The study presents the history of the rise and transformations of Neue Wache in Berlin: an ordinary guardhouse furnished with clear symbols (1818), a place of commemoration of soldiers who fell in the First World War (the period of the Weimar Republic and the Hitler regime), and a place of commemoration of the victims of 'fascism' (the GDR period), as well as a central place of commemoration of the victims of war and dictatorship in a unified German state (1933).

The article is an attempt to focus attention on the importance of the statutory penal proceeding directive to take into consideration legally protected victim's interest in the process of trial rules interpretation in the context of suspension of a penal proceeding. As a result of the performed analysis, it was recognized that based on Article 22 of the penal proceeding code it is permissible to suspend a preparatory proceeding exceptionally due to the protection of legally protected interest of the victim as a party who cannot take part in the preparatory proceeding. A model of court control of decisions to suspend an inquiry or investigation introduced by the legislator won the authors' approval. Attention was also focused on the victims' rights which they have when the proceeding is suspended, including those providing their procedural activeness as well as those of a guarantee character.

Violence against women as an extreme form of discrimination is one the most serious form of violation of the human rights of women. The aim of this paper is to show how selected documents of the UN, Council of Europe and the European Union devoted to gender based violence against women are reflected in Slovak law. Legislation often uses only gender-neutral formulations. International conventions and documents tend to use a more narrow term – gender based violence against women. The Istanbul Convention covers all areas that may have an impact on the elimination of violence against women and help its victims. The Slovak Republic was one of the first states that signed the Istanbul Convention; nevertheless this convention is still not ratified. The EU Victims’ Directive, which was transposed by just adopted new Victims’ Act in Slovakia, has several goals that can impact positively on victims of crime, including ensuring that all victims of crime have access to support services, protecting particularly vulnerable victims, and preventing ‘secondary victimisation’ of victims with respect to their treatment by the criminal justice system. Notably, the Victims’ Directive variously recognises victims of violence because of their gender, gender identity or gender expression. But in new Slovak Victims’ Act is missing gender as form of discrimination, so the victims of gender-based violence, victims of crimes because of their gender identity or expression are not included to “vulnerable victims.” Likewise, a special act concerning gender–based violence against women has not been adopted yet in Slovakia. The authors focus on the new concepts contained in the Istanbul Convention, point out to imprecise translation of concepts into Slovak language and recommend introducing of some new concepts and their definitions in the draft of Act on Elimination of Gender-Based Violence. The adoption of the “special” and “comprehensive” Act on Elimination of Gender-Based Violence based on Istanbul Convention together with the revised “general” Victims’ Act based on EU Victims’ Directive may become one of steps toward improvement of the situation in the area of gender-based violence against women.

The article focuses on the investigation of human and inhuman from the non-anthropocentric perspective. It deals with the authors who do not take humanity of human being for granted. These authors describe becoming human as a possible dimension of living experience. The analysis starts with Judith Butler’s “Giving an Account of Oneself” and her interpretation of Adorno´s considerations regarding human and inhuman in his “Minima Moralia” and “Principles of Moral Philosophy”. Butler´s conclusion is that inhuman is not the opposite of human. It is rather the constitutive means of becoming human. The article explores also the connection of Butler’s interpretation to the conception of double morality offered by Friedrich Nietzsche in his “Genealogy of Morals”. Finally, the work of Jean Améry serves to show how Butler’s and Nietzsche’s projects can become even more subtle and differentiated and uncover an unexpected affirmative political strength of the victim.
