Summary/Abstract: The constitutions of the two successor states of Czechoslovakia, adopted in 1992 in the field of the relationship between national law and international law, continued the previous constitutional tradition, which was based on legal dualism. Thus, the two areas of law existed independently of each other, and from the point of view of national law, international law did not seem to exist. National authorities were not directly bound by the rules of international law, except where national law expressly recognized the binding nature and allowed the application of an international treaty by way of transformation into national law.
