The civil war in Somalia
Netopilová, Eliška ; Kochan, Jan (advisor) ; Pavlicová, Vendula (referee)
The level of living in many states in Africa is below-average, when compared to the European standard. One of the main challenges of the UN is peacemaking and peacekeeping in an international community. The UN tries to reach the point by using various means. In case of Sub-Saharan Africa, therefore Somalia too, exerts the UN an influence by force of peacekeeping missions and indirectly by means of specialized agencies of the UN. The aspiration of this bachelor thesis is to assess the effects of the UN and the specialized agencies of the UN on the conflict solution and on the level of living of the people living in Somalia. Somalis suffer from malnutrition, dehydration and mortal diseases by reason of a civil war that has lasted for more than two decades. High rate of illiteracy also reduces prospects for well-paid job and thus the ability to make livelihood. The UN tries to handle the situation inter alia by security reasons. By ensuring primary human needs would be created social harmony and reduced crime that could be a potential threat to the international community.

Insufficient delimitation of rights of ownership and its contexture on blood diamonds
Reif, František ; Antoš, Ondřej (advisor) ; Chalupníček, Pavel (referee)
This work investigates how the delimitation of rights of ownership influences economic and political stabilities of the country which is characterized by large mineral riches, particularly by diamonds. Theoretical part of the work is summarizing actual knowledge of several important economists in a spere of juridical delimitation of the private ownership and its subsequent protection. Precisely existence of this two elements is a condition for stability of economy, its long-term qrowth and entire welfare of society. In a practical part of the work these theoretical conclusions are applied to problems of so-called blood diamonds, existence of which was caused patricularly by absence of private ownership and its protection in quite a number of African countries. The closing part of the work is answering the query if a Kimberley's process, which tried to solve problems of blood diamonds, can from the long-term point of view represent an insurance against their prospective further revert to the world-wide markets.
