Організації національних та етнічних меншин у сучасному польському законодавстві

Abstract

Проаналізовано політико-правовий аспект легітимації громадських організацій національних та етнічних меншин в Республіці Польща. Зазначено, що сформоване законодавче поле гарантує необхідні умови для створення та діяльності громадських організацій меншин, що задовольняють власні освітні, культурні, мовні та інші права. The paper discusses the political and legal legitimation aspects of public organizations of national and ethnic minorities in Poland. The author investigates the Polish legislation and the international law implementation concerning the establishment of these organizations and their activities. The current legislation ensures the necessary conditions for their existence to meet their educational, cultural, language and other rights. The organizations of national and ethnic minorities in Poland ensure an active dialogue between the state and the minorities. The research is based on the legislation and international agreements of the Republic of Poland from 1989 to 2008, covering legal aspects of the public organizations of the national and ethnic minorities. The research shows that individuals belonging to the national and ethnic minorities are members of the Joint Commission of the Government and National and Ethnic Minorities that is an advisory body to the Prime Minister. It is concluded that the political and legal status of the national and ethnic minorities in Poland corresponds to the internationally recognised fundamental human rights and freedoms. The analysis of the Polish legislation makes it possible to conclude that the right of the ethnic minorities to establish the organizations is not completely regulated and it is guaranteed as part of the universal human rights in numerous legal acts, international agreements and other legal documents.
