Legal Protection of State, National and Community Symbols in the Czech Republic

Original language description

It is characteristic for every community that is organized to identify itself in some way, both externally and internally. Its members share common goals, values, and attitudes, and they respect and protect them. It is the symbols that serve as one of the important means which embodies the existence of a particular community externally (in relation to other entities) and at the same time the affiliation of its member to this group. Symbols also reflect a certain solidarity of the members of the community and their internal and emotional ties to it. The symbols express the history and traditions, values, and ideas of the community. All this applies re- gardless of whether such a community is a state or another important community in its territory, especially a territorial self-governing unit (a municipality or a region), a national minority, or a religious community. In these communities, in particular, symbols play an important role and perform several functions. Therefore, these symbols are subject to the relevant national legislation. As a rule, its content is the definition of these symbols, the basic rules for their use, and the means of their legal protection. From the point of view of various forms of protection, four basic levels can be distinguished: constitutional protection, administrative protection, criminal protection, and protection under private law (especially copyright). The Chapter focuses on the analysis of the state, national and community symbols in the Czech Republic, especially from the point of view of their legal protection.
