Anotace

It would be hard or even impossible to prove that it was the communist past of judges that affected the implementation of transitional justice in the sphere of criminal law in the two countries. WE can assume that the unwillingness of judges and prosecutors (investigators leaving aside) to adopt the view, so common for example in German law, of communist crimes as criminal acts of systematic injustice (Systemunrecht), the denial of these criminal acts and the failure to apply available legal reasoning –whether in the form of findings of the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic or international legislation – is rooted in the lack of competence, or even in a conscious refusal to break the value continuity with the communist law, which manifests itself in the interpretation and application of communist legislation, with no regard to the values on which the constitutions of both succession states are based.
