            Pavla Vavrečková

            I am a law student at Charles University in Prague. Since the beginning of my studies, I h

            interested in state security and humanitarian law. I got to explore my interest further du
            year at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem where I focused mainly on Terrorism & Antiterro
            I am finishing up my law degree and I am writing my thesis on the principle of distinction

            Law with a focus on Israel and its military actions against terrorist groups.

            1) How do you plan to spend your time in Israel?

            I plan to take advantage of a research fellowship program offered by the Rothberg Internat
            the Hebrew University of Jerusalem). This program allows international students to do rese

            2) How is your stay in Israel going to contribute to your academic research?
            I am writing my thesis on a relatively specific topic concerning Israel and its military p

            Therefore, I hope to get guidance from an Israeli professor who is a specialist in this pa
            I hope my stay in Israel will significantly elevate the level of my thesis and allow me to
            graduate at the university here, in the Czech Republic.


            3) Will this be your first time visiting Israel?
            I was fortunate enough to already spend some time in Israel. I did an exchange year at the

            at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Furthermore, I have interned for three months at an
            specializing in advocating for Israel in the field of international law.


            4) Did you watch Fauda? Did you like the series?
            I have seen the first season and I have really enjoyed it. However, I prefer to watch a se
            evening to unwind after the whole day. Being such an action movie, watching Fauda is defin

            best way how to relax at the end of my day. ?
