The Principleof Non-refoulement and the Concept of SafeCountries
Brychtová, Karolína ; Honusková, Věra (advisor) ; Flídrová, Eliška (referee)
This thesis deals with the safe country concept; within which we can further distingiush two concepts - the one of a safe country of origin and that of a safe third country. When applying the safe country concept, states are limited by their obligations which stem from international law, in particular by the principle of non-refoulement. Furthermore, the concept of safe countries cannot be analyzed nor applied without taking the non-refoulement principle into consideration. The non-refoulement principle is therfore one of the main topics of this thesis. It is viewed primarily trough the lens of the definition given by the Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees of 1951 and the New York Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees of 1967. The goal of this thesis is to determine, whether the concept of safe countries is indeed in accordance with the non-refoulement principle. We will subsequently try to answer the question of how influential the principle is (and should be) in terms of states that follow the concept of safe countries. The main concern of this thesis is the application of the safe country concept in Europe, or more precisely in the European Union. The european safe country legislation belongs to the so-called Common European Asyulm System. The centrepiece of this legal...

Láníková, Klára ; Honusková, Věra (advisor) ; Flídrová, Eliška (referee)
The diploma thesis carrying the name of "The institute of temporary protection in international law and its application in Turkish national law" engages in the institute of Temporary protection being an instrument used in situations of mass influx when RSD procedure is hardly practicable or even impracticable at all. The aim of the thesis is both to define and to analyse Temporary protection as a part of the international law system and consequently apply this legal framework in practice, namely in Turkish national law. The thesis is composed of two main parts, whilst Part one addresses the international law level, Part two evaluates to what extent does Turkish national law comply with the findings of Part one. The first part is divided into subchapters concentrating on various aspects of Temporary protection. At the beginning, the term of Temporary protection itself is defined, followed by analysing the mass influx element in the light of its importance as a basic premise for the application of the mechanism of Temporary protection. The thesis consecutively focuses on beneficiaries of temporary protection and the legal foundation both in conventional and customary law, whereas the principles of non-refoulement and temporary refuge were found to be relevant. Furthermore, the rights of beneficiaries...

Right to education under European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and Czech Republic
Zelnerová, Eliška ; Bayerová, Monika (advisor) ; Flídrová, Eliška (referee)
1 Right to education under European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and Czech Republic Abstract: This thesis deals with the issue of protection of the right to education. It focuses on the conception of the right to education defined by the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. It also compares the article concerning the right to education with other international documents concerning human rights protection such as Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and Convention on the Rights of the Child. It partly examines the definition of this right under the Czech law. The thesis especially pays attention to the case of the Grand Chamber D.H. and others versus Czech Republic, since it is the only decision of European Court of justice concerning right to education which found Czech Republic in breach of the Convention. The aim of this thesis was to find out what influence had this decision on the Czech Republic as well as other member states of the Council of Europe and whether It was succesfully implemented into the Czech legal system. This decision is significant not just for the Czech Republic. It has shed light on the issue faced by many European countries. It became a pilot judgment and was followed by other...

Legal status of whistleblowers in relation to the refugee status
Majdáková, Anežka ; Lipovský, Milan (advisor) ; Flídrová, Eliška (referee)
Legal status of whistleblowers in relation to the refugee status Abstract The aim of this thesis is to introduce the whistleblowing issue in context of international law, refugee law specifically. In recent years, there have been several globally significant cases of whistleblowers responsible for leaks of information of i.a. public entities and seeking protection against their own state of nationality in other countries. Despite the worldwide attention that these cases got, the problematics of whistleblowing is not sufficiently covered from the perspective of international law. Especially in Czech law literature, this topic is neglected in such context. The object of the thesis is therefore to provide an overview of the issue and to identify and analyze its controversial aspects. The work is structured from general introduction into the topic, thereafter defining crucial terms and institutes and categorizing them, towards detailed analysis of the status of whistleblowers and each of refugee definition parts in particular. The core of the work itself is constituted of application of these definition characteristics to miscellaneous whistleblower cases, with the purpose of answering the research question whether (and under what condition) could whistleblowers fulfill the refugee definition. In the thesis is...

Expulsion of aliens under international law
Flídrová, Eliška ; Balaš, Vladimír (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to clarify what are the limits of the right of the state to expel aliens under international law while examining whether or not there is any general rule by which states are bound in exercising their power to expel aliens from their territory. This thesis is using a descriptive and analytical method as methods of work. The comparative method is also partially used for analysis of the practice of states in the individual aspects of the limitation of the right of expulsion and the related decision-making practice of the judicial and quasi-judicial authorities. The conclusion of this thesis is an analysis of the fragmented legal regulation of expulsion of aliens in different areas of international law (both procedural rules and selected areas of substantive regulation). The work is mainly focused on examining limits of states to expel an alien to a particular state through non-refoulement principle and restrictions to expel aliens through the protection of family and private life. Concerning the general conclusions, the examination of limits on the right to expel in international law has crystallized in one general rule that can be considered as an implicit part of all the limits analyzed, which is the effort to avoid the arbitrariness of states.

The application of the non-refoulement principle at sea
Flídrová, Eliška ; Honusková, Věra (advisor) ; Scheu, Harald Christian (referee)
in English - The application of the non-refoulement principle at sea The aim of my thesis is to analyse how one of very important principles of the international law- the non-refoulement principle is applied at sea and what questions should the states bound by this principle ask in order to apply it properly. The thesis itself is composed of three main chapters. Chapter One deals with the non-refoulement in general and defines its content and how this principle is enshrined in international and regional documents. I also examine what are the aspects of the prohibition of refoulement in customary law and whether can it be at present considered as Customary International Law or not. In Chapter Two the excursion into Maritime Law occurs and also indispensable definition of individual maritime zones of Internal Waters, Territorial Waters, Contiguous Zone and High Seas is provided. In this chapter I also focus on the possible application of the non- refoulement outside the state's territory, i.e. its extraterritorial impact. Last but not least in regard to the operations held at sea it is necessary to define their character and different rights and duties arising from them. Subchapters deal with the "search and rescue" and also with the maritime interdiction programs issues whereas the Tampa case and...
