The Great War was a milestone not just in world history, but also in terms of constitutional relations between London and autonomous parts of the British Empire. Dominions, which were considered ‘sister’ nations of the Imperial Commonwealth endeavoured to acquire international recognition as a result of their war efforts. Participation of the dominions at discussions in Paris, membership of the new international organisation, the League of Nations, involvement in the administration of mandated territories and co-signature of the Treaty of Versailles gave rise to euphoria amongst the overseas representatives who saw it as the recognition of their formal independence and new international status that they desired. The war years and the course of the Paris Peace Conference confirmed that the dominions could no longer be regarded as ordinary ‘colonies’ or dependent territories. The First World War and post-war developments generally boosted the trend for dominions to set out on the road to a wider concept

The contribution is focused on the analysis of the British-Canadian relations in connexion with the Conclusion of the American-Canadian Halibut Treaty of 1923 with special regard to the constitutional relations between the mother country and its Dominions, which along with foreign and economic policy formed one of the most significant and interesting chapters in British imperial history in the 1920s. AÝer the First World War, some overseas representatives maintained a position that the Dominions were now equal countries with Britain and, on top of that, that they were no longer in a subsidiary position and were united by common obligations towards the Crown and their membership in the British Empire. Àe circumstances and discussions that accompanied the negotiation and conclusion of the Halibut Treaty between the United States of America and the Dominion of Canada all were reflected to a large extent in a clearer definition of the constitutional status of the Dominions and the problems of negotiation, conclusion and ratification of international treaties.

Příspěvek je založen na analýze britsko-kanadských vztahů v souvislosti s uzavřením americko-kanadské Platýzové smlouvy z roku 1923 se zvláštním zřetelem ke konstitucionálním vztahům mezi mateřskou zemí a dominii, jež tvořily vedle imperiální zahraniční a hospodářské politiky jednu z nejvýznamnějších a nejzajímavějších kapitol britských imperiálních dějin ve dvacátých letech 20. století. Po skončení první světové války zastávali někteří zámořští představitelé názor, že dominia jsou rovnoprávné země s Británií, že se již nenachází v subsidiárním postavení a že je pojí společné závazky vůči Koruně a členství v britském impériu. Okolnosti a diskuse, které doprovázely vyjednávání a uzavření tzv. Platýzové smlouvy mezi Spojenými státy americkými a dominiem Kanada se nemalou měrou odrazily v potřebě jasněji vymezit konstitucionální postavení dominií a problematiku sjednávání, signování a ratifikování mezinárodních smluv.
