1 Enforced Disappearance as a Crime Against Humanity Abstract This thesis deals with the topic of enforced disappearance as a crime against humanity. Although it is not a particularly debated act, it still occurs in some parts of the world. From the perspective of international law, this is an interesting phenomenon, as the systematic or widespread execution of enforced disappearances is considered a crime against humanity. It is a rather effective means of spreading panic and terror, affecting not only the physical and psychological state of the victim, but also his or her relatives and friends. The aim of this paper is to analyse enforced disappearance with a particular focus on the crime against humanity. The thesis is divided into four parts, each of which is further divided into relevant chapters or paragraphs. Thus, it will touch not only on the individual concepts and their origin, but also on the analysis of the important provisions of the two main documents related to enforced disappearance, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance.

Petra Šrédlová Diploma thesis Abstract Abstract The trial of Klaus Barbie was an important turning point in the French memory of the Vichy regime. For a purpose of Barbie's conviction, the interpretation of the crime against humanity was changed in the French legal system. Barbie's victims were, for the first time, given the opportunity to publicly testify.

The trial of Klaus Barbie provided the basic legal and procedural framework later on used by the courts in trials with Vichy's criminals. Moreover, the personality of Klaus Barbie remained sealed in a negative sense in French memory, when he was often remembered on the occasion of various events. The aim of this diploma thesis is to prove that, on the basis of qualitative content analysis of articles by Le Monde containing the term "Klaus Barbie" in the period from July 3, 1988 to July 4, 2017, further development of the phase of Obsession of the Vichy syndrome can be traced, along with its thematic categories and intensity. This diploma thesis also argues that the memory development did not proceed consistently, but kept on returning in the form of various events in order to recall not only Klaus Barbie and his trial, but also other...
