abstract
This paper deals with the Czech Republicʼs commitments connected with the requirement to establish the criminal liability of legal persons, arising from international agreements and legislation of European Union. The author analyzes various international and European documents, and also evaluates the fulfillment of its obligations under these documents before and after the moment, when the Czech Republic adopted the law on criminal liability of legal persons and proceedings against them. Finally, chapter gives the summary of international documents and legal acts of the European Union, in which the requirement to establish the criminal liability of legal persons for signatory states or Member States is enshrined. The paper also reflects recent changes in Czech counter terrorism legislation and its concordance with the international obligations of the Czech Republic.
