Learning outcomes
The subject 'Fundamental Rights II' extends the subject 'Fundamental Rights I' and it deals with the detailed analysis of particular fundamental rights from the viewpoint of their concepts in the judicial decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic and from the viewpoint of the comparative perspective. Each of the discussed rights will be analyzed from how they are safeguarded in the international and European community and domestic constitutional safeguards. The subject innovation has been supported by the project Support of Interdisciplinary studies and Study Programmes Innovations at Palacký University in Olomouc, CZ.1.07/2.2.00/28.0091.
Students who have completed this subject will gain an overview of the basic 'case law' made by both - the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic as well as the international courts (especially the European Court of Human Rights) concerning the specific human rights and freedoms.
