The Right to the Protection of Personal Data in Article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union
Mádr, Petr ; Král, Richard (advisor) ; Zemánek, Jiří (referee)
This thesis deals with the fundamental right to the protection of personal data as enshrined in Article 8 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union ('the Charter'). An analysis of the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on Article 8 of the Charter reveals an intriguing paradox: although this provision has been repeatedly invoked in order to enhance protection of personal data and has featured prominently in several far-reaching judgments (Digital Rights Ireland, Google Spain or Schrems), there is considerable uncertainty as to the substantive scope of the right to the protection of personal data. The relationship between the right to privacy and the right to data protection has proved difficult to untangle, and the autonomous nature of Article 8 of the Charter has not always been respected. The aim of the thesis is to analyse the purpose and content of this fundamental right with reference to the CJEU's case law and recent academic debate. This thesis is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the European legal framework for data protection and demonstrates the limited value of the 'Explanations relating to the Charter' in interpreting Article 8. Chapter 2 analyses the CJEU's approach to interpreting and applying Article 8, while Chapter 3 is...

Čauševič, Azra ; Scheu, Harald Christian (advisor) ; Honusková, Věra (referee)
The aim of the thesis is to analyse asylum law of the European Union with focus on the changes, which introduced the Treaty of Lisbon. The paper describes development of the EU asylum law, establishing of the Common European Asylum System (CAES) and changes that Lisbon Treaty introduced in comparison with the former regulation.

In the first part of the paper the author follows historical development of the asylum law of the European Union and beginning of the harmonization until adoption of the Amsterdam Treaty. The second chapter is dedicated to the establishment of the CAES, which more than 10 years ago became main priority of the asylum policy of the EU and which aims to harmonize asylum laws of the Member States and therefore ensure a unified application not only of international, but also of European legislation from this area. Recent major changes in the structure and functioning of the European Union, which were introduced by the Lisbon Treaty, are in general outlined in the third chapter of this paper. Detailed description of changes is presented in the next chapter, which is divided into section according to the institutions. Each...

Zelnerová, Eliška ; Bayerová, Monika (advisor) ; Flídrová, Eliška (referee)
1 Right to education under European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and Czech Republic Abstract: This thesis deals with the issue of protection of the right to education. It focuses on the conception of the right to education defined by the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. It also compares the article concerning the right to education with other international documents concerning human rights protection such as Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and Convention on the Rights of the Child. It partly examines the definition of this right under the Czech law. The thesis especially pays attention to the case of the Grand Chamber D.H. and others versus Czech Republic, since it is the only decision of European Court of justice concerning right to education which found Czech Republic in breach of the Convention. The aim of this thesis was to find out what influence had this decision on the Czech Republic as well as other member states of the Council of Europe and whether It was succesfully implemented into the Czech legal system. This decision is significant not just for the Czech Republic. It has shed light on the issue faced by many European countries. It became a pilot judgment and was followed by other...

The impact of CJEU case law on the interpretation of the fundamental rights to privacy and data protection
Filipová, Paula ; Scheu, Harald Christian (advisor) ; Svobodová, Magdaléna (referee)
in English This thesis deals with the right to personal data protection as enshrined in Article 8 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (the Charter) and its relationship with Article 7 Charter, the right to respect for private and family life. Since both of the rights have immediate relevance for EU data protection, their coexistence in the Charter necessitates an explanation as to their relationship, interaction and the merit of adding an independent right to personal data protection. However, such explanation is difficult to trace. International human rights instruments have traditionally safeguarded the protection of personal data by the right to privacy. The common constitutional traditions of the Member States differ significantly in the enactment of data protection and the EU legislation in force is likewise treating data protection as a privacy subset. The thesis firstly attempts to assess whether the right to personal data protection is capable of autonomous standing, detached from the privacy right and secondly, whether the CJEU allows the right to personal data protection to stand as an autonomous right in reality. To deal with the first research task, the paper analyses the doctrinal sources discussing the personal data-privacy concepts and seeks to identify the value of Article's 8...

Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the Czech „Opt out“: Study 3.081
Chmel, Marek ; Syllová, Jindřiška
Bruselský summit Evropské rady přijal dne 30. 10. 2009 protokol k závěrům předsednictví. Protokol o uplatňování Listiny základních práv v České republice spočívá v tom, že se Česká republika začleňuje do protokolu č. 30 o uplatňování Listiny základních práv Evropské unie v Polsku a ve Spojeném království. Protokol č. 30 je už začleněn do Lisabonské smlouvy v jejím sjednaném znění. Znění protokolu pro Českou republiku bude (po jeho začlenění do smluvního základu v rámci přístupové smlouvy) shodné jako pro ostatní dva státy. Protokol č. 30 má dva články, dá se však rozdělit do 3 částí. Článek 1 odst. 1 se týká Listiny základních práv EU jako celku, článek 1 odst. 2 se v podstatě týká sociálních práv, článek 2 se týká interpretace určitých pojmů použitých v rámci Listiny základních práv EU. Protokol č. 30 Lisabonské smlouvy a tedy i „český“ protokol, až bude začleněn do smluvního základu EU, vytvoří pro Soudní dvůr více explicitních překážek, pokud by snad chtěl rozšířit pravomoci EU i mimo dosud dané hranice a aplikovat Listinu základních práv EU jako obecně a přímo účinné právo EU. Po prozkoumání protokolu je nutno konstatovat, že obyvatelé České republiky přijetím „českého“ protokolu o žádná práva (ve srovnání s ostatními členskými státy EU) nepřichází. Vnitrostátní soudy i Soudní dvůr nebo další orgány budou moci použít všechna ustanovení Listiny základních práv EU pro interpretaci výkonu všech smluvních pravomocí Unie jak v České republice, tak ve shodném rozsahu v ostatních členských státech.
