The aim of my rigorous thesis is to complement my diploma thesis and to analyse provisional measures indicated by various human rights adjudicators from different continents. Main focus is put on legal provisions empowering international courts and quasi- judicial organs to indicate provisional measures, examining whether provisional measures are legally binding, exploring the extent to which international forums indicate provisional measures, highlighting some specific types of provisional measures and examining whether we can answer the question whether addressees do implement issued provisional measures in proper manner.

Kimelová, Anna ; Váška, Jan (advisor) ; Kasáková, Zuzana (referee)
Bachelor thesis "Debate about the introduction of a Bill of Rights in the United Kingdom" deals with a debate which has been taking place in the United Kingdom since 2007 and which mainly considers the possibility of introducing an original British Bill of Rights. The thesis presents the most important moments of the debate and opinions of its most significant participants. These are politicians, scholars in the fields of constitutional law and human rights as well as non-governmental organisations, think-tanks and pressure groups. The thesis analyses their arguments and opinions and examines which of these arguments are the most often mentioned and are the most influential. In general, the debate deals most with the questions whether a Bill of Rights should be introduced, what it should include and how it should be entrenched. The character and the content of the debate are significantly affected by the discussion of the current protection of rights in the country.

Its critique stood at the beginning of the debate about a Bill of Rights and the thesis argues that it belongs among the most important arguments for the introduction of a new Bill of...
