“…Indeed, it seems to follow the broader approach across the EU, where public contracts are not open to borderless mandatory inclusion of social aspects or protection of human rights, but remain merely factors to be considered and counterbalanced with the more general principles of public procurement, such as transparency. 65 In contrast, the criteria for applications in 2016 stipulated that once municipality secures ERDF funding, it is required to oblige the contractor in the awarded contract to employ at least one unemployed person from marginalized Roma communities, with accent especially on long-term unemployment. 66 The project therefore takes an expansionist position towards social aspets, seeking to push municipalities towards their implementation in public procurement even when they are not required to do so by legislation.…”

Summary The paper aims firstly to assess the deficiencies in access to drinking water that are present in Slovakia. Recently, the country was condemned for various violations in ensuring access to drinking water for all, whether by third parties, but also national institutions and international organizations. Drawing upon the identified failures and violations, the actions undertaken to remedy the situation are analysed, especially in order to establish whether Slovakia dispenses with its obligations under the human right to water and addresses the identified problems satisfactorily. Finally, the process of public procurement in providing drinking water is considered, having regard to its role in promptness and efficiency of addressing the unsatisfactory situation which makes Slovakia open to severe criticism from international human rights bodies.

A director may slip into the fulfilment of their own (opportunistic) interests due to the separation of management and ownership in companies and the fact that the director does not bear the risk of the possible failure of the company. Because there is a tension between the company (and its shareholders) and the director due to differences in their interests and information asymmetry, their relationship is based on trust, which is the core essence of a relationship between these entities (fiduciary relationship). The study focuses on the principal aspects of how Slovak company law deals with the tension between the interests of the company, its shareholders, and directors, especially from the point of view of compliance with the duty of care.

For several decades, transnational (multinational) corporations have been considered significant actors in international relations. It is also an undeniable fact that transnational corporations are economically stronger than many states. They are also increasingly present in situations of armed conflict. On one hand, companies operating in unstable environments are exposed to the violence and consequences of armed conflicts. On the other hand, some of their actions during armed conflicts may lead to violations, particularly of international human rights law. In this paper, however, the authors would like to focus more on the status of the protection of transnational corporations under international humanitarian law. It is possible to put forward the thesis that transnational corporations, having met certain requirements, can enjoy protection under international humanitarian law. Verification of this research thesis requires analysis of issues such as the relationship between international human rights law and international humanitarian law. It also requires the analysis of the legal basis on which the rights of transnational corporations may be founded and their scope.
