Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

This article retraces what is now understood the first bigpower summit in the modern sense, not being the international conference, which took place on 29. to 30. September 1938 in Munich and it also traces the reasons which led to it. At this summit the representatives of Great Britain, France, Italy and Germany agreed to persuade Czechoslovakia to give up border areas inhabited with ethnic German settlers. The second part of this paper illustrates the reasons leading to the annulment of this international agreement in terms of international and national law. From the legal point of view, the Munich agreement was an invalid legal act from the very beginning. The absolute nullity of Munich agreement is crucial for Czechoslovakia and for its successor the Czech Republic because its nullity is one of the legal bases for the existence of the current Czech Republic. Any possible casting of doubt on the nullity evokes automatically the possibility of territorial and proprietary claims by neighboring states.
