Acta Universitatis Carolinae Iuridica (AUC Iuridica) is a legal journal published since 1955, which presents longer essays as well as short articles on topics relevant for legal theory and international, European and Czech law. It also publishes works concerning current legislative problems.

Although intended primarily for domestic audience, AUC Iuridica is useful also for foreign experts, who can take advantage of summaries in foreign languages (English, German and French) and key words, which are systematically added to the main articles and essays.

The published articles are subject to peer reviews. If necessary, reviewed texts are sent back to the author for revision.

AUC Iuridica accepts contributions from any contributor on any current legal topic.

The journal is registered in the Czech National Bibliography (kept by the National Library of the Czech Republic) and in the Index to Foreign Legal Periodicals (kept by the American Association of Law Libraries).

The journal is archived in Portico.

Postavení „mateřské země“ a příbuzné menšiny z hlediska mezinárodní ochrany lidských práv

[The Status of the Kin-state and Its Related Minority in Terms of International Human Rights Protection]

abstract

In this article we examine how the terms “mother country” (“kin-state”) and “related minority” (“kin-minority”) can be understood and applied from the perspective of international human rights law. We further explain to which extent human rights norms, especially the prohibition of discrimination, may restrict the radius of action of a kin-state on the international level. We find that factual ties between a mother country and its kin-minority abroad shall not be discredited and labeled as suspicious and prohibited. International human rights protection should rather offer tools how to reconcile diverging interests of states and minorities.
