Změnu po 130 létech (počítáno od 1794) přinesl v r. 1924 až judikát SDMS ve věci Mavrommatis Concessions. Tento soudní orgán totiž zaujal stanovisko, že poškozením cizince ve státě jeho pobytu je také poškozen stát jeho příslušnosti. Tímto činem také auto- maticky vzniká jeho “právo” uplatnit diplomatickou ochranu a rezidentnímu státu k tomu se vztahující odpovědnostní povinnost. Případný judikát je jen deklarová- ním tohoto odpovědnostního následku. Právě tohoto judikátu se dovolala Komise pro mezinárodní právo při přípravě kodifikace institutu diplomatické ochrany tedy i formulování její právní povahy. Poškození státu příslušnosti ve spojitosti s poško- zením fyzické nebo právnické osoby v cizině pak označila za pouhou fikci. Key words: International Law Commission (ILC), Draft Articles on Diplomatic Protection, legal fiction in diplomatic protection, Draft Articles on Responsibility of States for internationally wrongful acts, codifying international convention. On the Author: Born in 1927. He is a retired professor of international law. Till 1993 he was a member of the Department of International Law at the Faculty of Law, Charles University in Prague.

Introduction In 2006 the Draft Articles on Diplomatic Protection were adopted by the International Law Commission (ILC) and it was decided to recommend to the General Assembly (GA) the preparation of a convention on the basis of this draft. The General Assembly (by A/RES/61/35) took note of the Draft Articles on Diplomatic Protection presented by the Commission and invited Governments to submit comments concerning this recommendation (Report of the Sixth Committee, A/61/454). In 2007 the GA decided (A/RES/62/67) to include in the provisional agenda of its sixty-fifth session (2010) further examination, in light of the written comments of Governments, of the question of a convention on diplomatic protection, or any other appropriate action, on the basis of the above-mentioned articles. This GA session actually provided a detailed discussion and analysis of the historically predominant topic of State responsibility, on which the ILC completed its work in 2001, and (according to the Commission´s view) diplomatic protection is a specific sub-topic of this theme of State responsibility. In 2010 the GA postponed (A/RES/65/27) the examination of the question of a convention on diplomatic protection, or any other appropriate action, based on the above-mentioned articles. The next term for this examination was fixed on the agenda of the 68th GA session in 2013.
