Assessment of legal updates on civil protection/defense in relation to trends in the area of civil protection/defense and comprehensive security of the population
ONDRÁK, Petr
The objective of this study is to evaluate the trends in individual periods of selected legal and sub-legal regulations on civil protection/defense in the Czech Republic from 1935 to the present. In addition to presenting an overview and description of individual legal provisions, the study also outlines the characteristics of the period in which the legal provisions were created, approved, and subsequently enacted. Three European countries were selected and briefly described for the purposes of the overview and comparison ? specifically, Italy, Switzerland, and Austria. In all of them, much emphasis has been put on the population?s protection, so that these democratic states have considerable and valuable experience in protecting their citizens in their respective geographic and historical setup. Using a multicriteria analysis, a comparison of legal provisions on civil protection/defense in the territory of the Czech Republic was made from 1935 to the present. Since it was not feasible to compare all the legal and sub-legal regulations in the given area, the study concentrated on the main legislation during that period. The period under study, i.e., 1935 to the present, was divided into segments where significant amendments were adopted in the area of civil defense in the territory of the Czech Republic. Subsequently, these main provisions on civil defense were detailed so as to make the primary objectives of the individual provisions obvious. The chapter containing compilation of the results describes selected key legislation in the periods from 1935 to 1961, then from 1961 to 2000, and finally from 2000 to the present, including a comprehensive table with a brief description of selected regulations. In conclusion, it was necessary to state that endangerment of the population, both with respect to civil and military threats, still exists. Therefore, it is essential to continue to amend and supplement the current legal provisions on a current basis, even though the legislation is very good, quality-wise, to be able to respond flexibly and effectively in the event that the population of the Czech Republic is exposed to any of the potential threats.
