A purpose of this article is to offer a brief overview of basic institutional characteristics of third sector in Slovakia. Firstly the author focuses on the features of a legal entity. Secondly she deals with specific types of legal entities in the field of public research. Finally the author analyses the draft of new Act on Public Research Institution, which is currently in the process of approval in National Council of Slovak republic. The draft of law regulates a new type of legal entity in Slovakia – Public Research Institution, which is a public entity, whose basic activity is research, including provision of a research infrastructure. Public Research Institution may be established by central body of the state administration or the Slovak Academy of Sciences and is registered in the public Register of public research institutions kept by the Ministry of Education, Science, Research and Sport of Slovak republic. The Act on Public Research Institution will allow the transformation of the state budgetary and contributory research institutions and the Slovak Academy of Sciences institutes to public research institutions, and allow their funding to be adjusted. The Act primarily brings more freedom and greater responsibility as well as economic flexibility. Efficiency of the Act is proposed for 1st January 2018 and the date for Slovak Academy of Sciences institutes transformation for 1st July 2018.

Violence against women as an extreme form of discrimination is one the most serious form of violation of the human rights of women. The CEDAW Committee may consider individual communications alleging violations of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women by States parties to the Optional Protocol. The paper focuses on three selected examples of individual complaints. One of them is the first merit decision of the Committee on the basis of the Optional Protocol. The second is the case in which a State party has for the first time recognized the binding nature of the decisions and recommendations of the Committee. The last one is the first Committee decision concerning Slovakia.

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.
