RESUMÉ This thesis is concerned with equal treatment and prohibition of employment discrimination. I deal with international, European and Czech antidiscrimination law. The text is divided into an introduction, four main chapters, divided into subchapters, and a conclusion. The first chapter defines the fundamental terms, which are equality and discrimination. At first, I distinguish formal and substantive equality. In context of substantive equality, I explain the concepts of equal opportunity and equality of outcome. In the following part of the chapter I deal with the concept of discrimination. I describe the basic forms of discrimination: Direct and indirect discrimination. I also briefly discuss the issue of multiple discrimination. The second chapter concerns the most important international conventions that are related to my thesis topic. Those are the conventions of United Nations, Council of Europe and International Labour Organization. The third chapter focuses on the European Union law.

The relevant case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union is regarded here as well. Great attention is given to the issue of discrimination against persons with...

This diploma deals with the problem of the participation of Roma in the work market. The scope of the investigation is focused on the Broumov region, where I look for possible causes, hurdles and reasons for Roma unemployment. The empirical part deals with gathering data from three different informants. The goal of this research is a complex overview of the actual situation from the view of employers, Roma themselves, and the state, represented by the Job Centre (Work Offive). To this end I used the involved observation method, and in-depth interviews. The target of the diploma was to find out what the main hurdles are in the scope of the participation of Broumov Roma in the work market, and what are the main obstacles to the participation of Roma in the work market. The result of the completed research is that among the main obstacles are insufficient education, low qualifications, frequent property re-possession and the unwillingness of employers to employ Roma. The source of this unwillingness is distrust of Roma due to bad experience with this minority.

This work examines the compatibility of prohibition of discrimination in private law and the principle of autonomy of will which is the leading principle of private law. For this purpose, the work analyses both principles and their limits, examines their conflict and possible coexistence. First of all, this work deals with the prohibition of discrimination in private relationships and the extend of its effect. This extend is limited by the scope of the Antidiscrimination Act as well as by certain exceptions from equal treatment. Considering the fact that antidiscrimination law does not have a long tradition in the Czech Republic, this work uses international law and EU law, as well as relevant case law, to interpret the norms of antidiscrimination law. Further, this work focuses on the principle of autonomy of will which is the fundamental prerequisite for realization of the will of individuals in private law. Besides the content of the principle of autonomy of will, this work analyses its limitations given by private law acts, especially Civil Code and Labour Code. The conflict of prohibition of discrimination and the autonomy of will is can be perceived from different perspectives. Some of them are mentioned in this work. In essence, this conflict is a conflict of two fundamental rights, equality...

in English - The Employment of Persons with Disabilities in the Czech Republic The topic of the thesis is the matter of employment of persons with disabilities in the Czech Republic. I selected this topic based on both my own work experience in this area, especially trainings for disabled persons, as well as provision of advice to persons with disabilities and insight gained during the above- mentioned activities as well as my efforts to deepen the related knowledge in the area. Based on the activities in this field of law I learned about problematic aspects, problematic and old legislation, frauds in the area of substitute performance and secondary problems related to employment of persons with disabilities, especially in the area of numerous changes in the area of cards for special benefits or compensatory aids. The more problems I knew about, the more I was convinced that I wanted to deal with them in my scientific work. Another reason was that within the primary research I learned that no professional publication was published in past five years. So, I would be pleased if this thesis contributed to development of labour law and social security law. The thesis is composed of eight parts. The first part deals with the definition of the concepts "person with disabilities", "disability", and other...

This thesis examines the effect of foreign nationality on the outcomes of criminal process in the Czech Republic. Foreign citizens are overrepresented by 2% compared to their share in population in all stages of the criminal process, suggesting possible discrimination by domestic authorities. Using rich case level datasets from 2005 to 2015 observed gaps are decomposed to part explained by a difference in the objective characteristics of the cases and unexplained part, suggesting possible inequality of treatment. Foreigner gaps in probability of charge, probability of conviction, probability of imprisonment, length of the sentence and probability of release from prison on parole are decomposed. Majority of observed disparities in the outcomes can be attributed to higher involvement of foreigners in more serious crimes compared to nationals. Unexplained disparities remain in probability of imprisonment and probability of release on parole, suggesting possible unequal treatment in these two outcomes.
