The aim of this thesis is to describe the fundamental issues related to the future accession of the European Union to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and to provide an overall understanding of the issue. To fulfil this objective, the first part of the thesis deals with the current situation in the european human rights protection system. It introduces the protection system of the Council of Europe as well as the system of protection provided by the European Union.

The right to respect for private and family life
Fremrová, Jolana ; Šturma, Pavel (advisor) ; Hýbnerová, Stanislava (referee)
The right to respect for private and family life Abstract The diploma thesis focuses on the notion of the right to respect for private and family life in the light of the Article 8 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Its aim is to compile a specification of the notion, while using the significant relevant judgments of the European Court of Human Rights or the former European Commission of Human Rights. Despite the fact, that the Convention is perceived as a "living instrument" and the exhaustive definition of the rights and freedoms included is not fixed and not even possible to set, the thesis targets to assemble the mosaic of individual partial aspects, which may, under certain conditions, enjoy the protection under Article 8 of the Convention. The protection of the privacy of an individual is a topic, which is extremely actual and it is probable that its importance is going to even more rapidly increase in the next years. Since the notion of the right to respect for private and family life is a very broad concept and the extent of the diploma thesis is not capable to deal it in a whole range, I have chosen its environmental aspects as a major interest of the thesis. In spite of the fact that the Convention includes no right to a decent environment, the Court has...

Case-law of the European Court of Human Rights in Relation to Social Rights.
Rudolfová, Iveta ; Koldinská, Kristina (advisor) ; Tomšej, Jakub (referee)
This diploma thesis analyses the status of social rights in the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights. It aims to show, particularly through the analysis of selected court decisions, how the European Court of Human Rights, as a control mechanism established by the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms seeking to provide recognised rights and freedoms with practical and effective protection, deals with the absence of social rights in the Convention's catalogue. The thesis is divided into four chapters. The first chapter is dedicated to the brief description of the Convention, its control mechanism and the catalogue of declared fundamental rights and freedoms. In this section the thesis also deals with the question, what were the reasons that lead to the absence of social rights in the Convention's catalogue and what consequences can be draw from this fact for the status of social rights. In this context the thesis discusses the principle of indivisibility of human rights, according to which all human rights hold an equal status and which requires that human rights of all categories are protected and promoted with the same emphasis. The second chapter deals with the way the Court includes social aspects of guaranteed civil and political rights in its...
