Members of the Czech Centre for Human Rights and Democratization on the Czech Foreign Policy

The second symposium on Czech foreign policy was hosted by the Institute of International Relations in Prague from 3rd to 5th May 2010 in the Černínsky Palace. Large conference with wide range of topics covered was attended by four representatives of the Czech Centre for Human Rights and Democratization. Ľubomír Majerčík presented a paper on relocation of people suspected of terrorism, as conducted by the United States. He argued that this practice contravened the international law. Helena Bončková and Hubert Smekal presented next paper, which dealt with the Czech Republic and its exemption from the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The authors showed that this so-called exemption didn't really represent and exemption. Lukáš Hoder then presented a paper on atlanticism in the Czech foreign policy. All of the presented papers will be featured on the website of the Czech Centre for Human Rights and Democratization and they will also be published in a volume edited by the Institute of International Relations.
