	1995 Human Rights Report: CZECH REPUBLIC (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Czech journalists criticize the draft law for not affirming the right of a journalist not to reveal sources and for not requiring government officials to supply information to the media.
		Czechs who emigrated during the period of Communist rule frequently return to visit, or even to settle, and are able to regain Czech citizenship if they wish, though to do so they must relinquish claim to any foreign citizenship.
		The political culture of the Czech Republic generally defines Roma as outsiders, and the Roma themselves have been unable to unite behind a program or set of ideals that would allow them to represent their interests in the democratic structures of the country (see Section 5).

		Civil servants had an obligation to use the Arabic language in the discharge of their functions and were called to order if they did not comply with that directive.
		UHL (Czech Republic) said that the function of the Government's Representative for Human Rights, which he was exercising, had been created in September 1998 by the new Government in order to fulfil its obligation to submit reports to the bodies established under the terms of international instruments to which the Czech Republic was a party.
		Faced with that type of situation, the Czech State should have reacted and immediately revoked the decision of the municipality of Usti nad Labem, since the fact that the Government had not wished to humiliate the municipality implied that the decision by the town could still be enforced as it had not been revoked.

	Bart VanHercke, Czech unions look West
		Most Czech trade unions are in favour of their country joining the European Union, but have a lot of questions to ask about its socio-economic impact.
		In spite of these problems, the Czech Republic will be among the first group of countries starting negotiations for accession to the European Union, since it is considered to meet most of the Copenhagen Criteria [See Flash 2000/1:4].
		By 1994, trade unions became increasingly disenchanted with the neo-liberal policies of the Klaus government and that same year they refused to sign the general agreement; the more campaigning role cumulated in the national demonstrations in the capital in 1994 and 1995.

	Donna M. Hughes on Prostitution & Czech Republic on National Review Online
		The Czech police estimate that there are 15,000 women and children in prostitution in the Czech Republic.
		The legalization of prostitution in the Czech Republic is particularly dangerous because of its central geographical location between Eastern and Western Europe and its membership in the European Union.
		The Czech Republic is already a transit country for the trafficking of victims from Eastern to Western Europe.

	Non-Discrimination in Civil Marriage: Perspectives from International Human Rights Law and Practice (A Human Rights ...
		The same reasoning applies to civil marriage: excluding gay and lesbian people from the status of civil marriage is a form of discrimination based on sexual orientation.
		Civil laws on marriage can be amended to end discrimination based on sexual orientation without violating the right of religions to retain their own laws and practices.
		Even if the rights promised by civil unions on paper correspond exactly to those entailed in civil marriage, the insistence on a distinct nomenclature means that the stigma of second-class status will still cling to those relationships.

		The Czech Republic is one of the few countries in the region that requires the government to give reasons for not using public comment.

	Same-sex unions: Is the Czech Republic ready for gay marriage? - 04-10-2004 - Radio Prague (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		When it comes to sexual attitudes, the Czech Republic is probably one of the most liberal of the former Communist nations.
		Although the Czech parliament has regularly voted down legislation on same-sex civil unions or "registered partnerships" in the past, this may be about to change.
		He says that the idea of a same-sex couple concluding an agreement or contract ensuring all the rights and obligations of a registered partnership would be too impractical, as they would have to think of every possible eventuality that might beset their relationship.

	Country Information: Czech Republic
		As of May 1, 2004, when the Czech Republic entered the European Union and the Act on Value Added Tax took effect, NGOs are no longer generally exempt from output VAT on supplies provided to others in pursuit of statutory activities.

		According to leading Czech experts, due to the supremacy of constitutional laws over all other legislation, these provisions preclude a private school or other educational institution, as well as any other subject of the law, from discriminating based on race or ethnicity.

		In the Czech Republic there are several organizations which are monitoring the state and development of the whole country from the viewpoint of sustainability.

	Central Europe Review - Progress Reports 2000: Czech Republic
		In fact, as is often the case in the Czech Republic, ironies abound: on the day of the Report's release, the government voted to prolong the mining of uranium two years past the previously agreed-upon deadline, in effect reneging on an agreement made with the European Union to phase out such mining in 2001.
		The Czech gift for innovation was underlined by businessmen-"tunnelers" (the latest quirky Czech contribution to the world's vocabulary, after "defenestration" and "robot"), who cannily exploited vague legislation and lax controls to hollow out firms from the inside out.
		The general reaction to the 2000 Progress Report by the Czech political establishment (a reaction clearly fueled by imminent elections to the Senate and new regional assemblies) was one of fury at the slight made to Czech national pride rather than any deeper reflection.

		But after this interval, there was a change: The first union struggles occurred; students fought back against the introduction of fees for education at universities; there was more and more support among people for environmentalist campaigns; in general the discontent of the working population was growing.
		Other living unions in the CMCTU which are getting more and more able and ready to fight back, are the miners, steelworkers and teachers' unions.
		That kind of union can come into existence only through our active participation in present day unions and through a rank and file movement in these unions for control over their organisations and fights.

		From one side of the problem, the Constitution of the Czech Republic guarantees the right to associate, to form transient or permanent associations of individual citizens among themselves and with legal entities.
		Unfortunately, such thing happened, and there is not much use of the civil code in fighting against such a criminal approach to the responsibility of a legal entity.
		Nevertheless, the Czechs may only gain from opening a discussion about the new situation within their own community, as well as with Poles, Slovaks, Hungarians, Germans and other regional neighbors, which may help to everybody to assess, what actually took place in the Czech Parliament and what might be the consequences and the ways out.
