Summary/Abstract: Bohuslav Ečer was a notable figure at the Brno Faculty of Law, known for his significant contributions to international criminal law and the prosecution of war crimes. Born in Hranice in 1893, he became actively involved in public life and politics, joining the social democracy and later the communist party. His anti-Nazi stance led to his emigration to France during WWII, where he continued his legal studies and later contributed to the prosecution of war criminals at the Nuremberg Trials. Ečer began his academic career at Masaryk University in 1946, focusing on international criminal law, but his career was cut short in 1950 due to political reasons. He passed away in 1954, just before his planned arrest by the StB.
