International criminal tribunals had to make a choice between the principles of opportunism and legalism or decide to use a mixture of these both. They had to decide whether a prosecutor should become “the minister of justice” (as in the principle of legalism) or “the first judge” (evaluating in the frames of principle of opportunism the reasonable basis for prosecuting). This article addresses prosecutorial discretion before the ICC with respect to selecting defendants. Firstly, it analyzes the main differences between opportunism and legalism of prosecution. It also presents models of accusation functioning before the historical and existing international criminal tribunals – which usually opted for opportunism of prosecution. Before the ICC the conditions on which the Prosecutor may initiate an investigation are set in Art. 53(1) of the Statute: “The Prosecutor shall, having evaluated the information made available to him or her, initiate an investigation unless he or she determines that there is no reasonable basis to proceed under this Statute.” It is interesting to observe that this phrase may be interpreted in many various ways, depending on the model of accusation the author belongs to: those coming from the Anglo-Saxon tradition have tendency to search for elements of opportunism; those from civil law states assume that the model of accusation operates according to the principle of legalism. There is also a number of mixed options presented, according to which the ICC operates according to a mixture of these two principles. Finally, the article presents different rules adopted by the ICC Prosecutor (or proposed), which govern the choice of the defendants.

The subject of the article is an attempt to show that concluding an urban contract is a form of public administration activity of an administrative nature, not a civil one. As a result of the contract, an administrative-legal relationship is established. Its characteristic feature is that in order for this relationship to arise it is necessary for the other party to agree. The other party is an investor who is supposed to carry out the project at his own expense. The basis for the conclusion of the contract is not the freedom of contracting, but administrative law specifying the competence of the administration to conclude a contract as well as determining the acceptable content of the contract. The urban contract is therefore an administrative contract. The article also presents the basic features of an administrative contract. In the study, the achievements of Polish and German doctrine were used. The administra­tive contract is not regulated under Polish law but relevant provisions are contained in the German Act on Administrative Proceedings. In addition, a public law contract has been described as an instrument of action in the implementation of European Union law. In this context, two cases were distinguished, i.e. the conclusion of a contract by national authorities and the conclusion of a contract by the Union institutions. In the latter case, it was necessary to interpret the provisions of the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The characteristics of the administrative contract which make it a good means of establishing an administrative-legal relationship are also presented. Of particular importance is the opportunity of creating the content of the relationship by the entities involved. This enables the formation of individual provisions adapted to a specific case. At the same time, because the consent of both parties is needed to conclude a contract, such an administrative contract protects the interests of both parties to the legal relationship. Public administration’s ability to act in spe­cific situations must be ensured and for that reason the administrative contract will probably develop further.

Succession or transformation of the political system is a process that often requires dealing with the shameful past. The history of European countries in the 20th century knows many examples of such events. Thus, different countries have different approaches to assessing and settling the past. The aim of the article is not to evaluate political decisions, but only to look at dogmatic issues. Is politics above the law? On the other hand, is the thick line strategy legally fair and morally sound? The author hypothesizes that the European Court of Human Rights does not assess justice made by states – successors of the "difficult historical past", but only assesses the legality of the judgments made. As a result of the analysis of the jurisprudence of the ECtHR and the literature, it can be concluded that an international institution such as the European Tribunal does not want to assess the policy chosen by states, but only the issues of respecting the principle of legality.

Sukcesja czy transformacja systemu politycznego jest procesem niejednokrotnie wymagającym zmierzenia się z niechlubną przeszłością. Historia państw europejskich w XX w. zna wiele przykładów takich wydarzeń. Różne państwa podchodzą w odmienny sposób do oceny i rozliczenia przeszłości. Celem artykułu nie jest ocena decyzji politycznych, a jedynie przyjrzenie się kwestiom dogmatycznym oraz odpowiedź na pytanie, czy polityka stoi ponad prawem. Z drugiej strony należy postawić pytanie, czy strategia grubej kreski jest prawnie sprawiedliwa i moralnie słuszna. Autorka stawia hipotezę, że Europejski Trybunał Praw Człowieka nie odnosi się do oceny sprawiedliwości dokonywanej przez państwa – sukcesorów „trudnej przeszłości historycznej”, a jedynie ocenia legalizm podjętych orzeczeń. W wyniku analizy orzecznictwa ETPCz oraz literatury można dojść do wniosku, że instytucja międzynarodowa, jaką jest Europejski Trybunał, nie chce oceniać polityki obranej przez państwa, a jedynie kwestie poszanowania zasady legalizmu.

This paper concerns the verifying proceedings regulated in Article 307 of the Polish Code of Criminal Procedure. I analyse this procedural institution from the perspective of its function in Polish criminal proceedings. I start by listing the key principles applicable to this regulation and embark on an interpretation of the legislator’s intention regarding the functions of this institution with reference to the purpose of verifying proceedings. I then move on to consider the individual functions of verifying proceedings. I discuss the grounds for the separate treatment of verifying proceedings and related aspects of criminal proceedings.

Artykuł dotyczy postępowania sprawdzającego uregulowanego w art. 307 k.p.k. Autorka dokonuje analizy tej instytucji procesowej z perspektywy jej funkcji w polskim procesie karnym. W początkowej części pracy wskazuje na najważniejsze założenia związane z ww. regulacją, a następnie, w nawiązaniu do celu czynności sprawdzających, podejmuje próbę odczytania zamiarów ustawodawcy związanych z funkcjami tej instytucji. Następnie rozważania dotyczą poszczególnych funkcji postępowania sprawdzającego. Autorka wskazuje na uzasadnienie ich wyodrębnienia i związane z tym aspekty karnoprocesowe.
