The reaction of the Belarusian authorities to the August 2020 demonstrations, drew strong condemnation from the Czech Republic. The article analyzes the reasons for such close attention of the Czech officials to the Belarusian problems. The historical context of the Czech Republic’s support for the Belarusian opposition is outlined; revealed the human rights and value aspects of the foreign policy of Prague, where support for democracy and human rights is an integral feature of Czech diplomacy at its present stage of development. The author examines the «Program of Transformational Cooperation» of the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He comes to the conclusion that the Belarusian direction has always been among the priorities and has not disappeared from the agenda. However, the stability of the Belarusian regime led to the fact that the Czechs began to contribute to the development of democracy in other countries, where its «implantation» was more real.

Research background: Donors provide development aid from various reasons: while some of them might give aid based on the recipient´s needs, some countries pursue their own agendas with their development programmes. Visegrad Group countries are mostly considered as egoistic donors that try to support security in the East European region and promote their trade. Purpose of the article: This article draws back on the existing literature that focused on the motives behind the Czech development aid and examines influence of both egoistic and altruistic variables to determine which of these variables are important for the selection of countries to the aid portfolio and the allocation of aid funds. The researched variables are: number of asylum seekers, debt to the Czech Republic, Czech exports, unemployment in the developing countries, political and civil rights, and enrolment to the secondary education. Methods: Probit-tobit analysis and a generalized linear model are employed in this paper. Findings & Value added: The results suggest that egoistic economic motives (debt and Czech exports) are important factors for both country selection and aid allocation, while the number of asylum seekers affects only the aid allocation. As per the altruistic reasons, the country selection depends on the unemployment rates, political and civil rights and the enrolment to secondary education. The aid allocation depends also on the unemployment rates, political and civil rights, and the ratio of girls enrolled to the secondary education.

The Saunders v Vautier principle is one of the most fundamental principles of English trust law. Several scholars have addressed the prudence of civil law countries incorporating this principle when adopting trust-like instruments. More importantly for the Czech Republic, some remarks on this issue have been made in Québec - the jurisdiction which, to an extent, served as an inspiration for the Czech legislator when drafting the Czech trust-like instrument. Unfortunately, the debate on the topic is almost non-existent in the Czech Republic. This article discusses whether, as a result of the principle of Saunders v Vautier, the beneficiaries of the Czech trust-like instrument have similar rights to those of the beneficiaries of the English trust. It is suggested that it is not only civil law countries, but also some common law countries, that do not fully respect this principle. Therefore, there clearly exists a diversity of opinion regarding the question of whether beneficiaries should or should not have rights that prevail over the intentions of the settlor. This article focuses on supporting this principle and, in this light, puts forward a number of justifications for its incorporation.

Abstract For more than two decades the family business enterprises of the first generation (generation of founders) are more and more dominating in the category of today’s small and medium–sized enterprises in the Czech Republic. The necessary legal background defining the legal relationships and rights of all participating persons was, however, limited to general provisions in the Commercial Code that has not solved many of the problems associated thereto. Only in 2012 the new Czech Civil Code, Act. No 89/2012 Coll., introduced the institute of family enterprise as completely new term in the Czech Civil law. The presented paper aims to analyse the key rules of this new legal regulation, focusing on significant aspects of the institute in the context of commercial law and family law, as well as, to highlight the potential weaknesses and gaps existing in the regulation.

Full textAbstract:
The article aims to analyse the issue of the deadline for examining an application for security in Czech and Polish civil proceedings. The comparative law method was used in the work. The publication compares normative solutions regarding the deadline for examining an application for security in the Czech Republic and Poland. The article presents an analysis of special solutions used by the legislator in selected cases where it is necessary to schedule a hearing or accelerate the consideration of an application for security. The issue of the consequences of considering an application for security in violation of the deadline set by the legislator is raised. The research conducted allowed the following conclusions to be drawn. In both Polish and Czech civil proceedings, security proceedings are an independent part of the proceedings, separated from enforcement proceedings. In both legal systems, the deadline for examining an application for security is advisory, and exceeding it does not result in any sanctions. In Czech civil proceedings, applications for security are not examined at a hearing, while according to Polish regulations it is obligatory in some cases. In the Czech Republic, there are two types of special security measures for the immediate protection of children and against domestic violence. Polish legislation seems to be more flexible and better protects the procedural rights of the parties than the Czech Code of Civil Procedure. The presented analysis may contribute to the discussion on possible changes in the provisions of civil procedural law in Poland and the Czech Republic.

The article attempts to outline the main challenges faced by the Czech Republic in domestic and foreign policy. The author notes that the main threat within the country lies in the propensity of some part of the establishment to abuse of office. However, there are effective tools to counter these trends in the form of a developed system of democratic institutions and civil society. In foreign policy, a value-based approach has recently become widespread, which often damages the interests of the state and distorts the real picture of dangers. The author notes that the local political community is in a state of «Czech-Czech war», implying a confrontation between two groups of elites: pragmatists-technocrats and human rights defenders-liberals. These trends have become especially widespread since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, which has accelerated the development of international processes.

