Odsun Němců z Československa po druhé světové válce

The thesis focuses on the analysis of a transfer as an instrument of solving the problematics of national minorities in international relations on the example of the transfer of Germans from Czechoslovakia after the second world war. Its goal is to answer the research question whether the transfer of a minority from the territory of a different state was a correct solution of the situation in post-war society. The question is examined through description and analysis of the historical event of German transfer from Czechoslovakia in subsequent chapters in its historical, legal and moral context on both international and national level. The hypothesis is that with regards to its context transfer was the only possible and correct solution of the problematics of German minority in Czechoslovakia. The analysis shows that the transfer of Germans was historically conditioned solution reacting to the problematics of German minority in Czechoslovakia. Deeply rooted complex coexistence combined with the terrors of the second world war resulted in a situation to which the transfer provided a solution that was necessary, feasible, planned and internationally approved. From a moral point of view, however, the victims of transfer cannot be forgotten. In summary, transfer as an instrument in international relations has its historical place. Nonetheless, it should not be used again in the future and society should avoid applying the principle of collective guilt.
