Description
Summary:The present article discusses certain aspects of the Treaty between the Czech Republic and the Holy See. The text of the treaty was signed at the level of the government, however, it has not been ratified so far. Some provisions of the treaty are rather superfluous or lack sufficient normative basis. Nevertheless, as the example of Article 9 of the treaty on the recognition of civil effects of church marriages shows that the approval of the treaty by the Parliament of the Czech Republic would have been very beneficial. In fact, in the process of preparation for a new civil code an attempt was made to repeal church marriages recognized by the state. Such a project would have been made impossible by the concordat because church marriage would have been supported by an obligation of the state under international law. Fortunately, the civil code kept church marriages, and confessional law in the Czech Republic has to develop without a valid concordat.
L’article aborde certains aspects du traité entre la République tchèque et le Saint-Siège. Le texte du traité a été signé au niveau gouvernemental mais il n’a pas encore été ratifié. Certaines dispositions du traité sont plutôt superflues ou n’ont pas de base normative suffisante. Néanmoins, comme le montre l’exemple de l’article 9 du traité sur la reconnaissance des effets civils des mariages religieux, l’approbation du traité par le Parlement de la République tchèque aurait été très bénéfique. En fait, lors de la préparation d’un nouveau code civil, on a tenté d’abroger les mariages religieux reconnus par l’État. Un tel projet aurait été rendu impossible par le concordat parce que le mariage religieux aurait été préservé par un engagement de l’État en vertu du droit international. Heureusement, le code civil a maintenu la validité des mariages religieux mais le droit confessionnel de la République tchèque a dû être élaboré sans concordat valide.
L’articolo discute alcuni aspetti del Trattato tra la Repubblica Ceca e la Santa Sede. Il testo del trattato è stato firmato a livello di governo, ma finora non è stato ratificato. Alcune disposizioni del trattato sono piuttosto superflue o mancano di una base normativa sufficiente. Tuttavia, come mostra l’esempio dell’articolo 9 del trattato sul riconoscimento degli effetti civili dei matrimoni religiosi, l’approvazione del trattato da parte del Parlamento della Repubblica Ceca sarebbe stata molto vantaggiosa. Infatti, nel processo di preparazione di un nuovo codice civile si è tentato di abolire i matrimoni religiosi riconosciuti dallo Stato. Tale progetto sarebbe stato reso impossibile dal concordato in quanto il matrimonio religioso sarebbe stato sostenuto dall’obbligo dello Stato ai sensi del diritto internazionale. Fortunatamente, il codice civile ha mantenuto i matrimoni religiosi e il diritto confessionale nella Repubblica Ceca è stato sviluppato senza un concordato valido.