Full textAbstract:
Although the persons of Roma ethnicity who were deprived of the Czech citizenship upon the split of the Czech and Slovak Federation by controversial law No. 40/1993 were not in the end left stateless, the Commission can be reproached for not using the influential position it enjoyed in the course of the pre-accession process preceding the fifth enlargement of the European Union (1 May 2004) in order to insist that the Czech Republic alter its ethnically-biased citizenship policy. Although some steps in this direction were taken by the Commission, they fell short of addressing the whole range of discriminatory provisions of this Czech legislation preventing the former Czecho-Slovak citizens of Roma ethnicity from becoming citizens of the Czech Republic. In Addition to the overall ineffectiveness of its pre-accession promotion of equal access to Czech citizenship of all permanent residents of the Czech Republic their ethnic origin notwithstanding, the Commission made a controversial decision to treat the exclusion from citizenship which was de facto based on ethnicity as a ‘civil and political’ rights issue, rather than a minority rights issue. This dubious decision, allowed the Commission to distinguish its pre-accession involvement in the reforms in the Czech Republic on the one hand, and in Latvia and Estonia on the other, where the exclusion of ethnic minorities from the access to citizenship was regarded as a key issue pertaining to the protection of minority rights. The ill-articulated position of the Commission is due, this paper suggests, mainly to the limitations on the EU’s involvement in the Member States’ citizenship domain and de facto comes down to the application of different pre-accession standards to different minority groups in the candidate countries. To ensure genuine protection of ethnic minorities in the Member States-to-be, the EU has to alter its approach to the issues of ethnicity-based exclusion from citizenship in the course of the future expansions of the Union.

Full textAbstract:
This article is devoted to analysis of the pledge law regulation in the Civil Code of the Czech Republic. The Civil Code was adopted within a private law reform. The author addresses the fact of renouncing dualistic system of private law. The notion of pledge in Czech law is discussed. The article places special emphasis on the evaluation of the pledge agreement’s position in the pledge relationships together with correlation of the contract and law’s state in course of pledge agreement negotiation. Requirements to the form of contract and its content depending on a pledged assets are esteemed. The article also includes comment on the Czech law approach to the registration of the pledge titles and security interests. The articles of the newly adopted Civil Code are compared with prior legal regulation in the Czech Republic. The author focuses on characteristics of special types of pledge such as pledge of shares, securities, account of paperless securities’ owner, rights in action and special property. The procedure for levying execution is examined in the article in combination of analysis of the role of parties’ declaration of intent in a process of selection of assets disposal method. There are such methods as public sale and enforced sale. Both methods’ procedures are regulated by special laws. The article gives priority of claims in case of asset disposal which is stipulated by the Civil Code.

Secret services are responsible for the system of classified information protection in Poland. In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, civil central offices operating outside the special services system have been established to perform activities in this area. Institutions dealing with the protection of classified information in the Polish political and constitutional system are mainly supervised by the executive power — the prime minister, while in the Czech Republic and Slovakia the main control factor in the system are special parliamentary committees. The protection of the rights of persons whose data are processed as part of various types of proceedings conducted by such bodies is guaranteed in all analyzed political systems by courts. In Slovakia, it is the Supreme Court. In practice, the Czech Republic and Slovakia have abandoned the separate certification system for the structures of the Ministry of National Defense. In Poland, the separation of proceedings concerning the military sphere was maintained — they are still conducted by one of the special services, Military Counterintelligence Service.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines how contentious collective action in two post communist states, Poland and the Czech Republic, has broadened to include European and international actors. It identifies the emergence of new opportunities for contention brought about by recent episodes of institutional change, specifically EU accession, and questions how they benefit materially or politically weak NGOs. With the intention of determining how three interrelated processes, democratization, Europeanization and internationalization, affect the nature and scope of contentious politics, this dissertation carries out an investigation of several concrete episodes of political mobilization and contention. As shown these 'contentious events' involved a myriad of national, European and international actors, mobilizing to challenge national policy. Data from NGO questionnaires, interviews and newswire/newspaper archives are used to discern the nature and scope of contentious collective action. This dissertation assesses the extent to which transnationalization of advocacy politics has disrupted existing power arrangements at the national level between NGOs and government. Hypothesizing that European Union accession in 2004 changed the nature and scope of contentious collective action in post communist Europe, this dissertation undertakes a comparative empirical examination of three sectors, environment, women and Roma, and twenty-nine representative NGOs. My research identifies three important developments in the Polish and Czech nonprofit sector: first, European advocacy networks and institutions are helping national NGOs overcome power disparities at the national level; second, issues once confined to national political space have acquired a European dimension, and; third, despite Europeanization, a few notable policy issues (i.e. reproductive rights, nuclear energy and domestic violence) remain firmly under national jurisdiction. This dissertation contributes to existing collective action/post communist scholarship in three ways. It applies established theories of contention/collective action to several recent episodes of political mobilization; it confirms that post accession institutional change does offer new political opportunity structures to national NGOs, and finally; it presents new empirical research on post communist collective action.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter provides an overview of the legal framework of set-off in the Czech Republic both outside and within the context of insolvency. In the Czech Republic, set-off rights are regulated exclusively by statutory law. General regulations on set-off arrangements are laid down in Sections 1982–1991 of the Czech Civil Code. Other laws relevant to set-off are the Business Corporations Act, the Capital Markets Act, the Financial Collateral Act, and the Act on Insolvency. The chapter first examines set-off between solvent parties, taking into account general regulations, specific regulations under the Business Corporations Act, contractual set-off involving multiple parties, and special regulatory regimes governing set-off in the Czech Republic. It then considers set-off between insolvent parties before concluding with an analysis of set-off issues arising in the cross-border context.

