International protection proceedings Abstract The content of this diploma thesis is a discussion of the procedural side of international protection. In order to understand this topic, it is first necessary to realize where relevant sources can be found. The sources of international law in the form of soft law will help us to understand the general principles of the area. The legal regulation valid in the Czech Republic can be found at the level of European Union legislation and at the level of national regulations of the Czech Republic. It is also appropriate to define some basic concepts. The definition of the concept of international protection proceedings with the help of the concept of a decision on international protection is absolutely essential for this work. This umbrella concept has undergone its own development in the past. The definition of the boundaries of the concept of international protection proceedings is also carried out in this work by means of the so-called other proceedings from the Asylum Act.

The thesis aims to monitor and evaluate a common phenomenon of the administrative practice, the failure to meet deadlines, altogether with extension of the deadline in the application proceedings due to the exceptional circumstances, which has become the standard procedure rather than an exception. My goal is also to raise a question whether the fundamental rights of the applicants for the international protection (who are considered to be vulnerable individuals in a difficult life situation), guaranteed by the Charter and...
