The diploma thesis "Instruments of protection of human rights in the European union - Perspective for a common EU policy?" stems from the assumption that the European Union increasingly accentuates the human rights protection, both inside and outside the Community. The main hypothesis is that this process is leading to the creation of a common human rights policy in the EU. The guiding line of the thesis is whether it is possible to find sufficient indicia pointing to a foreseeable creation of such a policy, e.g. will from the side of institutions and other actors. The first part of the thesis examines the definition of human rights in the EU, levels of their protection and human rights provisions of the founding treaties, their revisions and other relevant documents. The second part focuses on the main actors in the system of human rights protection in the EU and evaluation of their activities in this field. The perspective of the common human rights policy is a topic of the third part. It focuses mainly on the analysis of the current state of the human rights protection in the European Union and the will of actors to proceed together in this area. The thesis is predominantly conducted with the empirical-analytical method; further legal analysis and qualitative textual analysis are used. The main...

The right to due process is an important part of both civil and arbitration proceedings. However, this basic right is protected in different ways and even the mechanisms for checking whether the process adhered to the due process rules are different. For standard civil proceedings in Europe, European Court for Human rights is the final body which decides whether the rules on due process were adhered to. Commercial arbitration does not have a mechanism for checking whether the proceedings were justly carried within itself, therefore it is checked within the enforcement proceedings which are in most states covered by the New York Convention. In investment arbitration, the adherence to due process will be analyzed within the annulment proceedings. The thesis "Right to Due Process: the comparison of arbitration and human rights case law" deals with the question whether the argumentation of the European Court of Human Rights in its rich case law can be used on arbitration cases where the accessibility of case law is problematic. First, the thesis looks at whether there is a standard of the protection of due process in arbitration and according to the European Court for Human Rights. This thesis further deals with the direct or indirect use of the European Charter on Human rights for arbitration. For the...

Necessary help provided to the victim is not only specialized psychological and social assistance, but also straightforward financial help and a kind and understanding approach. One of the main goals of the Crime Victims' Rights Act is prevention and protection from the secondary victimization, which is...

The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the status of the EU Charter in the system of EU law and its application by Member States. EU fundamental rights in the EU can be perceived as controversial, because they can be regarded as a means of control of Union institutions, but also as a way of expansion of EU competences. In this context I will explore the EU Charter. The thesis is composed of 5 Chapters. In the First Chapter I will explain why human rights protection was not included in the Founding Treaties; furthermore I will elaborate on the case law of the Court which gave rise to EU fundamental rights as general principles of EU law. I will also explain why human rights are a sensitive issue between the EU and Member States. Chapter Two examines the development, content and the legal effects of the EU Charter. It also explores the parallel regime of the EU Charter and EU fundamental rights as general principles after the Treaty of Lisbon. Chapter Three is the core of this thesis. It explains the scope of application of the EU Charter by Member States. Based on the case law of the Court of Justice it will be shown that Member States are bound by EU fundamental rights when they act in the scope of EU law, which comprises of implementation of EU law, but also of derogation from EU law. It will be shown...

This master thesis focuses on social business and its influence in economy. Social business as a tool to solve social problems is approximated by development aid as its subset and by human rights violations as related social problems.
