Protection of owl species living on the territory of the Czech Republic in international, EU and national European law
Jašek, Petr ; Stejskal, Vojtěch (advisor) ; Žákovská, Karolina (referee)
Protection of owl species living on the territory of the Czech Republic in international, EU and national European law Abstract There are ten species of owls in the territory of the Czech Republic. The once widespread order of carnivorous birds has faced unprecedented pressures as result of landscape change and civilizational demands in recent decades, as a result of which their European populations are shrinking. For these reasons, a need has risen to protect owls at the level of individual national legal systems, at the level of EU legislation and in the sphere of international conventions. In the first part of this thesis, the biological specifications of owls as well as their ecological and agricultural importance are explained. The thesis also follows the legal mechanisms, the overall level of legal protection of owls and the application of standards for the protection of owls in international law, European Union law and nationals' law, all of which is reserved for the second part of the thesis. The international legal protection of owls is emphasized due to the large fluctuation of bird species across countries and continents. On the other hand, the law of the European Union, on the other hand, brings an unprecedentedly successful model of unification of national legal systems in the joint regulation...
Legal regulation of wild animals in human care
Šolcová, Žofie ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Derlich, Stanislav (referee)
9 Legal regulation of wild animals in human care Abstract This diploma thesis deals with the legal regulation of wild animals in human care. It outlines the related terminology, legal resources and individual legal provisions that are relevant to the topic of this diploma thesis. It also defines specific ways of the treatment of wild animals, the possibilities of their acquisition into human care and breeding. The diploma thesis in detail analyzes selected entities that breed wild animals. That means rescue stations (specifically their care for handicapped animals), zoos, circuses (namely their training of animals), as well as entities that experiment on animals. For chosen entities, it deals primarily with their obligations under the wild animals legislation. The last part then deals with the issue of liability in relation to wild animals. In the context of civil liability, it means both damage caused by the animal and damage caused to the animal itself. The diploma thesis also deals with administrative offenses based on the Act on the Protection of Animals Against Cruelty and the Act on the Conservation of Nature and Landscape, as well as penalties that can be imposed under these acts. Regarding the criminal law, it then defines the individual related crimes and felonies. Klíčová slova: wild animals,...
Environmental charges
Klekner, Aleš ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Sobotka, Michal (referee)
Environmental charges Abstract The aim of the diploma thesis is the introduction of environmental charges in the Czech legal system, their classification, analysis and evaluation in terms of their effectiveness. Environmental charges are among the most important economic instruments of environmental protection in the Czech legal system. Charges differ from taxes mainly in that there is some consideration associated with the charges. Environmental charges can be broken down according to various criteria. In the professional literature, the most common breakdown of environmental charges is the nature of their consideration, namely charges for pollution and other environmental burdens, charges for the use of natural resources and user charges. The diploma thesis examines the question of the extent to which environmental charges fulfill their functions, especially the most important function, namely the motivational function. The diploma thesis also touches on the question of whether the legal regulation of selected elements of environmental charges at the subordinate legislation is in accordance with the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms. Environmental charges have undergone a number of changes over their history. Most of these changes have contributed to greater environmental protection, but in many...
Deep-Seabed Mining in the Area: Environmental Aspects of the Legal Framework
Hron, Štěpán ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Sobotka, Michal (referee)
85 11 Abstract Deep Seabed Mining in the Area: Environmental Aspects of the Legal Framework The thesis focuses on the environmental aspects of regulation of deep-seabed mining in areas outside national jurisdictions, collectively referred to as the Area. Deep Seabed Mining (DSBM) is a potential future method of commercial extraction of non-renewable resources, metals and rare earths, collectively referred to as Minerals, conducted at depths between one and six kilometres below the ocean surface. Like all other mining operations, these activities would affect the surrounding ecosystems and the ocean environment as a whole, which is already under considerable pressure from other human activities. Effective protection of the marine environment therefore requires sophisticated legislative and policy framework to avoid irreversible and unacceptable consequences, including loss of genetic resources, biodiversity and deepening threats to climate stability. The diverse set of rules that govern the DBSM has been shaped over the last 50 years by various interest groups and under the influence of the latest scientific knowledge and technological developments. Its backbone are the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the 1994 Implementation Agreement. The provisions of Part XI of UNCLOS...
Evolution of climate litigation in European context
Kavalírová, Julie ; Fabšíková, Tereza (advisor) ; Žákovská, Karolina (referee)
Evolution of climate litigation in European context, abstract This diploma thesis deals with the evolution of climate litigation in the European context. The aim of this paper is to describe and map the institute of climate litigation as a whole, to describe its types based on different standpoints and aspects and to describe the historical development of climate litigation in the world and in Europe. This paper further describes five leading cases of European climate litigation in detail. The cases of Urgenda Foundation v. The Netherlands, Neubauer v. Germany, Notre Affaire à Tous v. France, VZZ Klimaatzaak v. the Kingdom of Belgium, and the case of Milieudefensie v. Royal Dutch Shell PLC were thoughtfully chosen based on their connection and the impact they had on climate action in their respective countries. To finish, this thesis aims to find answers to several legal questions concerning climate litigation by comparing those described climate cases. The main methods used in this diploma thesis were the research of legal literature, case law of foreign courts and legal regulations. The conclusions of this paper were gained by analysis of information and subsequent use of different methods of interpretation. This diploma thesis is divided into an introduction and a conclusion and three main chapters, some...
