The conception of multiple discrimination in the legal regulation of the European Union
Tóthová, Tímea ; Scheu, Harald Christian (advisor) ; Koldinská, Kristina (referee)
Resumé The conception of multiple discrimination in the legal regulation of the European Union To ensure the equality of individuals in society is one of the most marvelous human ideals. It is generally admitted that the same treatment of people with regard to the acceptance of diversity and between-group differences should be the cornerstone of any modern society. However, is it possible to achieve full equality in society? And what does equality truely mean? Treating everyone in the same way or taking into account the different starting points of individuals? Nowadays we become witnesses that the initial large openness to multiculturalism related to the continuing process of globalization is replaced by a more cautious approach to the different minority groups. As a result, certain groups are exposed to a greater risk of disadvantage mainly due to a combination of different socio-cultural, ethnic, economic and other factors. The aim of my essay is to shed light on the question of equal treatment and non- discrimination law through the relatively new, but in Czech and Central European literature still rarely discussed concept of multiple discrimination. After highlighting the definition of discrimination, the various approaches to equality and other theoretical aspects of discrimination, I am also trying...

Implementation and compliance with international standards on human trafficking
Tóthová, Tímea ; Zemanová, Štěpánka (advisor) ; Trávníčková, Zuzana (referee)
At present, human trafficking is a very lucrative business. It is the third largest illegal market after the trade in arms and drugs, even some authors suggest that in the near future it could get in the first place "in the ranking." For what reason is the trafficking in human beeings so profitable and how states are trying to tackle this phenomenon? What does actually human trafficking involve and what are its impact on the current global world? Although there is a wide range of initiatives and programs, a deeper analysis of the actual situation in the States shows that neither the process of implementation of international standards nor the law enforcement is going smoothly. The aim of my work is to illuminate the phenomenon of human trafficking in regions of Africa and Europe with regard to the operation of international and non-governmental organizations. Firstly to point out that there are some shortcomings in the implementation and compliance with laws on trafficking in persons by States, and secondly that human trafficking is not only the problem of developing world, but it is a growing global problem involving currently also the developed states. The fight against trafficking in human beings requires global action and cooperation of various actors of international relations. It would be more desirable to have a clooser cooperation of international organizations and States particularly in the field of implementation and law compliance.

Development of Slovak-Hungarian Relations in Context of the Dispute Gabčíkovo-Nagymaros
Tóthová, Tímea ; Cibulková, Petra (advisor) ; Trávníčková, Zuzana (referee)
The thesis deals with the development of Slovak-Hungarian relations from the 50`s on. The need for close cooperation between Czechoslovakia and Hungary emerged during the building of the dam Gabčíkovo-Nagymaros. The period of Kadarism in Hungary and the inauguration of Alexander Dubček into the post of Secretary of Communist Party favoured bilateral plans in Eastern block. Undergoing social and political changes in the 80`s caused politization of the issue in Hungary and different perception by both sides of the Treaty of 16 September 1977. Even after the unilateral execution of the option-C by Slovakia and the International Court of Justice judgement, Slovakia still insists on the implementation of the foundng Treaty. Hungary now seems to be trying to evade this unpleasant question of the past.
