As such a topic is relatively new, with the international legal system being breachedby authoritarian regimes using lawfare, the legal aspects of military exercises have not yetbeen researched and thus require more focus, especially from the standpoint of hybrid threats.International law itself is leaky and lacks enforcement measures, since sanctions are not anelement of the international legal arrangement. It lacks a centralised enforcement mechanism,the principles and rules governing responsibility for wrongful acts require the wrongdoerscooperation, and the mechanisms and procedures to deal with the consequences of suchwrongful acts, including restitution and compensation, are not universally recognised. Mostcountries in the global arena follow the paradigm of the United Nations, where states mustmaintain their relations in a peaceful manner in order to achieve security and stability. However,some undemocratic states, mainly the Russian Federation and the Peoples Republicof China, have been presenting hostile postures towards the Western worlds values, wherehuman life tops the hierarchy of protected values. Traditionally, military exercises have beenused as a messaging tool between strategic competitors and potential adversaries to signaltheir own military strength. Russia and China are fully aware of the lack of hard law concerningthe subject of military exercises; they readily seize the resulting opportunities to create andexploit legal grey zones, as well as to frequently breach international law, while knowing thatlittle can be done against their malevolent conduct.","PeriodicalId":403517,"journal":{"name":"Kwartalnik Prawa Międzynarodowego","volume":"21 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132603065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The settlement of property claims resulting from war between states is a problem in which political factors always play the most important role in addition to legal issues. The article discusses the conceptual difference between indemnisation of war and war reparations, the legal basis of the war reparations demanded by Poland from Germany for the consequences of World War II in a broad political context, including the development of Polish-German relations after 1945. Great emphasis is placed on the arrangements of the Potsdam Conference and the legal analysis of the question of the legality of the Polish People's Republic's renunciation of war reparations from Germany in 1953.

The results of the analysis show that the law of Poland fully recognizes the lex loci celebrationis matrimonii principle as long as its implementation does not contradict the fundamental principles of the legal order of the Republic of Poland. Thanks to the institution of the certificate of legal capacity to contract marriage issued by the head of the registry office, the capacity of a Polish citizen to marry abroad is assessed in accordance with the Polish law. It also provides the grounds for the recognition of the marriage contracted abroad in the domestic legal order. However, certain forms of marriage, such as same-sex or polygamous marriage, cannot be recognized since Article 18 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, according to which marriage is a union of a woman and a man, stands against this possibility.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":403517,"journal":{"name":"Kwartalnik Prawa Międzynarodowego","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121861356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Until the beginning of the 20th century, international law recognized the right of a state to wage war as an important manifestation of its sovereignty. Attempts to limit this right boiled down to the development of a just war concept. It was only the United Nations Charter that introduced a ban on the use of force in international relations or the threat of its use. The only permissible exception is the exercise of the right to self-defense, either individually or collectively. Thus, the provisions on declaring war (declaring a state of war) found in the constitutions of some states acquired only a competence value. They define the competence of state organs in the event of an armed conflict. In the Constitution of the Third Republic of Poland (1997), the state of war is regulated in Article 116. The substantive prerequisites for the declaration of a state of war are identical to the implementation of the right of the state to individual or collective self-defense, admitted by the Charter of the United Nations.\u0000\u0000","PeriodicalId":403517,"journal":{"name":"Kwartalnik Prawa Międzynarodowego","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127684370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
