Protecting children's rights in the Czech Republic

This thesis was initially concerning protecting children's rights. Due to wide variety of this topic, it was neccesary to focuss the thesis more specificly. I decided to explore the field of work with childen from desintegrating families, where there is also a difficult parental conflict. Content is divided into two integrated parts. In the first one, there was build the theoretical bases using variety of sources and authors in three different chapters. First chapter concerned desintegrating of families, its psychological, legal and sociologic contexts and effects. Second chapter reflected the history of defending rights of children and there were also analysed both czech and international documents on protection of children's rights. I also analysed the term "best child's interest" and its impact on practising the law. In the third chapter I described different approaches in work with desintegrating families, including nameless current approach practised in the Czech Republic, the Cohem praxis and others, less known approaches. In the second part, the practical segment of my work was presented. The project of research included interviews with seven professionals. Judges, family councelors and social workes have taken part in the research of changes, which would be beneficial for nowaday's approach..
