Title of the dissertation: The Status of Non-Governmental Organisations in International Law on the Example of the Russian Federation Abstract The dissertation deals with the status of non-governmental organisations in international law. It approaches this issue from two perspectives. The first is the international law regulation of non-governmental organisations in the international system. The second is the question of the impact of international law on the regulation of non-governmental organisations at the national level. These two perspectives are interrelated since, without compliance with the requirements of international law at the national level, non-governmental organisations cannot be active at the international level. The dissertation demonstrates this thesis on the example of the Russian Federation, which has adopted legislation on non-governmental organisations that severely restricts their functioning and very existence in the last ten years. The first part of the dissertation examines the status and regulation of non-governmental organisations in international law. It deals with the understanding of non-governmental organisations, their historical development, and the topics that non-governmental organisations currently address in the international system. It also provides a definition of...
Meaningful Human Control in Autonomous Weapons
Rešlová, Petra ; Sassòli, Marco (advisor) ; Bílková, Veronika (referee)
Meaningful Human Control in Autonomous Weapons ABSTRACT The research on autonomy in robotic systems is flourishing in many areas, but none is deemed as troubling as the development of lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS). It raises various compelling questions, legal and ethical ones. Discussions on the potential challenges posed by these emerging technologies highlighted the desirability of a certain level of human control. The notion of meaningful human control (MHC) over LAWS has gained widespread support. However, the principle itself and its requirements are yet to be defined. To this end, this paper analyses the emerging principle of MHC and explores its elements. It aims to clarify questions such as where the principle stems from and how it should be perceived and integrated into State practice. First, the definition and categorisation of LAWS are shortly addressed to provide an introduction to the topic. Second, it is argued that it is necessary to insist on the requirement of MHC, particularly because of technological limitations of current and future technology, such as object recognition and classification, bias, or unpredictability. The arguments stemming from the rules of international humanitarian law (IHL) on the conduct of hostilities are explored, mainly the rules of distinction,...
"Sinking Islands" and the United Nations Security Council
Bruner, Tomáš ; Hynek, Nikola (advisor) ; Bílková, Veronika (referee) ; Karlas, Jan (referee)
Certain Small Island Developing States (hereinafter the "SIDS") such as Kiribati or Tuvalu are often incorrectly called "sinking islands" because their highest points are located just a few meters above the sea level. Sea level rise may turn their territories to uninhabitable land gradually disappearing beneath the tide. Worsening of the environmental conditions causes internal displacement, migration and other problems. SIDS repeatedly brought their plight to the United Nations Security Council (the "UNSC") during its meetings in 2007, 2011, 2015, 2018 and 2019. They demanded that the UNSC should deal with their situation as a potential security issue and safeguard more equal distribution of environmental security risks and costs. During the UNSC negotiations, various states attempted to interpret and re-interpreted the UNSC mandate in order to suit their interests. The representatives of SIDS suggested that the UNSC should be a body based on the principles of distributive justice decision-making and thus safeguard fairer sharing of threats and burdens, including those of environmental character. The rapidly developing states strongly opposed; they implicitly claimed that the UNSC should be based rather on the principles of commutative justice, i.e. decide in strictly given situations of violations of...
Jurisdiction over international crimes and the Rohingya case
Malina, Václav ; Bílková, Veronika (advisor) ; Honusková, Věra (referee)
Jurisdiction over international crimes and the Rohingya case Abstract This thesis discusses the situation of the Rohingya minority in Myanmar in relation to two court cases that have been initiated in recent years before the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice. The thesis examines whether the elements of the crime of genocide and selected crimes against humanity, i.e. crimes of deportation, persecution and other inhumane acts, have been fulfilled. After summarizing the historical development of modern Myanmar and the position of the Rohingya in Myanmar society, the thesis identifies the individual elements of the selected crimes under international law, which were chosen for the thesis based on the aforementioned ongoing proceedings. Furthermore, the author evaluates the previous decisions of the two judicial institutions and comments upon them on the basis of secondary literature. The question of state responsibility for breaches of obligations under international law and the position of victims in international criminal proceedings are also approached in relation to the Rohingya cases. In the final chapter of the thesis, the author not only assesses the chances of success for both prosecutors and victims, but also looks for the relevance of international (criminal) law in...
