State secrecy v. Freedom of information - Bradley Manning's case in the historical context
Martinec, Tomáš ; Kozák, Kryštof (advisor) ; Calda, Miloš (referee)
This thesis called State Secrecy vs. Freedom of Information - Bradley Manning's case in historical context compares the case of Bradley Manning, alleged source of leaks in recent Wikileaks affair with the precedential case of Daniel Ellsberg that took place in the beginning of the 1970s. Ellsberg provided the New York Times with a copy of a "Top Secret - Sensitive" report on the evolvement of US foreign policy towards the Indochina region after the WWII. The thesis argues that even though both cases differ, in particular, in their execution, the governmental conduct with respect to both sources of leaks was inadequate and a mistrial might be declared in Manning's case as in was during the prosecution of Daniel Ellsberg. The thesis also argues that if the trial is to be held during the Manning's case, there are some solid arguments in favour of the defence.

The right to information
Strava, Ondřej ; Korbel, František (advisor) ; Millerová, Ivana (referee)
The text deals with the question of defining what exactly right to information is. As the public debate concerning different institutes of the right to information and transparency goes on intensively and extensively in the Czech republic as well as worldwide, it has become the aim of the author to search for the roots of the right, of both its restrictive and extensive scope and its guiding principles. Such a research should be useful for the interpretation and the aplication of the relevant law and serve as a guide for the proper understanding of the rights' social and legal importance. The first part of the text after the introduction describes the term of the right to information, it's evolution in history, philosophical, political and legal basis and contemporary meaning. The following chapter concerns itself with the material sources of the right, i. e. the reason and meaning of the existence of the right. It explains the rights' commonly recognized width and depth and its liberal and conservative tendencies reaching from the current events into the even more informational based future. The conflict of the right with the other interests of modern society is covered and the different formal sources of the right are listed demonstratively. The third chapter examines the universally acknowledged...

Right to privacy versus right to information
Škopec, Antonín ; Sigmund, Tomáš (advisor) ; Toman, Prokop (referee)
This paper concerns with collisions between two fundamental human rights -- between right to privacy and right to information. In some cases, one of these rights must be limited, in order to fulfill the other right. It is very difficult to decide, which of these rights should take precedence in these conflicts. This paper tries to deal with question whether there can be found a general principle, how to handle these collisions of rights.
