The paper concentrates on the right to self-determination of indigenous peoples on the basis of the Nisga’a Nation. The author analyzes the most important provisions of the Nisga’a Final Agreement, in particular those envisaging self-determination of the Nisga’a Nation. Then the author briefly examines the Nisga’a Constitution which may be regarded as a means to implement the Nisga’a Final Agreement. It shows how the Nisga’a selfgovernance model fits into the provisions on self-determination of indigenous peoples. The thesis of this paper is that the Nisga’a self-governance is consonant with international legal standards expressed in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Nisga’a selfgovernment model is much more than just cultural autonomy: it actually amounts to political autonomy. This subject is worth exploring because it may serve as a pattern to be followed with reference to other indigenous peoples, not only in Canada.

In contemporary public international law, it is increasingly common that in many countries of the world and Europe, political representatives of the peoples are calling for an inalienable right to the external self-determination of the peoples involving secession to try to achieve their independence and autonomy, forming their national states to the detriment of already existing countries in which they are currently living. However, this may cause destabilization and wars in many complex multiethnic states and the European Union. Therefore, the Aland Islands and Quebec cases are extremely important for today’s understanding of the exercise of the right to self-determination of the people in contemporary public international law, in particular as the International Court of Justice in The Hague and the domestic courts invoke them as precedents to address all future cases of reference to the right of the people to external self-determination involving secession. Based on those cases, it has developed that the issue of secession is the question of the internal legal order of each sovereign country, which should deal with this issue through its constitutional legal order, and contemporary public international law should deal with its consequences. In connection with this, it is necessary to investigate and offer answers that will highlight possible abuses of the right to self-determination of all peoples as a collective human right in contemporary public international law. Such unlawful conduct may result in adverse legal consequences, in particular, the violation of basic principles of public international law, including the principles of territoriality and sovereignty of the states, the distortion of world peace and order, economic progress, the rule of law and the pursuit of basic human rights and freedoms, as well as other collective human rights, which may ultimately be the cause of provocation and lead to international and civil wars.

The purpose of the study: The aim of the study is to examine whether and how public international law (in genere) and international human rights (in specie) is subject to change. The aim of the study is also to investigate whether and how this has consequences for international security. Research problems: Main research problems: Has the paradigm of international public law changed (regardless of whether it is subject to the process of legal convergence or legal discrepancy), and has the paradigm for the protection of human rights been transformed due to this transformation? In connection with the above-mentioned transformations, or in autonomous way, could there be or has there been a redefinition of the role of the state and the idea and method of exercising sovereignty? What is happening in the sphere of international security in connection with these changes, and in particular what is the actual UN’s standard of protection of human rights? Research methods:analysis of source texts (acts of public international law); comparative analysis of political solutions and legally conditioned socio-political phenomena (dogmatic, legal philosophy and legal sociology analysis, with elements of political and legal history analysis) in diachronic terms for the studied range. Conclusion: State sovereignty has been transformed from the title of claim to cease the violation into the personal right to protection (vested in an individual and minority/people/mankind in general). The inherent unity of the international law as the common legal system of the international community is subject, along with this community, to fundamental divergence: into the law governing (internal) relationships between members of the transatlantic security community (NATO acquis and the European law), which form a normatively and institutionally interrelated self-contained regime on the one hand, and the international law that governs the relations between the countries of the Western Hemisphere and other subjects of the international law on the other hand.

The article describes the problem of manned space missions in the context of human rights of their participants. A brief description of the space exploration attempts was presented, including organization of increasingly bold manned expeditions, which was the apogee of the Cold War between the US and the USSR. As part of the study, the concept of a flight to Mars was included, which involves several competing programs, with participation of the private sector. The article presents human rights that may be at risk during manned space missions, especially missions to Mars. The right to life, to health protection and to self-determination have been described, according to both international and Polish legal acts. In the final part of the article, an analysis was presented of admissibility of manned space missions in the context of state obligations to protect presented rights.

W artykule podjęty został problem załogowych misji kosmicznych w kontekście praw człowieka, przysługujących ich uczestnikom. Przedstawiony został skrócony opis prób poznania kosmosu i organizowania coraz śmielszych wypraw załogowych, co stanowiło apogeum zimnowojennej rywalizacji pomiędzy USA a ZSRR. W zakresie badawczym znalazła się w szczególności koncepcja lotu na Marsa, która pozostaje przedmiotem kilku konkurencyjnych programów, angażujących także sektor prywatny. W artykule przedstawiono prawa człowieka, które mogą być zagrożone podczas kosmicznych misji załogowych, w szczególności podczas misji na Marsa. Opisano prawo do życia, do ochrony zdrowia oraz do samostanowienia, w ujęciu aktów prawa międzynarodowego oraz prawa polskiego. W końcowej części artykułu przedstawione zostały rozważania nad dopuszczalnością prowadzenia misji załogowych w kontekście obowiązków państwa do ochrony wymienionych praw.

Jednym z podstawowych praw człowieka jest prawo do samostanowienia o sobie, które w prawie medycznym wyraża się poprzez wyrażenie przez pacjenta zgody na leczenie. Dlatego też polski ustawodawca, chcąc jak najlepiej zagwarantować realizację tego prawa, wydał szereg przepisów dotyczących wymogów, jakie należy spełnić, aby wyrazić zgodę, oraz przewidział prawne mechanizmy ich ochrony. W artykule autor dokonał analizy przepisów prawnych polskiego systemu prawnego dotyczących wyrażania zgody na leczenie przez pacjenta oraz przedstawił poglądy doktryny wypracowane w tej materii.

Paul Vladimiri (1370–1435) was a distinguished Polish scholar and jurist who defended the rights of Poland and native non-Christian tribes against the Teutonic Knights and their policies of conquest. He expressed the view that a world guided by the principles of peace and mutual respect among nations was possible, and that pagan nations had a right to peace and to possession of their own lands. Vladimiri’s analysis of the right of native peoples to self-determination anticipated by several hundred years the investigations of many subsequent authors – including Francesco Vittoria, Bartolome de Las Casas, Hugo Grotius, and John Marshall. The influence of his views can be seen today, among others, in the theory of constitutional justice developed by the Italian legal theorist Gustavo Zagrebelsky. The main purpose of this article is to outline the views of Vladimiri and Zagrebelsky, and to analyze the principles of constitutional justice in its global dimension as a tool for resolving conflicts between states in the age of hybrid wars.
