Univerzita Karlova, Fakulta sociálních věd, Institut Politologie. Katedra Politologie. Vedoucí bakalářské práce doc. PhDr. Michel Perottino, PhD. Rozsah práce: 142 931 znaků (včetně mezer) Anotace Tato bakalářská práce se věnuje komparativní analýze dvou částí strany Sinn Féin, která jako jediná relevantní strana působí jak v Irsku, tak v Severním Irsku. Obě části strany získaly v posledních volbách do parlamentů působících na Britských ostrovech nevídanou podporu a zasedají tak v irském, severoirském i britském parlamentu. Strana se jednotně prezentuje jako republikánská nacionalistická levicová strana, která usiluje o sjednocení Irska v jeden stát, a to již od svého prvopočátku na začátku 20. století. Práce se tak bude zabývat podobnostmi a odlišnostmi ve fungování strany v obou částech ostrova. Zohledněn bude vývoj strany jako takový, struktura stranické organizace, financování a programy pro volby v letech 2017 (Severoirské shromáždění), 2019 (Dolní sněmovna Spojeného království) a 2020 (Dáil Éireann). -

Letter to the Negotiating Table
13th May 2014, Washington, London, Dublin and Belfast NEGOTIATING COMMITTEES, HAVANA Humberto de la Calle and other members of the Negotiating Committee of the Government of Colombia Iván Márquez and other members of the Negotiating Committee of the FARC-EP Dear Members of the Negotiating Table, We, the undersigned elected representatives, write to express our support for the Colombian peace process currently taking place in Havana, Cuba. We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate both the Colombian Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia for having entered into negotiations and initiating a process that we hope reaches a successful conclusion of peace with social justice leading to the end of Colombia’s almost 50 year armed conflict. We congratulate both sides on the historic agreements made so far and recognise the commitment of both sides to staying at the negotiating table and encourage you to stay there until a final agreement has been made. It is our firm belief that the only route to bring an effective and long-lasting peace to Colombia is through dialogue and compromise and we urge both parties to continue in this momentous endeavour regardless of the future difficulties that may arise. We encourage you to consider the possibility of a ceasefire and to take the necessary measures to minimise the humanitarian cost of the conflict and guarantee the safety of civil society. We applaud the efforts made to include the views of civil society and we hope that this participation will be deepened and extended as the process continues. As politicians, some of whom have been involved in other peace processes, we are firmly committed to supporting the peace talks. -

1 To: His Excellency Hojjatoleslam Sayed Mohammad Khatami, President of Iran BOBBY SANDS STREET, Tehran, Iran. THE name Bobby Sands is known throughout the world, symbolising the heroism of an Irish prisoner and his comrades who died on hunger strike in their unequal fight against their British jailors. Over the course of the past two years British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has been lobbying Iran’s Foreign Minister to change the name of Bobby Sands Street, where the British Embassy is situated, in the capital Tehran. (It was formerly known as Winston Churchill Street.) Bobby Sands was an Irish patriot and martyr, who died on 5 May 1981, after 66 days on hunger strike. Whilst in prison he was elected as a Member of Parliament [MP]. One hundred thousand people attended his funeral, including the Iranian ambassador to Sweden. The British government has no right to be in Ireland, just as it has no right to be interfering in the affairs of any other nation. We appeal to the Iranian government and its people not to bow to requests from the British government to rename Bobby Sands Street. Sincerely, Danny Morrison Michele Neylon [email protected] Kathleen Collins [email protected]. In the Name of Allah the Compassionate and the Merciful....please leave the street named for Bobby Sands Sinn Fein elected representatives: Gerry Adams MP Pat Doherty Martin McGuinness Mitchell McLaughlin Bairbre de Brun Mary Lou McDonald Martin P Meehan Martin McManus Mrs Cathy Rafferty Paul Corrigan Pat Ó Rawe Patrick MacNamee Philip Mc Guigan Paul -
2Declaration European Call for Democracy In
1 DECLARATION: European Call for Democracy in Catalonia 20th of December 2017 We, members of Parliaments in European countries, express our deepest concern regarding the current situation in Catalonia. In light of the dismissal of the democratically elected Catalan government and the later imprisonment of ministers and leaders of civil society organizations, we call on the Spanish government to cease in this excessive use of force. Furthermore, we call on the Spanish government and on the international society to ensure the upcoming election for the regional Parliament in Catalonia be held in a democratic manner free from undue interference from the Spanish government. We express our wish that the imprisoned minister and leaders of civil society organizations be released and we urge the Spanish government to avoid further use of force and engage in political dialogue with the regional government elected by the Catalans.
