Dealing with Gender-based violence at Universities : an example from the Faculty of Law of Charles University
Andreska, Zuzana ; Friedel, Tomáš (advisor) ; Ondřejková, Jana (referee)
This thesis deals with the issue of addressing gender-based violence in the academic environment at the institutional level as an emerging agenda of university administration. Gender-based violence takes various forms, ranging from normalized verbal expressions based on gender stereotypes (psychological violence), gender-based discrimination (economic violence), sexual harassment to sexual coercion or rape (sexualized violence). As such, gender-based violence constitutes an obstacle to the fulfilment of the functions of universities and has an increased negative impact on access to education for marginalised groups of students. Using a case study method, this paper examines what solutions to gender-based violence have been adopted at the Faculty of Law of Charles University as of June 2022 and how the institutional solutions are reflected by those involved in their development. The theoretical contribution of the analysis of the process of institutional norm creation through the perspective of socio-legal studies and feminist critique of law lies in the identification of several types of resistances to fulfilling the obligation to create a safe learning and working environment by regulating gender-based violence as a type of undesirable social behaviour through internal regulations. These are...

Vrbová, Johana ; Mulák, Jiří (advisor) ; Beranová, Andrea (referee)
THE PRINCIPLE OF LEGALITY AND OPPORTUNITY IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS Abstract This diploma thesis deals with the issue of the principle of legality and opportunity in criminal proceedings. The aim of this thesis was to establish the development of exceptions to the principle of legality. The introductory part focuses on the conceptual definition of both principles, how the view of expert criminal law authors on both principles has changed until current definition. The section on the definition of both principles is followed by their embedding and form in the criminal codes of the years 1873, 1950, 1956, 1961, up to the current version of the Criminal Procedure Code. On what principles were these criminal codes based and what purpose the principle of legality fulfilled, or whether there were exceptions to this principle in the individual criminal codes. The principle of legality imposes the duty on the prosecutor to prosecute all crimes which he becomes aware of, so the thesis then focuses on this duty and how the principle of legality is related to other general principles. The main focus of this thesis is to analyse the individual exceptions to the principle of legality that are enshrined in the current version of the Criminal Procedure Code and those that are based on directly applicable legal regulation of...

Immunity of deputies and senators
Popelková, Eva ; Kudrna, Jan (advisor) ; Syllová, Jindřiška (referee)
The presented diploma thesis focuses on the parliamentary immunity of Deputies and Senators in the Czech Republic and consists of two not explicitly titled parts. The first one deals with the genesis of the concept of immunity; the historical course describes the origin of the concept that goes back to the 13th century. Immunity might have been described as protection given by an English monarch towards Representatives; it gradually changed in privileged status recognition of a newly emerging institution, nowadays called Parliament. This excursion back into the 800 year history is supposed to help us understand the basic idea that the immunity of deputies or senators serves as an instrument of protection of a legislative body, or rather the Parliament of the Czech Republic. As for the immunity of deputies (senators) in the Czech Republic, relevant chapters deal with the first attempts to create functional constitutions at the end of the 19th century when Bohemia was part of the Austrian empire. Significant space is dedicated to the 1920 Constitutional Act, which may be considered as a crucial document for today's concept of the immunity of deputies and senators in the Czech Republic. Finally, the first part includes also chapters dealing with later constitutions from 1948 and 1960. The second part...

Immunity of Members of Parliament in Selscted States: Study 1.175
Medková, Eva ; Nemeth, Marek ; Syllová, Jindřiška
V obecném úvodu je popsán institut parlamentní imunity jako jeden z nástrojů ochrany nerušené činnosti zákonodárného sboru. Jeho historické kořeny sahají již do středověku, kde bylo nezbytné chránit nově se vytvářející stavovská shromáždění před zásahy tehdy mocných panovníků. Postupem historického vývoje se institut rozpadl na dvě rozdílné a přesto propojené části, na neodpovědnost poslanců a na jejich nestíhatelnost. Zatímco neodpovědnost chrání proti stíhání za hlasování a některé projevy, které v parlamentu činí, často v rámci výkonu svých povinností, nestíhatelnost zabezpečuje, že je poslanec chráněn před zákonným stíháním trestného činu, správního deliktu či občanskoprávního aktu. Zatímco právní úprava neodpovědnosti je ve zkoumaných zemích více či méně obdobná (doba jejího trvání bývá neomezená, možnost jejího odejmutí je ve většině případů vyloučena), je právní úprava nestíhatelnosti značně odlišná. Jednotlivé úpravy (až na drobné výjimky) spojují dvě věci. První z nich je prolomení imunity ve smyslu nestíhatelnosti poslance v případě, že je přistižen při činu (někdy úplné jindy částečné), druhou je stanovení doby, na kterou se nestíhatelnost vztahuje (jde v naprosté většině případů jen o dobu výkonu mandátu poslance). Jsou však i takové země, které nestíhatelnost neupravují a staví tak poslance ve vztahu k trestnímu a příp. i správnímu stíhání naroveň běžnému občanovi. S jednotlivými právními úpravami rozsahu poslanecké imunity, které ve zkoumaných zemích platí, se může čtenář seznámit v přehledné tabulce.
