The Future of Western Sahara
Juklová, Jana ; Kváča, Vladimír (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
The thesis deals with the international law situation of Western Sahara. It analyses the historical development of Western Sahara, in particular its decolonization, and by means of the analysis of the proposed solutions it tries to reach the actual status of the area and outlines some possibilities of the future development. The right of self-determination of Saharawi people is the key issue and appears in many resolutions of the United Nations dealing with Western Sahara. This territory is the topic of long-lasting disputes between Morocco and the Front Polisario. Attempts to solve the problem have lasted for many years but there has been almost no advance because of the different attitudes of the parties. Not only neighbouring countries but also other states with the special interests in the region interfere in the negotiations. Since 1991, when the ceasefire came into effect after many years of the military conflict, the proposals of solution have been refused.

Liability of the carrier in international carriage of goods
Heralecký, Antonín ; Pauknerová, Monika (advisor) ; Růžička, Květoslav (referee)
52 Resumé The growth of international trade, globalization and regional integration brings good conditions for international unification of bussiness law, especially the arrangements of international contract of sale and international contracts for carriage. Carriage is a naturally complementary to the sale. Conflicts of law or private international law has two methods how to solve cases of international contracts. One of them is the use of conflict rule that identifies certain system of law (i. e. law of particular country) to be used. In European union, there is a unified conflict rule for international contracts. It is Convention on the Law Applicable to Contractual Obligations, also called Rome Convention. The Rome convention is soon to be replaced by the so called Rome I Regulation issued by European Parliament and Council of the European Union. The leading rule of this legal form is the closest connection and characteristic fulfilment. The contracts for carriage are object of special conflict rule. In fact conflict rules has little use in international carriage law beacause of direct rules contained in international conventions on this matter. These unimodal conventions cover up the international legal form of contracts for carriage. This unification is the main source od rules regulating private...

Family ideal and real: the change of the image of the family in selected works of Mexican American authors
Sládková, Magdalena ; Kolinská, Klára (referee) ; Ulmanová, Hana (advisor)
The fact that in the twenty-first century Latinos became the largest ethnic minority in the United States is inevitably mentioned in any recent publication on Latino population in the U.S. l People of Mexican origin form the largest percentage of the Latino group, 58%, according to the 2000 U.S. census.2 Mexican Americans have a long history of settling in the United States, nevertheless, their disadvantaged position in the American society is evident. They are usually located among the working-class, have low income, and also low educational attainment. Some social scientists, whose works will be mentioned in this thesis, believe that it is the Mexican American culture that prevents this population from success; others attribute it to discrimination and negative stereotypes of Mexicans that are perpetuated in the American society. In the 1960s and 1970s the Mexican American civil rights movement, known as the Chicano Movement, decided to end the discrimination and other social problems by supporting Mexican American nationalism. One of the ways to increase their national pride was to point at the Mexican American family as a source of strength and a symbol of unity of all Mexicans in the United States. The Chicano Movement asked artists to create works of art that would represent the Chicano family as an...
