Noncompliance with International Norms - The Geneva Conventions of 1949 and the Vietnam War
Kunovská, Kristýna ; Pulgret, Miroslav (advisor) ; Karlas, Jan (referee)
This thesis addresses the issue of non-compliance with international norms, namely the Geneva Conventions of 1949, in the context of the Vietnam War. It inquires into why parties to the conflict did not abide by these international norms. Non-compliance is discussed here from three perspectives: the state level, the communal level, and the structural level. I argue that at each of these levels, an environment for non-compliance was created, in connection with factors such as ambiguity in treaty language, unwillingness to respect the rules, inadequate reaction from the international community, and insufficient means to enforce the norms
Legal status of medical personnel, especially of the International Committee of the Red Cross in armed conflicts
Bejdák, Matěj ; Pulgret, Miroslav (advisor) ; Ludvík, Jan (referee)
The aim of this thesis is to describe the legal status of medical personnel in armed conflicts. An emphasis is laid upon the medical personnel of the International Committee of the Red Cross. The scope of the first part of the thesis is the legal framework governing armed conflicts which is the international humanitarian law; its essential principles, applicability and branches are mainly covered. Further, the thesis describes the status and tasks of the International Committee of the Red Cross within international law. Lastly, the legal status of medical personnel in armed conflicts is described. Since the medical personnel belong among persons protected under the Geneva Conventions of 1949, the vast majority of this part is dedicated to the protection which the international humanitarian law grants to the personnel. The primary (related to the medical personnel themselves) and secondary (related to medical buildings, symbols, etc.) protection is distinguished.
