2 Legal considerations on the Imperial Protectorate of Bohemia - Moravia The political significance of an interpretation of the concept of the Protectorate The inclusion of the Bohemian-Moravian core area of the former Czecho-Slovakia into the empire was carried out by the establishment of a "Protectorate of Böhmen and Moravia", whose position was in detail by the decree of the leader of the 16th century. It is important first of all to make it clear that the concept of protectorate comes from the field of international law. By emancipating from the individual specific cases of protectorate, ethnological science has elucidated a kind of general concept of the protectorate as an institution of international law. By highlighting the common features of the various protectorates, it tried to create a sort of general type of protectorates. One should only be allowed to speak of a protectorate if a concrete regulation of this type was fundamentally adapted. Aueh, who has concerns against such a procedure, must acknowledge that it has prevailed in science and practice-wide. This means, therefore, that there is a concept of protectorate defined in terms of substance and substance, with which the lawyer operates in general and international law in particular, and which is also presented in the manuals and lexicons. It must now be expected that the Czech jurists in particular will be guided by this "dominant" concept of protectorate and will try to use it tactically. Twelve types of proceedings are mainly available to them.
