Constitutional protection of national symbols 

More about the research objective

The research team will examine the legal history and constitutional regulation of state, national and community symbols. Within this context, it deals with the protection of state symbols (anthem, flag, coat of arms and other symbols) at the level of criminal, civil and administrative law, and focuses on the protection of national symbols and broader elements of identity that are important for national identity.
The legal protection of symbols of communities with the same identity is examined from the constitutional, criminal, administrative and civil law perspectives, taking into account both legislation and administrative and judicial practice.
