Financial Technology Company's Debt Collection Method: A Legal Aspect
Authors: Johan Suwinto
Published: January 2023

Online loans are an alternative source of loans for the public. Online lending has grown rapidly. Financial technology companies are online loan providers. Financial technology companies use various ways to collect loans that are not paid by customers when they are due. One of the debt collection methods is to distribute photos and debt collection stories of the customer to the contacts in the customer's mobile number. This distribution has caused unrest for the people contacted either via messenger or via SMS. This research aims to discuss the pattern of debt collection by financial technology companies from a juridical viewpoint. This research uses the juridical normative method. This research concludes that data retrieval and data dissemination constitute a violation of personal data protection for customers and people who receive news and SMS. Retrieval of data without approval or contacting a loan with another party without prior knowledge has violated the personal domain of the data owner. The government needs to immediately issue regulations regarding the protection of personal data related to electronic transactions.

Background

Although differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is the most frequent endocrine pediatric cancer, it is rare in childhood and adolescence. While tumor persistence and recurrence are not uncommon, mortality remains extremely low. Complications of treatment are however reported in up to 48% of the survivors. Due to the rarity of the disease, current treatment guidelines are predominantly based on the results of small observational retrospective studies and extrapolations from results in adult patients. In order to develop more personalized treatment and follow-up strategies (aiming to reduce complication rates), there is an unmet need for uniform international prospective data collection and clinical trials.

Methods and analysis

The European pediatric thyroid carcinoma registry aims to collect clinical data for all patients ≤18 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of DTC who have been diagnosed, assessed, or treated at a participating site. This registry will be a component of the wider European Registries for Rare Endocrine Conditions project which has close links to Endo-ERN, the European Reference Network for Rare Endocrine Conditions. A multidisciplinary expert working group was formed to develop a minimal dataset comprising information regarding demographic data, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome. We constructed an umbrella-type registry, with a detailed basic dataset. In the future, this may provide the opportunity for research teams to integrate clinical research questions.

Ethics and dissemination

Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants and/or their parents/guardians. Summaries and descriptive analyses of the registry will be disseminated via conference presentations and peer-reviewed publications.
Cerebral vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage: a rare complication after transsphenoidal surgery for pituitary macroadenoma

Postoperative (PO) complications after transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) are rare when performed in pituitary referral centers. Partial hypopituitarism is more frequent and somewhat expected. Meningitis, cerebrospinal fluid leaks, and visual deficits are unusual. Cerebrovascular complications, including cerebral vasospasm are rare, usually under-appreciated and not mentioned to the patient prior to the surgery. This is a report of a 51-year-old male with a non-functioning pituitary macroadenoma presenting with partial hypopituitarism and visual field loss. The patient was submitted to an uneventful TSS. On the first PO day, he developed a left palpebral ptosis with unequal pupils and impaired consciousness (12 points on Glasgow Coma Scale). CT scan revealed a perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) grade 1 according to the modified Fisher scale. High-dose dexamethasone (16 mg/day) was initiated and the patient became more alert (Glasgow 14). On the fifth PO day, due to progression of the neurological deficits (left III, IV, and VI cranial nerves palsy, ataxia, dysdiadochokinesia, right dysmetria, and dysarthria), a magnetic resonance angiography was obtained and revealed a recent mesencephalic infarct without evident vasospasm. Nevertheless, nimodipine 60 mg 4/4 h was initiated. No improvement was seen after 3 days of treatment. The patient was discharged and put on rehabilitation, returning to normal gait and balance after 7 months. This, therefore, is a case of an unexpected mesencephalic infarct probably due to vasospasm induced by minor SAH. Although exceptionally rare, informing the patient about this event prior to TSS is important due to its significant neurological impact. More data are needed considering preventive treatment with nimodipine as soon as SAH is detected after TSS and whether it would improve neurological outcomes.

Learning points

Whenever neurological deficits arise after transsphenoidal surgery (TSS), systemic infection, meningitis, electrolyte imbalance, and evident hemorrhage must be promptly investigated.

Although rare, cerebral vasospasm (CVS) after TSS is associated with high morbidity and high mortality rates.

Vigilance for vasospasm is necessary for patients undergoing TSS for pituitary adenoma, especially those with significant suprasellar extension.

Informing this event to the patient prior to TSS is essential due to its significant morbidity and mortality.

Post-TSS subarachnoid hemorrhage and hemiparesis may be important clues indicating CVS and infarction.

There is limited evidence in the literature regarding post-TSS CVS surveillance and treatment strategies which could have an impact on clinical decisions.
Synthesis and investigation of bismuth mixed ferrites and manganites
Authors:   , Diliautas Ramūnas
Published: January 2023

