similarities of the courts' approaches to a different topics are. The thesis is divided into three parts. The first, introductory part deals with the theoretical grounding of the media and the issue of media freedom of expression from the perspective of historical development and international law. The second part focuses on protection of the freedom of expression of the media within two regional systems of human rights protection: the European and the Inter-American systems. With the help of Czech and foreign reference literature, both regional human rights protection systems are presented in separate subchapters, focusing at first on the procedural aspect - on the questions of who can claim the protection, from which authority and in what way; and whether a journalist himself, or perhaps a media owner, who believes their right to freedom...

1 Abstract Selected aspects of the freedom of expression in the context of the European Court of Human Rights case law The rigorous thesis is divided into two parts. The first part presents the theoretical grounding of the topic. The first chapter describes the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), the proceedings before the ECtHR, and its anchoring within the Council of Europe. The second chapter of the first part is devoted to the regulation of freedom of expression, both from a national and international perspective, which describes in detail the regulation of freedom of expression in the European Convention on Human Rights, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. The second part of the work is divided into thematic chapters, which focus on case law on freedom of speech and privacy, online environment, religious expressions, hate speech, and media diversification, and resource protection.

Kautská, Anna ; Patěk, Daniel (advisor) ; Horáček, Tomáš (referee)
Discrimination againts consumer in the provision of goods and services Abstract The topic of this thesis is the prohibition of discrimination of consumers in the provision of goods and services. Recently, this issue has been the object of interest thanks to the Constitutional Court's judgment from 17 April 2019, in which the Constitutional Court dealt with consumer discrimination directly. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the concept of discrimination in the area of provision of goods and services and to compare the principle of non-discrimination with other principles acting in conflict. For this reason, the thesis is divided into two main parts. The introduction is followed by the first part that is fully devoted to the analysis of the concept of consumer discrimination and other terms related to it. The second part of the work deals with the principles against which the principle of non-discrimination directly acts. The first part, entitled Consumer Discrimination, is divided into five subchapters. The main introductory chapter deals in detail with the analysis of the concept of discrimination and deals with discriminatory criteria in individual subchapters. The second chapter mentions cases of different treatment, which by law are not and cannot be considered as discrimination of the consumer. The...

Political and Civic Rights in Cuba in the light of Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement between Cuba and the European Union
Chamrádová, Adéla ; Krausz Hladká, Malvína (advisor) ; Knutelská, Viera (referee)
8. 5. 2019 Abstract Diploma thesis Political and Civic Rights in Cuba in the light of the Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement between Cuba and the European Union Adéla Chamrádová Institute of Political Science Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University 2018/2019 This diploma thesis is dealing with the compliance of human rights in Cuba related to the Political Dialogue and Cooperation Agreement that Cuba has concluded with the European Union at the end of 2016. Every EU's trade, cooperation or political dialogue agreement with third states has to contain a so-called human rights clause. This clause guarantees that both sides comply with human rights, democracy and the rule of law principles. The objective of my thesis is, therefore, to investigate if Cuba has indeed made a progress in the area of human rights under the influence of this treaty. I focus on political and civic rights, as Cuba continues to be criticized by the international community for their long-term violation. The subject of my research will be freedom of expression and thought and right to peaceful assembly and association.
