Iran, Jakub ; Hejzlarová, Eva (advisor) ; Kohoutek, Jan (referee)
This diploma thesis is focused on finding out the attitudes of small municipalities to requests for information under Act No. 106/1999 Coll., On Free Access to Information. The main aim of this work is to examine these attitudes and try to find the causes of negative attitudes. At the same time, it is also secondary ambition to 1) analyze the applicability of the right to information in the context of small municipalities and 2) try to suggest possible measures that could reduce the negative attitudes of mayors of small municipalities to the right to information. In the diploma thesis, the mayors of small municipalities are viewed from the perspective of the theory of street-level bureaucracy, whose actions have a real impact on the implementation of public policies. At the same time, policy failure is a marginal concept, which looks at the law on free access to information as an example of a failure of public policies.

The right to be forgotten on the internet
Jůzová, Jana ; Papík, Richard (advisor) ; Šlerka, Josef (referee)
Diploma thesis The Right to be Forgotten on the Internet applies to the functions of Internet search engines, search algorithms and the impact of the digital footprint that on the Internet user essentially leaves. With this issue is, on the one hand, inseparably linked the protection of personal data in the online environment, on the other hand the constitutionally enshrined right to information and other fundamental rights. Not ignored should be also the risk of censorship of the Internet. An application of the right to be forgotten adds a whole new dimension to this problems. The right to be forgotten is inferred from the judgment of the European Court of Justice on 13 May 2014 in the case Costeja versus Google Spain, where an Internet user named Mario Costeja Gonzáles first succeeded with a request of removal of unflattering information about himself from results of the search engine Google. Thus a reform precedent will have a big impact on seeking information on the Internet in the future, since the pronouncement of the judgment about the removal of his personal data may ask any European Internet user. The thesis aims to analyze the issue of right to be forgotten in the context of searching for information on the Internet in the European Internet environment - it means not to be searched on the...

Information on the environment
Švecová, Klára ; Franková, Martina (advisor) ; Humlíčková, Petra (referee)
Although these days, we can perceive the right for environmental information as something automated and quite natural in a democratic society, we must realize that it was far from it in the past. Hand in hand with the principle of secretiveness of state administration, the public had virtually no possibility to obtain information concerning not only the state of the environment but also general information concerning almost anything. It is not surprising after all because before 1989, neither the general right for information nor the right for environmental information were protected by law, less alone by the constitution. Nevertheless, the democratic changes which took place after the Velvet Revolution produced changes also in the field of the right for information and this right was, both generally - as a right for information, and specifically - as a right for environmental information, included in the legal regulation of the greatest legal force, the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, which became a part of the constitutional order of the Czech Republic on the basis of the resolution of the Czech National Council presidium No. 2/1993 Coll. On the basis of its constitutional protection, the right for environmental information was provided for also by law (Act No. 123/1998 Coll.) and...

Conflict of right to information and privacy
Hodina, Martin ; Pítrová, Lenka (advisor) ; Svoboda, Petr (referee)
Conflict of right to information and privacy - Abstract The presented rigorous thesis concerns with the potential conflict and mutual interaction of both mentioned basic human rights based on the application of The Freedom of Information Act. The Author gained experience in this branch thanks to his work as a lawyer in the department of legislation and internal affairs of South Bohemian Regional Authority. The argumentation in this thesis combines both the point of view of the public servant of a public authority as well as the appeal authority.

Right to information provides any person, not only the citizens, a great instrument to gain a general information of a wide scale hold by the public sector. This instrument is currently very efficient and ensures among other instruments a greater transparency of the public sector. The dark side of this right is the negative influence for the affected persons, those may be restricted in their rights, especially the right to privacy. This affection is especially significant in the issue of the public means recipients. The presented thesis is divided into three parts. The theoretical treatise, which is performed in the first part, could be summarized in the...

State secrecy v. Freedom of information - Bradley Manning's case in the historical context
Martinec, Tomáš ; Kozák, Kryštof (advisor) ; Calda, Miloš (referee)
This thesis called State Secrecy vs. Freedom of Information - Bradley Manning's case in historical context compares the case of Bradley Manning, alleged source of leaks in recent Wikileaks affair with the precedential case of Daniel Ellsberg that took place in the beginning of the 1970s. Ellsberg provided the New York Times with a copy of a "Top Secret - Sensitive" report on the evolvement of US foreign policy towards the Indochina region after the WWII. The thesis argues that even though both cases differ, in particular, in their execution, the governmental conduct with respect to both sources of leaks was inadequate and a mistrial might be declared in Manning's case as in was during the prosecution of Daniel Ellsberg. The thesis also argues that if the trial is to be held during the Manning's case, there are some solid arguments in favour of the defence.

Kilian, Vojtěch ; Korbel, František (advisor) ; Pítrová, Lenka (referee)
Title of the Thesis: Freedom of information rights to obtaining information on salaries and bonuses of employees in public administration bodies This thesis aims to analyse the theoretical framework of the freedom of information laws in the Czech republic, with a particular focus on obtaining information about salaries, wages, and benefits of public administration employees, and its subsequent comparison with the practice. The goal of this thesis is not only to summarise the development of jurisprudence concerning the freedom of information laws up to this day, which will be dealt with in chapter II, as well as in the relevant parts of chapter III.1 and 2 respectively, dealing with the right to privacy and information self-determination. More importantly, this thesis aims to offer a possible solution to the conflict between, on the one hand, the right to obtain relevant information pursuant to the freedom of information laws, and, on the other hand, the right to privacy and information self-determination, using the proportionality test described in chapter III.4. In doing so, this thesis offers a framework that has not yet been used in the relevant literature. Following a short summary, the thesis introduces the sources of the freedom of information laws relevant to the Czech legal system in order...
