INTRODUCTION The role of the judiciary within a political power structure and, in particular, its relation to the other branches of government, has always been a thorny and sensitive issue in countries of "real communism." On the one hand, communist rulers found it useful to create the appearance of retaining the "bourgeois" concept of judicial independence as a subterfuge for legiti- mizing their autocratic, in some instances even totalitarian, system of power. At the same time, however, they have always advanced the principle of the "leading role" of the Party as the fundamental tenet of their ideology. Despite all the scholarly effort, it proved impossible to devise a plausible theory which would diffuse the conflict between the officially proclaimed ideal of judicial independence and the Party's hegemonic role. As a result, most theorists dealing with the question of judicial independence in communist societies resorted to a set of carefully crafted phrases, obscuring rather than revealing the nature of the conflict.

  • The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in Poland
    THE EU CHARTER OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS in Poland [N]ational authorities (judicial authorities, law enforcement bodies and administrations) are “key actors in giving concrete effect to the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Charter” European Parliament (2015), Resolution on the situation of fundamental rights in the European Union (2013–2014) 2014/2254(INI)), Strasbourg, CHARTER COUNTRY-SHEET CHARTER 8 September 2015, recital P. The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union is the EU’s bill of human rights. It contains 50 articles with substantive rights and principles, followed by four articles with general provisions. Member States have a duty to respect the rights and observe the principles of the Charter whenever they are acting within the scope of binding EU law. Where the Charter provisions are sufficiently precise and unconditional, they can have a direct effect at the national level – for instance in national courtrooms. Charter provisions that are ‘principles’ can only be invoked before a court if implemented by legislative or executive acts. Member States have an explicit duty to promote the Charter’s application. This country- sheet supports that effort by giving examples of the Charter’s use and highlighting how it adds value. Given that EU law is predominantly implemented at national level, national judges, parliamentarians, government officials and legal practitioners are core ‘Charter agents’ on The EU Charter as whom the EU system relies. The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights primarily an obligation: when are addresses the EU itself. It binds EU Member Polish authorities required States “only when they are implementing Union law” (Article 51 of the Charter).
