Proceedings for the dissolution of a political party - Czech and foreign
Schneebergerová, Martina ; Antoš, Marek (advisor) ; Jirásková, Věra (referee)
Thesis deals with the issue of dissolution of political parties. States should recognise that everyone has the right to associate freely in political parties. As a particularly far-reaching measure, enforced dissolution of political party may only be justified in the case of party that advocates the use of violence as a political means to overthrow the democratic constitutional order, thereby undermining the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the constitution. The dissolution of a political party is an exceptional measure in a democratic society and should be govern by the principle of proportionality. Apart from Czech legislation and recent judicial cases, this thesis is focused on Slovak and German experience with political party ban. Relevant decisions of European Court of Human Rights are introduced as well. In the first chapter the term "political party" is defined. Essential role of the political parties in parliamentary democracy as well as its extraordinary status among associations is emphasized.

These legal reasons are defined by criteria abstractly formulated, therefore a statutory interpretation...

Funding of political parties - legal regulation, control, transparency
Valenta, Jakub ; Antoš, Marek (advisor) ; Mlsna, Petr (referee)
The subject matter of this paper is an analysis of the current system of political parties funding in the Czech Republic. The aim of the thesis is to critically assess the current legal regulation and to point out potential shortcomings and possibilities for improvement. At a time when public confidence in political parties is characterized by a systematic and long-term downward trend, it is a recent and widely discussed topic. We may well ask whether the legal regulation of this issue does not provide room for improvement and innovation. The extensive topic is structured into two areas - the question of financial resources and the question of control and transparency. The paper is composed of five chapters. Chapter one deals with the political parties in general and with the law of political parties, especially with constitutional aspects. The second chapter examines the financing of political parties, its basic principles, models and division. In brief, it covers also the development of funding. The subject of the third chapter is a detailed description of the funding of political parties in the Czech Republic. In the fourth chapter the thesis deals with control, transparency and enforcement, at both the general and the specific level, when Czech regulation is subject to scrutiny. Chapter Five is...

The goal of this diploma thesis is to verify hypotheses that the current legal framework of election law is in accordance with constitutional principles. Furthermore, author's intention is to highlight parts of the statute which may violate the Constitution. Such verification or rejection of hypotheses is deduced from the answers on the research questions, for instance if the voting system used within the course of the election to the Czech House of Representatives and if is desirable to modify the voting system and, if relevant in what manner (by what means). In order to answer these questions, the author applied the method of analyzing primary and secondary information sources, their interpretation and deduction of relevant conclusions. This thesis is divided into twelve chapters (incl. preface and conclusion, resume and bibliography) provided that the merit of the work can be found from chapter five to chapter eight.

The following chapter discusses the evolution of the voting system used within the course of Czech and Czech-Slovak parliamentary elections in the 20th century.

The Right to a Fair Trial
Müller, Pavel ; Reschová, Jana (advisor) ; Antoš, Marek (referee)
The aim of this theses is "The Right to a Fair Trial." I approach this topic both as a juridicial institute, where I describe it's content, and a philosophical - moral principle which should, in my opinion, run through the whole legal proceedings. (Among other things), my personal experience in a civil legal proceeding drove me to write this theses. On account of this experience I started to ask myself whether everyone is really entitled to the right to a fair trial and if the principle is really functional and running through the whole legal process or it's just a theoretical concept, more or less executed in a legal process. Comparison as objective as possible of a fair trial concept to the real state of this right's protection is one of the main aims of the thesis. Not just a confrontation between vision and reality, but also a proposal of their converging. In the first part of the theses I present a brief description of material and formal sources of information regarding the right to a fair trial from both the Czech and European point of view. In the second part I present a summary of works dealing with this topic in the Czech Republic which have been published so far. In the third part I theoretically elaborate partial principles of this right. In the fourth, and the last part of this thesis...
