The Position of Morocco in International Relations
Pudelová, Tereza ; Volenec, Otakar (advisor) ; Dubský, Zbyněk (referee)
The Kingdom of Morocco is special for its geographical location in the centre of interests of the African, European and American continents and for its position as a monarchy. Morocco s historical tradition as a monarchy does not prevent it from addressing important social changes. In spite of its geopolitical importance, Moroccan history and politics have long been overlooked. International development of the last two decades have shown that the importance of the Kingdom in regional and international environment is growing. Morocco proved to be an important ally of the West and the Gulf states in the Global War on Terror, the events of the Arab Spring and the current refugee crisis. Foreign relations with the United States, France and Spain have a long history and are mostly based on economic and security cooperation. Morocco is also in the centre of interests of the European Union, especially within the framework of the European neighbourhood policy. Relations with the Gulf monarchies have once again gained its importance in the context of the security threat that was posed by the revolutions of the Arab Spring. Moroccan foreign policy agenda is dominated by the dispute over Western Sahara which creates a burden for normalization of relations with Algeria and also for further integration of the Maghreb region.

Medzinárodneprávne postavenie Západnej Sahary
Turányi, Samuel ; Kochan, Jan (advisor) ; Pavlicová, Vendula (referee)
The submitted thesis deals with the international legal personality of Western Sahara. It aims to analyse the status of Western Sahara in terms of international law and international politics. It also tries to review attitudes of all relevant and important actors and outline possible future scenarios in the region. The theoretical part involves the question of international legal person-ality, sovereignty of the state, its recognition and the focus is put mainly on the concept of the right to self-determination. This long-standing conflict between the representatives of Moroc-co and the Polisario Front results in the suffering of Sahrawi people and any significant shift towards the solution is yet nowhere to be seen. Except for the neighbouring states, actors who internationally intervene are for example Spain, France and the USA. Since the agreed cease-fire between both parties in 1991 decolonization of Western Sahara has still not taken place and various proposals to solve the conflict are constantly being refused by either of sides up to this day.

Diplomatic and consular relations of the territories with disputed international legal subjectivity
Jakubec, Aleš ; Trávníčková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
This thesis aims to analyze the issue of the creation of a state as the most important subject of the international relations, then the concept of international legal personality and especially the territories with controversial international legal personality. The thesis closely analyzes the emergence and recognition of the state and the right of peoples to self-determination in the contrast with the principle of territorial integrity. In the practical part, the case of Kosovo and Western Sahara is examined by a qualitative analysis. It describes the process of these entities becoming independent, the current situation and the diplomatic relations of both entities. It is outlined what Kosovo and Western Sahara are doing to improve their recognition as well as the reasons why some states recognize other entities and some other not. The thesis has a goal to unify the views on the issues of secession and recognition of newly created territories and to show a different approach to the process to independence of Kosovo and Western Sahara by the international community.

The Future of Western Sahara
Juklová, Jana ; Kváča, Vladimír (advisor) ; Kochan, Jan (referee)
The thesis deals with the international law situation of Western Sahara. It analyses the historical development of Western Sahara, in particular its decolonization, and by means of the analysis of the proposed solutions it tries to reach the actual status of the area and outlines some possibilities of the future development. The right of self-determination of Saharawi people is the key issue and appears in many resolutions of the United Nations dealing with Western Sahara. This territory is the topic of long-lasting disputes between Morocco and the Front Polisario. Attempts to solve the problem have lasted for many years but there has been almost no advance because of the different attitudes of the parties. Not only neighbouring countries but also other states with the special interests in the region interfere in the negotiations. Since 1991, when the ceasefire came into effect after many years of the military conflict, the proposals of solution have been refused.