Legal regulation of climate engineering
Vindušková, Markéta ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Fabšíková, Tereza (referee)
Legal regulation of climate engineering Abstract Although climate engineering offers a tempting solution on how to easily avert the threats of climate change, it is a risky and ethically questionable solution, and it brings a whole series of challenges and questions for the legal system. Few sources of foreign scientific literature are dedicated to this topic. Also, some of the Czech diploma theses are devoted to the field. None of them deals with legal aspects of it. Currently, there are several non-binding international documents that directly address climate engineering, and some legally binding instruments are relevant. So far, however, no legally binding instruments that would explicitly regulate this discipline were established. However, some guidance is provided by existing international environmental law treaties and general principles of international environmental law. On the basis of the available literature and legislation in force, the aim of the work was to answer some questions that arise in connection with climate engineering, i.e. whether an environmental impact assessment mechanism can be used for the approval process, how liability should be assessed in the event of cross-border damages caused by a climate engineering project, on what ground would states resolve potential disputes arising...
Legislation for waste management from the trader's point of view
Dušek, Martin ; Sobotka, Michal (advisor) ; Žákovská, Karolina (referee)
1 Abstract Legislation for waste management from the trader's point of view The diploma thesis deals with the legal regulation of waste management from the perspective of the trader with regard to Act no. 541/2020 Coll. on waste and Decree 1013/2006 in the case of cross-border shipments of goods. The main objective of this work is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the relevant legislation de lege lata. The first chapter is devoted to waste management and the sources of legislation at the international, European and national levels. The second chapter specifies the basic concepts of waste management relevant to the trader. In the third chapter, the author approaches the subjects of waste management, with which the trader can get in touch in his activities and relationships. The fourth chapter, which together with the fifth chapter forms the focal point of the work, deals with the trader, whereas the author first enshrines the role of the trader in waste management by discussing the motivation to trade in waste, and further defines the waste trading itself. This chapter describes the procedure of the regional office, the result of which is the issuance of a waste trading permit for a certain type and category of waste. The work also creates space for comparison with the institute of waste management...
Light pollution regulation alternatives
Dobrianská, Kristýna ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Franková, Martina (referee)
Light pollution regulation alternatives Abstract This diploma thesis deals with the subject of light pollution, the harmful effects of artificial (anthropogenic) light on natural nocturnal environment. The issue was first brought up some decades ago by astronomers whose night sky observations started to be obstructed by sky glow - one of the three types of light pollution. But there are far more reasons to re-evaluate the way and intensity with which we illuminate our surroundings. The natural day/night cycle and the way it changes throughout the year regulates the timing of biological processes of almost all life on Earth. Its disruption affects the orientation, reproduction and development of most animal and plant species. Humans are no exception - night-time artificial light exposure can lead to sleep disorders, depression, cardiovascular diseases and even increases the prevalence of some types of cancer. The first chapter of this thesis focuses on the complexity of the issue that is light pollution. The rest of it deals with the possible ways of regulating it. Chapter two presents a summary of supranational efforts to minimize light pollution from all relevant fields, including the steps taken by the European Union so far. The third chapter compares the legal approaches of individual countries to the...
Limitations of the rights of the property owner for the purpose of nature and landscape conservation
Hrabánková, Monika ; Franková, Martina (advisor) ; Žákovská, Karolina (referee)
Limitations of the rights of the property owner for the purpose of nature and landscape conservation This degree work is focused on the limitation of rights of the property owner, which correspond to conservation of the environment, specifically nature and landscape conservation. In this degree work, one of the most fundamental themes considered is the method of maintaining balance nature and landscape conservation and conservation of property law in Czech law. Finding a way to maintain balance between these two interests is one of the important steps for long-term successful nature conservation. This part of the degree work is focused on the general regulation of limitation of property law, conditions for its limitation, distinction between internal and external limitations of property law and the related comparison of general and public interests. This analysis is supplemented by defining terms which are important for this subject area (for example the environment, property law, real estate). Another fundamental theme of this degree work is the analysis of concrete limitations affecting the property owner, which result from Act No. 114/1992 Coll. concerning nature and landscape conservation. This degree work contains a cross-sectional selection of individual limitations of property law, which are...
Expropriation of rights to land
Meitner, Luděk ; Žákovská, Karolina (advisor) ; Franková, Martina (referee)
Expropriation of rights to land Abstract This diploma thesis deals with the legal institute of expropriation. As defined in the Act No. 184/2006 Sb., Expropriation Act, expropriation is forced withdrawal or restriction of ownership to land (or structure) and of right corresponding to servitude to that land (or structure) and subsequent transfer of ownership or acquirement of right corresponding to servitude by someone else. Therefore, at the beginning I am introducing land (including all its components, particularly structures, and closely related terms - ground and plot), which is the most common object of expropriation. Essential part of this thesis however presents each requirement for lawful expropriation, expropriation proceedings and related judicial review of expropriation decision in order to assess statutory regulation of this complex topic on the basis of suitability, conformity with the constitutional order of the Czech Republic and case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the ability to fulfil its purpose - timely execution of projects that are beneficial to the public good (while also keeping essential rights of the expropriated unaffected by such execution). If necessary, I am also proposing possible changes to statutory regulation. Expropriation however is not covered only by one...
