Fundamental legal problems of surrogate motherhood. Global perspective.
The observation that mater semper certa est remains accurate under most legal systems in the world. Maternity is defined as the personal status (filiation) of a woman who gave birth to a child. It is typically complemented by the fatherhood of the man from whom the child biologically originates (often quem nuptiae demonstrant). However, in some states, a kind of competitive way of acquiring the legal status of mother and father (or “homosexual parents A and B”) has been introduced via concluding a contract with a surrogate mother. Usually with a woman coming from poorer societies and with the assistance of professional intermediaries and organizers. The postulates to change substantive f...
Freedom of Conscience A Comparative Law Perspective
Freedom of Conscience. A Comparative Law Perspective addresses the timeliest of topics. Across the European continent as well as in the Anglophone world (including the United States), “freedom of conscience” is at the forefront of issues addressed by judges and legislators. It is also a perennial matter of great importance. Public authorities throughout the ages have struggled to understand, and properly to meld, the necessities of political order and the freedom of competent adults to author their own actions and to constitute themselves by making, and acting upon, their conscientious decisions about what moral truth requires of them.

The Katyn Massacre 1940
In the spring of 1940, Stalin‘s NKVD executed 22,000 Polish officers, ensigns and state officials near the Russian village of Katyn and other places. When Wehrmacht soldiers discovered some of the graves three years later, the Soviets succeeded in convincing US President Roosevelt of the German perpetration.

Using thousands of recently released US documents, this book refutes the popular thesis that the Western Allies deliberately lied about the Katyn case in order not to endanger the alliance with Stalin. As well as consulting Polish and Russian documentation on this war crim...
Public Policy and Public Morality
The book deals with two very important but imprecise terms in contemporary law, namely public policy and public morality. It is commendable that such a comprehensive work about general clauses has been prepared. They are the elements of the common good which refers directly to Article 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. The aim of these clauses is to protect the integrity of Polish legal order and the reason why they are applied boils down to the public interest. The clauses refer to the extralegal criteria of a moral, economic or political nature. That is why, for a legal practice, it appears vital that experts contribute to the clarification of their content and meaning as a l...

Polacy na Kowieńszczyźnie – dawniej i obecnie
Dzieje ludności polskiej na Litwie Kowieńskiej nie są bliżej znane szerszemu kręgowi czytelników. Ukazanie działań podejmowanych przez władze litewskie wobec mniejszości polskiej na Kowieńszczyźnie pozwoli przeciwstawić się lituanizacji mniejszości polskiej na Wileńszczyźnie. Poza tym wydobycie z zapomnienia i ocalenie od niepamięci śladów polskości na Kowieńszczyźnie jest moralnym obowiązkiem, którego celem jest przywrócenie prawdy historycznej o mieszkających tam Polakach – dawniej i obecnie.
