abstract
A special place of the proceedings is occupied by the contribution by doc. JUDr. Ladislav Soukup, CSc., the topic of which is “Gypsies in the Mirror of Austrian Law Reform Before Creation of the Czechoslovak Republic”. One should not be mislead by the title, it is not a matter which stopped being topical after creation of the Czechoslovak Republic. All Austrian laws (and Hungarian laws in Slovakia and Sub-Carpathian Ukraine) remained effective, including the law dealing with Gypsy matters. The author characterizes the objective legal position of a Gypsy minority, which is approached by respective Austrian-Hungarian authorities with a priori mistrust, it could even be called approach of a “presumption of guilt”. As far as a Gypsy is concerned, any suspicion turns into certainty. It is worth noticing that Hungarian law, expressed in legislation of 1916, was more humane than Austrian law. However, the primary aim of the Hungarian law was also “protection of domestic inhabitants from nomad Gypsies and their illegal activities”. Provisions, meant as a kind of prevention, became very easily unfavorable and indistinguishable for this ethnic group. This tendency implemented namely towards nomad Gypsies did not disappear after 1918.
