This thesis explores German responses to United States diplomatic actions during the period, 1939-1941. The history and events involving Europe prior to World War II are discussed.

The thesis covers the privileges and immunities provided to diplomatic agents in order to facilitate the performance of their functions. The main source of law is the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations which has been signed at the end of the Vienna Conference on 18th April 1961 and remained unchanged even after 50 years in force. It reflected the previous codification attempts as well as the existing practice of the contractual states and established rules that together with the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations represent the basis in the field of diplomatic and consular law. The aim of the thesis is to describe particular privileges and immunities of the diplomatic agents, evaluate their applicability on the current diplomatic practice and consider whether the Vienna Convention represents a suitable regulation of the modern diplomatic relations. Examining both the practice of national courts and the International Court of Justice it is shown how the practice has changed over the past 50 years. The thesis covers the limits of such privileges and immunities, points out the possibilities of their abuse and presents examples of conflicts that arise in the current diplomatic practice. The thesis first deals with theoretical issues - it provides definitions of the diplomatic privileges and...

Legal instruments of protection of diplomatic missions and representatives This diploma thesis thematically deals with public international law, namely with the law of diplomatic and consular relations focusing on the legal instruments of the protection of diplomatic missions and representations. It aims to analyze selected international legal instruments and to evaluate the effectiveness of protection provided by them. The first chapter deals with the right of a sovereign state to establish diplomatic relations, i. e. ius legationis. Briefly mentioned are attempts to unofficial codification of the law of diplomatic and consular relations, which preceeded the official codification of the Vienna Convention, which are developed by the International Law Commission. The bulk of the chapter is devoted to the process of creation and adoption of both the Vienna Conventions. In the second chapter are analyzed those provisions of Vienna conventions, which provide preventative protection to diplomatic agents and consular officers as well as to premises of diplomatic missions and representatives. These provisions govern legal institut od diplomatic inviolability and also the special duty to protect diplomatic misssions and representatives provided by the receiving State. The third chapter focuses on selected...

The thesis describes privileges and immunities provided to offices of diplomatic missions in order to facilitate carrying out international relations. The key legal document regulating diplomatic privileges and immunities is the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations which commemorated 50 years of its existence this year - since it was signed on 18 April 1961 after the Vienna Conference. The aim of the thesis is to describe the contents of the individual privileges and immunities and to consider to which extent the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations represents a suitable legal instrument even for the needs of the today's practice of diplomatic relations. First the thesis deals with general issues related to ensuring diplomatic privileges and immunities, theories which justify their necessity and selected provisions of the Vienna Convention. This is followed by an analysis of the individual privileges and immunities of a diplomatic mission - the right to display a flag, the inviolability of mission premises, the inviolability of mission archives and documents, tax privileges and the freedom of communication.

The topic of this diploma thesis is the Czechoslovak-Chilean diplomatic and business relations in the 1960s - 1990s. Even though I am focussing on the period 1960s - 1990s Sixties, I decided to include in this thesis also the previous periods from 1945, which were in my opinion very important for a greater understanding of the whole topic. Whereas it is impossible to study this topic without any general introduction about the history of the Czechoslovak diplomacy, the first chapter is dedicated to it. The next part of the thesis is focused on the diplomatic and business relationships of the mentioned countries. This part of the thesis is divided into four periods which are determined by specific years, which were critical for the history of the Czechoslovak-Chilean diplomatic relationships. As the Chilean-Czechoslovak institute was hugely important in the history of the Czechoslovak-Chilean relationship, it has been included in this thesis as a separate chapter.
