Analysis of trends in international trade in reptiles
BOHATÁ, Marie
International reptile trade is regulated by Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Informations about these transactions are entered into the CITES Trade Database. The aim of this thesis was to organize log entries of reptile international trade taken from this database in 1975 2014 time period and their evalution. The focus was directed at the trade volume, whether traded specimen were outsourced from the wild or from captivity, and traded forms of these specimen. For better understanding and orientation in traded volume conversion to whole organism equivalents was used.
Legal and Political Dimension of International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
Ulík, Karel ; Pulgret, Miroslav (advisor) ; Landovský, Jakub (referee)
The thesis deals with the issue of compliance in the context of international treaties on protection of endangered species. Two important treaties are subject of the analysis - the 1973 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (known as CITES) and the 1946 International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling. My research focuses on the question whether member states comply with their obligations arising from the treaties. If they do not, then I look for a response to the violation such as use of compliance instruments (e. g. sanctions) and its effect on the breaching state, mainly if the response (if there was any) was successful in making the state come back into compliance. Finally, based on experience with CITES, ICRW and other multilateral environmental treaties, I attempt to design some of the new ICRW compliance mechanism features in order to increase its effectiveness.
