Svoboda, Marek ; Křesťanová, Veronika (advisor) ; Holcová, Irena (referee)
Theory and Practice of Legal Protection of Personality Rights Legal protection of personality rights is a specific and important issue, which allows every human being to enjoy his or her personality rights without any interventions. This kind of protection is grounded on the obligation of the society as a whole to respect human dignity and the inviolability of personality of every individual. Based on findings contained in my diploma thesis, the Czech legislation pays considerable attention to the protection of personality rights especially in the provisions of the Civil Code and the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, both providing legal guarantees for defending oneself against illegally attacked parts of human personality. This kind of legal protection is supported by the effectiveness of the new Civil Code; unlike the previous Civil Code, it expands the number of provisions protecting human personality rights.
