Cíle předmětu
Freedom of movement is one of milestones of refugee law but in this context it is manifested as the harsh deformation. Since the movement should be a reflection of the free decision and not an enforced act of an individual who flees involuntarily beyond the borders of his country of origin. The reasons for the enforced departure can be seen in the persecution as the absence of de iure or de facto protection of the state and the existence of serious human rights violations as well as the war and disasters. International and domestic law offer different forms of protection: asylum and temporary protection. The asylum as an authoritative act of the state can be of territorial, diplomatic or political forms while the temporary protection is limited in time and structure (residence, health care, shelter and boarding, or work permit) because it enables minimum existence in the territory of the receiving state. The asylum provides security against refoulement, deportation, it provides the protection against the personal jurisdiction of the country of origin but also the right to permanent residence with other benefits. The asylum in the sense of the human right, as regulated in 1969 American Convention on Human Rights, limits the discretion of the state and imposes an obligation of providing international protection if the conditions for the rule are met. The course can mediate the multicultural world in its richness but also show the problems of integrating and assimilating recognised asylum-seekers. Moreover, it reveals different interpretation of the key provisions under the 1951 Geneva Convention and the 1967 New York Protocol relating to the Status of Refugees with the aim of provoking critical legal reasoning and the ability to find adequate interpretation.
