English Translation
-50- we have to go back to the consular jurisdiction/capitulations/ in Lynders, where the kulturel le Miveau of the "evölkerung" does not allow to build laws and legal systems according to the cultural and moral standard of the civilized European pations. As we have already said, the organization and system of predictability in Czechoslovakia had a European niv au and more than one of its institutions became by. On the other hand, the international world knows how the lege system in Germany has descended since the seizure of power by National Socialism, and this natlonal socialist legal system, which eradicates the most elementary concepts of truth, as Europe has known since Roman times, has been introduced in the Protectorate as the legal order of the Lord's Nation, while the Czech U_tertenes have been deprived of any guarantee of legal order.Article XII of Hitler's Charter expressly states that the law currently in force in Bohemia and Moravia remains in force, so that it does not contradict the sense of the protection of the Protektorate by Daa. When the Czech people heard of the decision of the leader to exclude the citizens of the Reich from the jurisdiction of the Pro-Satektorat courts, they hoped that at least these courts would be allowed to retain the former legal system.These hopes would soon be disillusioned.The establishment of a special jurisdiction for the Germans living in the Protectorate was only the first step towards the complete and systematic division of the Czech legal organization.
