Abstracts

PL

Polskie obszary morskie - zarówno te wchodzące w skład terytorium Rzeczpospolitej Polskiej, jak i te znajdujące się poza nim są objęte odpowiednią jurysdykcją państwa zapewniającą dbałość o polskie interesy na tych akwenach. Różnorodność przedmiotowa prawnie chronionych wartości wymaga systemowych działań kompetentnych podmiotów. Bezpieczeństwo polskich obszarów morskich w ujęciu militarnym (obronnym), a także pozamilitarnym (ochronnym) na poziomie krajowym jest gwarantowane przez siły morskie RP. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie roli Morskiego Oddziału Straży Granicznej - na tle ustrojowych rozstrzygnięć i występujących zagrożeń - w przeciwdziałaniu pozamilitarnym sytuacjom nadzwyczajnym na polskich obszarach morskich. W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań należy przyjąć, że zakres ustawowych zadań i uprawnień w połączeniu z potencjałem kadrowym i sprzętowym MOSG czyni tę jednostkę Straży Granicznej głównym pozamilitarnym komponentem sił morskich RP.

Polish maritime areas - both those forming part of the territory of the Republic of Poland and those located outside it - are covered by appropriate state jurisdiction ensuring that Polish interests in these waters are taken care of. The subject-matter diversity of legally protected values requires systemic action by competent entities. The security of Polish maritime areas in military (defence) as well as non-military (protection) terms at the national level is guaranteed by the naval forces of the Republic of Poland. The aim of this article is to present the role of the Maritime Border Guard Regional Unit (MOSG) - against the background of systemic solutions and existing threats - in counteracting non-military emergency situations in Polish maritime areas. As a result of the conducted research it should be assumed that the scope of statutory tasks and powers in combination with the personnel and equipment potential of the MOSG makes this unit of the Border Guard the main non-military component of the maritime forces of the Republic of Poland.
