Protection of the reputation of the Polish Nation and the Republic of Poland
(Wydawnictwo Naukowe WNPiD UAM w Poznaniu, 2019) Skrzypczak, Jędrzej
A pretext for taking up this topic was the adoption in January 2018 of the new Act of the Institute of National Remembrance, which aroused huge controversy. In this way, provisions were enacted to protect the reputation of the Republic of Poland and the Polish Nation. Among them, there are regulations such art. 53o and 53p providing civil liability for violating the reputation of the Republic of Poland and the Polish Nation. This part of the bill passed almost unnoticed, unlike the criminal law in this bill. Certainly, a full analysis of this normative act requires more time. For now, we can say that – as it was presented in this paper – the adopted regulation raises a number of doubts and questions about its proper interpretation.