The position of guarantees of non-repetition within transitional justice
Hůlová, Eliška ; Bílková, Veronika (advisor) ; Balaš, Vladimír (referee)
The Position of Guarantees of Non-repetition within Transitional Justice Abstract Within transitional justice (TJ), guarantees of non-repetition (GNRs) refer to measures aiming to prevent the recurrence of mass human rights violations. They form one of the four pillars of TJ (next to justice, truth and reparation). In contrast with the other three pillars, GNRs are concerned primarily with the future and present a function that may be fulfilled by an open- ended variety of measures. Thus, GNRs aim to fulfil the preventive function of TJ. However, although non-repetition is understood as one of the core objectives of TJ, GNRs remain underexplored and there is much ambiguity surrounding the topic. This thesis thus aims to contribute to the conceptualization of GNRs within TJ. To this end, this thesis explores the origins and normative foundations of GNRs as a State obligation arising from mass and systematic human rights violations. This analysis starts with a review of GNRs within the law of state responsibility, followed by an exploration of the concept's development in international human rights law and TJ. Since GNRs can be conceived either as a part of reparations or as a separate pillar of TJ, this section also explores the foundations for both of these understandings. Subsequently, this thesis turns to...
The creation of a state by way of separation (secession) from an existing state
Bílý, Adam ; Bílková, Veronika (advisor) ; Faix, Martin (referee)
The creation of a state by way of separation (secession) from an existing state This thesis attempts to map the current theoretical approaches to state secession as well as explore the approach of international law to this issue. The thesis is split into two main parts. The first, theoretical part, consists of four chapters and covers the basic definition and other aspects of a state, like the elements of statehood, the creation of a state, theories of recognition of a state, de facto and de jure states, state succession in international law etc. Then it moves on to the introduction of the topic of secession itself. It offers multiple definitions of secession, divides secession into types, provides a brief history of secession and discusses concepts like the right of peoples to self-determination or the principle of territorial integrity. Then, the thesis covers a range of so-called explanatory theories of secession. Explanatory theories attempt to describe various elements that affect secession. The last chapter of the first part describes three so-called normative theories of secession. Normative theories, unlike explanatory theories, attempt to define under which circumstances a secession can be considered justifiable. The second part of the thesis is split into three chapters. Each chapter is a...
Selected institutes of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence in the Light of International Practice
Vlasák, Jan ; Bílková, Veronika (advisor) ; Honusková, Věra (referee)
1 Abstract Selected institutes of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence in the Light of International Practice This work analyzes the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (Istanbul Convention), focusing on international practice and observing the implications of the Istanbul Convention in countries that have already ratified it. The work focuses on topics regulated by the Istanbul Convention, which are often criticized in our environment and described as controversial. The aim of this work is to assess whether such criticism is justified and the ratification of the Istanbul Convention may cause some of the consequences the critique is afraid of, or to refute such criticism, based on the evaluation of international practice. The areas examined are the added value of the Istanbul Convention, its ideological neutrality and, finally, its possible implications for migration law. The first section discusses the position of the Istanbul Convention among similar international human right treaties and, in general, the regulation of violence against women and domestic violence in international law. Furthermore, the work deals with the obligations arising from the ratification of the...
International terrorism and human rights
Gurská, Zuzana ; Šturma, Pavel (advisor) ; Bílková, Veronika (referee)
Summary: International Terrorism and Human Rights Key words: international terrorism, antiterrorist measures, human rights First part of the thesis is centered on characteristics of international terrorism, concept of human rights and three aspects of their mutual relationship: the immediate impact of terrorist attacks on human rights of their direct victims and the society as a whole and aspects linked to the states' response consisting of human rights breaches of suspects during repressive measures and curtailing the rights and freedoms of us all during preventive measures. Many states have tighten their current antiterrorist measures, introduced new ones and strengthened the powers of military and law enforcement at the expense of internationally guaranteed human rights and fundamental freedoms, argumenting with the need of neccessary trade-off between personal rights and freedoms and national security. Nevertheless, there are flexible institutes imbedded into international law that allow for realization of represive and preventive measures whithout compromising the guaranteed human rights. Secong part is devoted to these flexible institutes, namely limitation and derogation of human rights. Listed are necessary conditions of their implementation, in case of limitation of human rights the adherance to the...
