Kohoutová, Marie ; Hofmeisterová, Karin (advisor) ; Žíla, Ondřej (referee)
The bachelor's thesis focuses on changes in international criminal law after creation of International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). The impact on internatinal criminal law examines especially with respect to chosen judgements concerning Bosnian Serbs. For this aim it uses mainly an analysis of primary sources, such as judgements of International criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, its founding documents or Un resolutions, and also an analysis of secondary sources concerning international law and historical context of a conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The conclusion of the thesis is based on an analysis of al the sources with respect to current problematics in the area of international criminal law. The study concludes that ICTY definitely had an impact on further functioning of international criminal law, because it was the first judicial institution after the Nuremberg trials that took place almost fifty years ago. The impact of ICTY can be seen on countless legal definitions that ICTY created or specified and also on giving accuracy to many facts of the cases of crimes under international law.

Consociationalism in practice: The case of Bosnia and Herzegovina
Fialová, Tereza ; Němec, Jan (advisor) ; Kuta, Martin (referee)
The model of a consociational democracy, which has been imposed on Bosnia and Herzegovina, has not started working -- not even after 16 years of being applied -- the way it ought to. After the last parliamentary elections, that were held in Bosnia and Herzegovina in October 2010, the effort to assemble the government lasted for 16 months. Moreover, the Serbians, since contracting the Dayton Agreement, which was in fact proposed by the international community, have had rather separatist tendencies. The Croats are not satisfied with the current form of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, where they have to live along with the Bosnians. They demand a creation of the third entity within the regions occupied mostly by their nation. The Bosnians, however, want the country to head towards a unitary state instead. These are not the only conflicts and issues impeding the effective function of the political system. This thesis primarily concentrates on analyzing the causes which constrain from a successful functioning of a consociational democracy in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
