Neugebauerová, Monika ; Trávníčková, Zuzana (advisor) ; Knotková, Vladimíra (referee)
This thesis focuses on the issue of maritime pirate attacks prosecution. The proposal of the establishment of an International Piracy Court is connected to the growth of pirate attacks in the area of the Gulf of Aden off the borders of Somalia between 2007 and 2011. The Somali government was not able to suppress this threat to the international security and pirates often avoided trial.

The aim of this thesis is to evaluate if there actually is the necessity to create an International Piracy Court in the current local and global situation.
