The office of Ombudsman in the Czech Republic
Kuchariková, Alena ; Hofmannová, Helena (advisor) ; Kudrna, Jan (referee)
6 Abstract and key-word list The office of Ombudsman in the Czech Republic This thesis addresses the subject of a public defender of rights (PDR) in Czech Republic. Although it has proven itself to be an indispensable institution that contributes to a rightful administration of public affairs, public's awareness about this organization and its activities is relatively inadequate which leaves many aspects of the institution's responsibilities open to misinterpretation. The aim of this thesis is twofold first to provide an overview of the organization's activities and responsibilities to the public, further to propose the necessary alteration to the current law in order to enhance the efficacy and productivity of the abovementioned institute. Moreover to gain a comprehensive view of the public defender of rights, it is vital to specify its position among our legislature and to address its eventual embodiment in the constitution. This thesis comprises of 8 chapters, each of which deal with different aspects of the public's defender of rights position and work. The first chapter deals with the institution's founding, development and general definition of the public defender of rights institution. It is divided into three parts, the first of which contains a brief outline of the institution's establishment and...

DEVELOPMENT OF THE INSTITUTION OF STATE CITIZENSHIP IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND THE CONTEMPORARY SITUATION
Hřebejk, Jiří ; Gerloch, Aleš (advisor) ; Hofmannová, Helena (referee) ; Svatoň, Jan (referee)
The thesis entitled "Development of the Institution of State Citizenship in the Czech Republic and the Contemporary Situation" deals with the theoretical concept of the institute of citizenship, the content of the term, the historic origins of the archetype of modern citizenship in the ancient world and in the territory of the present Czech Republic, its stipulation in private law regulations, and its gradual transformation into a public institute. The thesis is a genesis of the constitutional and legal regulation in Czechoslovakia between 1918 to 1992, in the Czech Republic as the subject of the Czechoslovak Federation between 1969 and 1992, and in the autonomous Czech Republic from 1993 to the present. The thesis also refers to the international conventional regulation of the institute of citizenship, which is the expression of the sovereignty of a state, but multilateral international agreements between countries create a uniform platform of this institute, mainly within Europe. Court jurisdiction is also discussed, namely of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic in relation to the content and interpretation of the institute of citizenship in the legislation of the Czech Republic.

Bartonička, Jan ; Hřebejk, Jiří (advisor) ; Hofmannová, Helena (referee)
It is often accentuated - not only by legal scholars, but also by political scientists - that law, politics, and society in the modern West have been marked by the increasing power of the judge. Therefore in my thesis I have decided to describe the current problems in the constitutional judiciary, including the issue of the so-called goverment of judges (or judicial tyranny) and the role of constitutional courts and judges in modern society. Needless to say, my work is based on extensive use of the fundamental book "Constitutional Courts and Democratic Values: A European Perspective" written by Victor Ferreres Comella, which provides the most detailed analytic description of the centralized model of constitutional review currently available. My thesis consists of an introduction, four chapters and a final conclusion. In the first chapter, the history of Czechoslovak and Czech constitutional judiciary is described from the beginning in the 1920s to the birth of the Czech Republic in the 1990s. In the second part of my thesis, the models of constitutional judiciary in contemporary world in brief are dealt with. French, American and German model are characterized and the specific way in which they function is investigated. In the third chapter I focus on the so-called problem of judical republic,...

Comparison of the organization of the Czech and Russian judicial systems
Lupták, Vladimír ; Hofmannová, Helena (advisor) ; Jirásková, Věra (referee)
Chapters one to five is dedicated to the Czech organization of justice. In the introductory chapter, I have defined the key concepts and legal principles governing justice. In the second chapter, I dealt with the general division of the judicial system. The third and fourth chapters are devoted to the administrative judiciary headed by the NSS CR and the fourth chapter, subsequently to constitutional justice. The guarantor of constitutionality in the Czech Republic is the Constitutional Court, so the fourth chapter was devoted mainly to it. I discuss arbitration courts in the fifth and last chapter dedicated to the Czech judicial system. Unless they are part of the system of ordinary courts, they, like private bodies, have an irreplaceable role to play in resolving disputes. In the sixth chapter, I deal with the case- law of the European Court of Human Rights and the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic in matters of respect for human rights in the Russian Federation, including the views of international organizations on their situation in the Russian Federation.. In the following five chapters, seventh to eleven, I described the Russian judicial system. In the beginning, I tell the reader about the structure of the Russian Federation and the specifics of separation of powers. Chapter eight was...

Vančura, Jan ; Hofmannová, Helena (advisor) ; Řepa, Karel (referee)
- right to a fair trial in the constitutional court's decisions Right to a fair trial is rather an indispensable tool in the whole inventory of law mechanisms, due to the fact, it's being the only option we have, that enables the substantive law to come alive. Furthermore, it really designs the sole environment for the judiciary, thus being one of the essentials of the modern, democratic state, ruled by law. The thesis consists of five parts. Introduction opens with setting of the questions, the thesis is willing to give the answers to. History, being the important part of examined topic, is touched briefly, bringing upon the main points it's got to say to the contemporary fair trial. Law theory, necessary for the understanding of given topic, is also discussed within this section. Next chapter analyses the "outside warranties" of fair trial, meaning the authorities, responsible for taking the actions strictly under the rule of fair trial, namely the court and administration. Reasons are given, why the vast majority of appeals to the court, (mainly the Constitutional court of the Czech Republic) deal with particularities of fair trial being breached, what is their typical fate and why does such occur. The main part gives the "intrinsic warranties", being usually known under the maxims of the fair...

Participatory rights of the child in case law of the Constitutional Court
Vanýsková, Zuzana ; Hofmannová, Helena (advisor) ; Reschová, Jana (referee)
The topic of the thesis "Participatory rights of the child in case law of the Constitutional Court" is a specific complex of rights guaranteed to the child by the constitutional order of the Czech Republic and international treaties, especially the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The child has been viewed as a particular rights subject only in recent decades when the Constitutional Court rejected the idea of a child being an object of other's decision and granted children the status of a subject and a participant in proceedings. Participatory rights are an important set of children rights and can be summarized as the right to be informed about proceedings, the right to express opinions, the right to be notified about the decision of proceedings. The thesis aims to present children rights of participation from the point of view of constitutional law, to focus on the development of the judiciary of the Constitutional Court, and subsequently to compare it with Czech and foreign literature. The first part of the thesis deals with the theoretical definition of the development of the position of the child from the nineteenth century to the present, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its principles, as well as general participation rights in international and national law. The thesis...
