Journal Title: Krytyka Prawa. Niezależne studia nad prawem - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
In accordance with the Resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, concern-ing the methods of getting rid of the legacy of the former communist totalitarian regimes, this legacy of the totalitarian system may not be overcome violating the principles of a democracy ruled by law. The notion of a democratic rule of law was introduced in the Polish constitutional order by the Con-tract Sejm, which was elected in the Polish parliamentary elections on the 4th and 18th of June 1989. The Constitutional Tribunal of the Republic of Poland decided in its ruling from the 10th of Novem-ber 1998, in which it assessed the constitutionality of some of the regulations of the Vetting Law after the modification of the 18th of June 1998, that the vetting procedure, understood as a by law regulated mechanism of investigating the relationships and relations of people that were running for the highest state positions, which involved a particular high level of responsibility and at the same time social trust, is by principle not supposed to raise any doubts with respect to the constitution, and especially the in article 2 defined concept of a democratic rule of law, as well as with respect to international standards. In this article, the author successively analyzes the vetting laws as well as the rulings of the Constitutional Tribunal in the context of the notion of democratic rule of law.
