The Beneš Decrees and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights

by Professor Steve Peers
Since the Charter contains a ‘right to property’, it cannot seriously be argued that it ‘will not affect property rights’ in any Member State. It would make more sense to confirm that it does not affect property disputes which date before a Member State joined the EU (which it clearly does not). That would cover both the Czech and Slovak situations, and a lot more besides.
