Specificity of work in sheltered workshops and possibilities of their services in the Czech republic and USA.
JINDROVÁ, Zdeňka
Taking care of people with disabilities is dated back to history. Nowadays there are many ways how to take care, socialize and integrate people with special needs. For people with some handicap there are number of fences at the same time, which are impossible to break through without help of the other people. We can also find out that people with disabilities are exposed to some kinds of discrimination. The most severe fence for those people is that they have got nearly closed access to the labour market. People with disabilities belong in disadvantaged groups at the labour market and they are suffering from long-term unemployment. Sheltered workshops are one way how to integrate those people. People with health problems and with changed working ability work there. Working in the sheltered workshops isn{\crq}t only earning money. It is also a place where especially the disabled people can become members of society and can gain new experience. I tried to find out similarities and differences in running of chosen sheltered workshops. Based on my stay in Massachusetts, USA I chose to concentrate on describing non-government, non-profit organization called Road to Responsibility, Inc. In the Czech Republic I chose for the same purpose Domov sv. Anežky, o.p.s. in Týn nad Vltavou. In theoretical part of thesis, I concentrate on the problems of disability. I am describing history of care of people with disabilities, the types of disability, socialization and last, but not least jobs opportunities and self{--}fulfillment of peoplewith disabilities. The practical section of thesis is divided into two parts. In part one I am describing running of the chosen companies and their sheltered workshops and in part two I am graphically displaying found information. I chose to do research two different ways. The first one was secondary data analysis and content analysis. I also collected information from interviews, in which I talked to employees and managers of the workshops. Before I started collecting data I chose what information I want to find out, what documents I want to study so I will get the result I wanted {--} to find out the similarities and differences of the chosen workshops in USA and in Czech Republic. The information were e.g. rights and obligations of the clients, the founders of those companies, what do they offer, personal security, qualifications of employees, rates of pay for people with disabilities and last but not least what types of workshops each organization runs. Based on the information I collected, I realized, that certain differences between Road to Responsibility and Domov sv. Anežky exists. The main difference is different rates of pay for people with disability for their work. Another difference is how the rights of clients are exercise. I can declare that both my hypothesis were correct. I am convinced, that my work points out the similarities and differences, which exist in sheltered workshops in the Czech Republic and USA. But of course it is not the whole view of how the community works.

Reform of the Security Council: Global governance and representation
Pajgrt, Adam ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
This work deals with the striking gap between the goals set by the UN and its actual activity. It discusses the obstacles especially in the way of solving conflicts within one state. It stresses the need for a change in the decision making proces within the council as well as in the representation of the council, which should consequently lead to a change in the UN Charter. This change is necessary in order to address the conflict between human right and state sovereignty.

Diplomatic Immunities vs Human Rights
Olahová, Kateřina ; Trávníčková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Sladký, Pavel (referee)
This thesis aims at description and analyses of the position of diplomatic immunities and human rights in international law, focusing on areas where these two sets of international rules clash. One objective of this work is an attempt to establish a hierarchy between norms granting diplomatic immunities and those protecting fundamental human rights, which could possibly resolve the collision. This solution, however, narrows down to one of most general principles of diplomatic relations, the principal of reciprocity. Mentioned are also some alternative approaches suggested for resolution of this conflict together with the obstacles, which prevent them from use. The thesis further looks at possible remedies against abuse of diplomatic immunity.

The conception of human rights in Islam and its impact on international relations
Šichová, Petra ; Lehmannová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Šabacká, Yvona (referee)
The main purpose of this thesis is to analyze the conception of human rights in Islamic culture and to examine its influence on international relations. The essential method used to complete the analysis is a comparison of conceptions of human rights in western culture and in Islamic culture. This comparison is based on the most important documents involving human rights. Particular examination of different conceptions is posted in the case study of Pakistan based on Sharia and of secular Turkey. The thesis examines the hypothesis based on opinion, that the states practicing Sharia are not able to follow all the human rights as involved in the western conception of United Nations. Thus, position of those states in international relations is not as good as in case of the secular ones. Anyway, while analyzing various sources and factors, the hypothesis was found not as well-founded as it was supposed to be.

Human rights in Islam: Comparation of the status of women in Turkey and Saudi Arabia
Poustková, Karolína ; Lehmannová, Zuzana (advisor) ; Šabacká, Yvona (referee)
The thesis studies the human rights in Islam and evaluates them in concrete comparison of Muslim women's position in two different Muslim countries. It approaches two main human rights concepts: universalism and cultural relativism and describes the system and structure of Islamic law which determine all Muslims and Muslim society and therefore human rights perception itself. The diploma work follows two main goals:1) analysis of human rights from Islamic perspective, namely by its confrontation with prevalent universal model of human rights and 2) comparison of the status of Muslim woman in Turkey and Saudi Arabia. The thesis is logically divided into four consequential parts. First two chapters introduce to theoretical issues of human rights and Islamic religion, the two other pivotal parts are concentrated on the above mentioned set goals. The objectivity of the thesis should be ensured by using various foreign-language sources of information from which studies and reports of international organizations such as United Nations, Human Rights Watch or Amnesty International form a considerable part.
