The Role of the Commonwealth During the Crisis in Zimbabve 2000 - 2003
Giovagnoniová, Lenka ; Rovná, Lenka (advisor) ; Váška, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with the detailed analysis of Commonwealth instruments and mechanisms during the Zimbabwe crisis between 2000 and December 2003, during which Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe withdrew his country from the Commonwealth. In 1995 the Commonwealth gained the instruments that are possible to use in the event of a member state violating the Commonwealth principles. Member states declared their adherence by signing the Harare declaration in 1991. At the end of the 90's Zimbabwe started to seize the property of white farmers who supported the newly established opposition. It was strongly opposed by the International Community, especially by the Commonwealth and United Kingdom. The analyzed instruments involve election observation missions during general elections 2000 and presidential elections 2002, the involvement of the Commonwealth Secretary General, also of the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group, made up of Ministers of Foreign Affairs from eight member countries, the suspension of the member state temporarily and also for undetermined period of time. During the Zimbabwe crisis one other instrument was invented, the troika of states that was deciding about the other steps. However all instruments appeared to be unsuccessful because Zimbabwe lacked the will to cooperate.

The current situation of tuberculosis incidence and mortality in selected African states
Chmelařová, Tereza ; Hulíková Tesárková, Klára (advisor) ; Kalibová, Květa (referee)
The current situation of tuberculosis incidence and mortality in selected African states Abstract This bachelor thesis focuses on the issue of tuberculosis incidence and mortality in eight African states, which are on the list of high burden countries (Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, South Africa, Zimbabwe). The aim of this work is to describe the current situation of tuberculosis incidence and mortality in these states and evaluate the development of the level of tuberculosis incidence and mortality in the period of 2000-2017. Further, work evaluates the current situation of multidrug resistant tuberculosis and the results of treatment. Since we are focusing on the developing countries, where the data availability is not always good, we will also focus on the problem of data availability in our selected states. Based on the analytical part of this work, we can conclude that most of the selected states probably will not be able to achieve the 80% reduction in the tuberculosis incidence rate, compared with levels in 2015. Keywords: tuberculosis incidence, tuberculosis mortality, tuberculosis, multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, African region
