The theme of this diploma thesis is the phenomenon of whistleblowing, which has recently become increasingly discussed. The thesis contains seven chapters, in which the author describes the issue of whistleblowing both in theoretical and practical level. Emphasis is placed on defining the concept of whistleblowing, its historical development and exploration of the roots of the first modern whistleblower legislation, which was adopted in 1978 in the United States. The thesis also shows some specifics of whistleblower legislation in countries with Anglo-Saxon legal culture. In the second half, the author deals with the international commitments of the Czech Republic in the area of whistleblowing. It is also mentioned relevant case law of the European Court of Human Rights. Big part of the thesis is devoted to describing the state of the current whistleblowing legislation in the Czech Republic, which is considered to be greatly insufficient. In conclusion, the author suggests de lege ferenda legislative recommendations for future whistleblowing legislation in the Czech Republic.
