Today, we witness a growing Poland's activity in delegating its soldiers to serve in frames of international peace-keeping operations. The legal source for such decisions is rooted both in the Poland's national law and its international legal commitments, especially within the Law of Armed Conflicts. Also the local laws are binding for soldiers on the mission. All these provisions define the legal status of soldiers, their rights and obligations under law, as well as the scope of responsibility in case of conduct which would disobey the binding rules. All these questions within the specific context of peace-keeping organizations are elaborated in the paper at hand.