Abstract The term ‘receivable’ is not expressly defi ned in the Czech legal system, but an implied definition can be found in the provisions of the Civil Code, especially Article 488. A receivable is generally understood to be a right to demand the fulfilment of a performance against which there is an obligation to provide this performance. The Civil Code states that receivables may arise from contracts, liability for damage, unjust enrichment and, in certain specific cases, from the law itself. The accessory rights attached to a receivable solely cover interest, default interest, other default payments, and the costs connected with its enforcement.

With the growth and development in technology, one of the most significant changes has been the commercialisation of Internet. There has been a revolution in Internet technology with the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights recognizing “Right to Internet” as a human right. There are countries like Antigua and Barbuda, Angola, Armenia, Colombia, the Czech Republic, the Dominican Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Panama, Poland, Peru, South Africa, Turkey, Trinidad and Tobago, Slovakia, and the United Kingdom, which already have legislations promoting the cause of Internet to every citizen. This chapter aims to study the implementation and utility of the right to Internet being recognized as a fundamental right and the principles behind it. It also intends to study the method of implementation of this right keeping in mind the situation prevalent in China, which restricts Internet usage. The chapter would also make suggestion with regards to the remedies available to the people in the cases of the countries not recognizing the right.

Abstract Before it collapsed in 1948, Czechoslovakian democracy had faced erosion for decades. At the dawn of the first Czechoslovak Republic in 1918, the nation was positioned for democratic success, with relatively high incomes, high education levels, low inequality, and a well-developed civil society. The democracy that took shape, however, was contorted by Czechs’ desire to dominate the political system in a multiethnic state. When democracy was reconstituted after World War II, it retained a nationalist bent, but with Communists within the National Front government. The trauma of Munich in 1938 and the war itself had turned allegiances away from the West and toward the Soviet Union. Despite receiving only 10% of the vote in 1930s elections, Communists met no resistance from the National Front. Their coalition government trampled over individual rights, rule of law, and human decency. This culminated in the coup in 1948, when Communists seized full control without firing a shot.

Junebug/Jack is a joint theatrical production of Junebug Productions of New Orleans and the Roadside Theater of Whitesburg, Kentucky, professional, community-based theaters whose mission is to speak for the historically marginalized and exploited communities in which they are located. Junebug Productions was founded in 1963 under the name Southern Free Theater as part of the cultural wing of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the influential civil rights organization. Roadside Theater was founded in 1975 as a component of Appalshop, a media production company in the Kentucky coalfields that was begun as a youth job-training program in film and a way for Appalachian people to take control of their own story. Junebug and Roadside began performing in each other’s communities in response to an increase in Ku Klux Klan activity in 1981. The companies have also partnered with grassroots theatrical groups such as Teatro Pregones from the Bronx (1993–2018) and, independently, with traditional artists from Native American communities and theater ensembles from the Czech Republic and elsewhere....

Full textAbstract:
Cohabitation is a very common way of common living these days, including the Czech Republic. Almost half of the children born alive are born outside of marriage these days. The aim of this contribution is therefore to examine whether or not the Czech law reacts to this social reality and if and how it regulates the legal position and rights and duties of the cohabitants. The primary attention is being put on the Civil Code and its regulation. As the contribution unfolds, the Civil Code is aware of the existence of cohabitation and offers two terms to describe cohabitants – the close person, and the persons living in the same household. Is such regulation and rights and duties assigned to those subjects sufficient, though? Is the regulation limited only to the Civil Code, or can we find it elsewhere? These are just some of the questions posed in the contribution. Except for the examination of the Czech regulation of cohabitation, the current European trends are taken into consideration as well.
