Role mateřských států v systému meziválečné ochrany národnostních menšin
The Role of Kin States in the System of Interwar Protection of National Minorities

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the system of the League of Nations for the protection of national minorities. We present the material basis of protection which can be found in various minority treaties, minority declarations and peace treaties concluded after the First World War. Particular emphasis is placed on the functioning of the relevant control mechanisms, particularly from the point of view of kin states that support the interests of kin minorities abroad. The analysis shows that the system of the League of Nations for the protection of national minorities was a very interesting experiment which introduced new elements and a new dimension into public international law.
