Annotation
Annotation:
Foreign elements do regularly appear in the relations of administrative law – thus, the administrative authorities must cope with foreign driving licences, university diplomas issued by foreign universities, passports issued by other States, foreign vaccination certificates etc. A special branch of law has emerged to deal with the issues, which has been labelled as “international administrative law” (droit administratif international, diritto amministrativo internazionale, Internationales Verwaltungsrecht). This course will deal with both theoretical topics and with the issues of practical application of the provisions of international administrative law (in particular with respect to the recognition of foreign administrative acts). The course is opened for both Czech and Erasmus students.
