International legal recognition of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo
Skala, Jakub ; Tejchman, Miroslav (advisor) ; Šindelář, Jan (referee)
This seminar paper addresses the issue of international recognition of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo. The work is based on the application of pre-defined criteria of statehood on specific cases and their comparison. The result is confirmation of the hypothesis that neither of these states do not meet the requirements for recognition of statehood under international law. The seminar paper with the benefit of hindsight validates previous findings and summarizes the abnormal development of the Balkan Peninsula and it stimulates further research in the future.

The Relation between Justice and the State and its transformation in present times
Koloušek, Martin ; Tryzna, Jan (referee)
The Relation between Justice and the State and its transformation in present times Abstract This thesis deals with the relation between justice and the state. The concept of justice is discussed and examined since the beginnings of philosophy of law, yet its content is not conclusively defined. There is no satisfactory answer to the question what is just. The concept of the state is, despite its complicated development, more settled. Interestingly enough, the relation between both concepts were discussed almost as often and as thoroughly, as both concepts separately - especially in the context of the question of whether and what state is just. This thesis examines both of those concepts and puts them in a connection - it shows, that the relation between justice and a state is necessary. The starting points of this claim are - apart from the analysis of historical opinions on both concepts - the idea of Hans Kelsen, that absolute justice is inaccessible to human knowledge and thus we have to settle for relative justice, and the thesis of G. W. F. Hegel, according to whom that, what is real, is reasonable, and that what is reasonable is real. Based on this thesis, a new thesis is defined: that what is real, is just. This is a concept of relative justice - justice is dependent on a particular time and space,...
