French policy in Libya after overthrowing Gaddafi: security consolidation or democratization?
Mistrík, Peter ; Najšlová, Lucia (advisor) ; Weiss, Tomáš (referee)
The English school of international relations claims that the national interests of states and their behaviour in international relations are not only driven by selfish motives, but the so- called enlightened self-interest as well. The functioning of the community of the states is governed by common rules, laws, values and interests. According to the Solidarist current of the English school it is even acceptable to limit the sovereignty of the state which seriously violates international standards such as the protection of human rights. A discrepancy between the protection of the states' sovereignty and the protection of the rights of individuals was bridged by the Responsibility to protect doctrine adopted at the UN World Summit in 2005. This doctrine has served France and other states intervening in Libya as a support of the legality of their cause. However, the doctrine does not address the conditions of the intervention solely. It also delegates a responsibility to rebuild the war-torn countries to the interventionists. Therefore, it is an appropriate tool for the evaluation of the interests and motivations that have shaped the policies and activities of France in Libya. The analysis suggests that the primary motivation of France has undergone a fundamental change during the course of...

Great Britain and R2P in the case of the intervention in Libya
Mistrík, Peter ; Váška, Jan (advisor) ; Anděl, Petr (referee)
The responsibility to protect (R2P) norm represents a major shift in the perception of the scope of the state's sovereignty, the conditions of its existence and the situations when it is lost in favour of the international community. The protection of the civilians has become the top priority. If it is endangered, it is the world's duty to act. Exactly in the way it happened in Libya. The goal of this project is to answer the question whether the British participation at the 2011 military campaign in Libya can be regarded as legitimate according to the R2P. It is a case study where a concrete situation, i.e. the international intervention in Libya is applied to a theoretical framework that is represented by five conditions set by the R2P. The conditions must be met in order to launch a foreign armed intervention in a state that manifestly fails to protect its population facing large-scale crimes against humanity. These conditions serve as a basis for determining the legitimacy of UK's participation in the military intervention in Libya. The careful analysis of each of them proves that Britain acted in accordance with the R2P and the mandate that was entrusted to her by the international community. However, it was not true about few of her allies. Combined with Libya's uncertain future, the R2P must...
