International legal protection of natural resources and the Moon environment
Kokaislová, Teresa ; Ondřej, Jan (referee) ; Hofmannová, Mahulena (advisor)
"The Protection of Natural Resources on the Moon and of Lunar Environment in International law" The aim of the thesis is firstly to analyse the existing legal basis of the protection of the natural resources which are to be found on the Moon and of the lunar environment and secondly to draw up an outline of desired development of these issues. The reason for my research is based on the fact that the Earth's resources are finite and slowly running out. The mankind is in a need of finding new resources and sees its opportunity in using the ones on the Moon. Therefore a functional and effective legal regulation is required. The thesis is composed of four chapters. Short Introduction is followed by first chapter describing the formation of the Outer Space Treaty and Moon Agreement and analysing the provisions of both. Chapter Two is dedicated to the issue of legal regimes "res communis omnium" and "common heritage of mankind". Firts part of the chapter deals with the creation and content of the legal regimes. Second part describes the rising questions concerning the morality in the "common heritage of mankind" principle and its so called tragedy. The next two chapters concentrate on the problems resulting from the tragedy of "common heritage of mankind". Chapter Three focuses on the international...

The situation in Tibet with a special regard to human rights and the right of a nation to self-determination
Kameníčková, Ivana ; Hofmannová, Mahulena (advisor) ; Hýbnerová, Stanislava (referee)
CV The situation in Tibet, with the intention of human rights problems and the right of self- determination of nations- Summary I rate the Tibet issue as very interesting and actual. If we think about the ruling situation closely, we found out big amount of break of domestic and also international law. This topic was chosen to remind a serious mischief, that is install in Tibet already 60 years and to point out the indifference of international community and the inconsistency of enforcement of international law. It is very difficult to acquire impartial information about the situation in Tibet. I stem from accessible publications trying to keep an objective stance. With regard that China offers just very few statements about the situation in Tibet, which does not further mostly respond to the facts presented by Tibet's side, my work is largely based on the particulars coming from experiences of Tibet exile or published by Tibet exile government. China takes pains to manipulate public meaning, enforces censorship and bars access of neutral international media. An important resource of my work became reports of International Commission of Jurists from 1959, 1960 and 1993, than OSN resolutions and reports published by non- governmental organisations as Amnesty International for example. It was necessary to...

The exercise of the state's rights and duties in the airspace in the light of public international law
Kobera, Václav ; Ondřej, Jan (advisor) ; Hofmannová, Mahulena (referee)
108 THE EXERCISE OF THE STATE'S RIGHTS AND DUTIES IN THE AIRSPACE IN THE LIGHT OF PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW The space above the Earth was the lawyer's examination subject matter already in ancient times. The air which we breathe, as well as the water from the sea, was considered to be a thing common to all (res communis omnium). However, as far as the movement and life in the air were concerned (here we can use the term "airspace"), a different rule was used. This rule said "he who owns the land, owns it up to heaven" (cuius es solum, eius est usque ad coelum). This conception of the airspace still had not much in common with today's conception based on its practical use. It is obvious that society then could not have assumed reasonably (because of the level of its technical development) that mankind was going to be able to use the airspace. The origins of proper use of the airspace we can only date to when the Montgolfier brothers constructed and launched the first hot air balloon (1783 in Paris). Initially such activities were considered to be rather curiosities but they gained respect very quickly especially when used during armed conflicts in the 19th century performing espionage and bombing tasks. At the beginning of the 20th century the Wright brothers successfully tested the first heavier-than-air...