The BiFe1-xMnxO3 solid solutions could be easily synthesized by environmentally friendly aqueous sol-gel method. The single-phase compounds can be obtained with Mn3+ substitution level up to 25 mol%. With increasing amount of manganese, the formation of Bi2O4 and Bi2Fe4O9 impurity phases occurred. Intercalation of Mn3+ ions into the Fe3+ positions in the BiFeO3 caused structural changes from rhombohedral cell with space group R3c to the orthorhombic cell with Pnma space group. The magnetization demonstrated that pure sol-gel derived BiFeO3 was antiferromagnetic and weak ferromagnetism was observed for the samples containing Mn3+. The coexistence of magnetically ordered and paramagnetic Fe states in the BiFe1-xMnxO3 solid solutions was observed by results. An aqueous sol-gel method was successfully applied for the preparation of Bi1-xLaxFe0.85Mn0.15O3 (where 0 ≤ x ≤1) solid solution specimens. Depending on La3+ concentration few structural transitions from orthorhombic to cubic and back to orthorhombic were observed in the series. Raman and FT-IR spectroscopies also provided additional structural information. All samples demonstrated antiferromagnetic behaviour, with highest magnetization values observed for Bi0.5La0.5Fe0.85Mn0.15O3 sample. For the first time, an aqueous sol-gel synthetic approach was successfully applied for the preparation of Bi1-xGdxFe0.85Mn0.15O3 solid solutions. By the intercalation of Gd3+ ions magnetization values increased proportionally, and higher annealing temperature led to a decrease in magnetization. Neel temperature decreased due to the presence of Mn3+ ions in the investigated compounds. The (1-x)SrTiO3-xBiMnO3 ((1-x)STO-xBMO) solid solutions could be also synthesized employing an aqueous sol-gel method. The formation of negligible amount of neighbouring Mn3O4 impurity phase was observed for the samples with a higher amount of BMO and evident change in Ti-O bond length Introduction of BMO into STO led to considerable increase in the grain size. Magnetic properties of the (1-x)STO-xBMO samples were determined to be strongly dependent on chemical composition of the samples. Paramagnetic behaviour was observed for all BMO-containing samples and magnetization values increased with the increase in BMO amount.
General attitudes towards the welfare state: the concept and features of measurement
Authors: Dembitskyi Serhii
Published: January 2023

The article is devoted to the results of the development of a sociological test “GSR-5”, designed to measure general attitudes towards the welfare state. A theoretical analysis of the measurement of attitudes towards the welfare state in modern Western societies has been carried out. It is concluded that the entire set of relevant studies can be divided into two categories - a priori (transition from the concept to existing measurements) and a posteriori (focusing on the existing experience of empirical research). At the same time, insufficient attention was revealed to general attitudes towards the state (as a background or stereotypical attitude). The sociological test is proposed based on five indicators in relation to the state: assessment of effectiveness, assessment of the future, assessment of living conditions, assessment of historical achievements and assessment of current events. For the purpose of further empirical validation, the sociological test was included in four large-scale cross-sectional studies using different methods (CAWI, F2F, self-completion, CATI). Based on the obtained results, the factor, criterion and construct validity of the test was checked. The ideal types approach was used to categorize respondents’ attitudes based on their individual responses. As a result, 5 social groups were identified in terms of their attitude to their own state: expressively negative, moderately negative, intermediate, moderately positive and expressively positive. In general, based on the analysis, a conclusion was made about the possibility of using the sociological test “GSR-5” in sociological research.
The concept of civil society as a research program
Authors: Stepanenko Viktor
Published: January 2023

The article attempts to apply the methodology of the research program in its sociological adaptation (D. Berger, M. Zelditch and D. Wagner) to the analysis of historical and contemporary issues of civil society. The concept of civil society is presented as a research program, which is characterized by its own logic of development, historical sequence, variability of semantic representations and actualization of various contextual accents. The structure and features of the concept of civil society as a research program are outlined. Its theoretical core consists of two basic conceptual premises: 1) the principle of social self-activity, separated from state power and 2) the system of norms and value regulations outlined by the concept of civility. The theoretical issues of modern theorizing of civil society are analyzed, in particular the connection between civil society and democracy, the relationship between civil society and the state and the market. It is argued that the key feature of the civil society research program is its historicity and contextuality. The three-stage periodic model of J. Alexander’s civil society concept is analyzed as one of the examples of the development of the research program. It is argued that important methodological guidelines of the sociological research program regarding the conceptualizations of modern Ukrainian civil society are its secularization and nationalization. Modern prospects for the development of the research program of civil society are outlined. It is emphasized that the challenges of political populism require civil society to activate its “protective shield" potential through the acquisition of experience in social activism for many citizens. Resistance to informational fakes and manipulations, which are tools of both populism and military aggression, is also one of the important tasks of domestic civil society and an actual field of research into its contemporary issues.
Generational differences in social situation perception
Authors: Malysh Lina
Published: January 2023

The article provides an intergenerational comparison of the individuals’ position in the social structure and their attitudes to the social situation. Additionally, associations between these parameters were identified. Four subsamples which represented four generations (post-war, transitional, perestroika time and post-Soviet) selected from joint data set of the Ukrainian Society sociological survey conducted by the Institute of Sociology of the NAS of Ukraine in 2018–2021. The generations were born during the period of significant events in Ukrainian history. Four kinds of indicators of the attitudes to the social situation were distinguished (perception of the state of society, orientations of individuals toward a model of social order, satisfaction with their position and the individuals’ social dysfunctions imagery). Moreover, two typologies were constructed (overall satisfaction with status and general orientation towards a model of social order). Indicators of the individual social position were as follows: educational level, family income, qualifications and spatial mobility. There were some generational differences in the distributions of individuals along the main stratification hierarchies, as well in their satisfaction with their life and social status. At the same time, perception of the state of society, orientation towards a model of social order, and individuals’ social dysfunctions imagery had slight differences among generational cohorts. Structural differences in the above attitudes were not very significant. The weakest structural effects on attitudes toward the state of society have been noted for the post-war generation.

Aim: In this prospective study, the efficiency of imaging findings was investigated by comparing the histopathological results of lymph nodes with Doppler and ultrasound features and elasticity scores. Material and method: A total of 100 cervical or axillary lymph nodes with a suspected malignancy or whose size did not decrease after treatment were examined. In addition to the demographic data of the patients, B-mode ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound, and elastography features of the lymph nodes were evaluated prospectively. The irregular shape, increased size, pronounced hypoechogenicity, presence of micro/macro calcification, short axis/long axis ratio >2, increased size of the short axis, increased cortex thickness, obliterated hilus or increased cortex thickness >3.5 mm were evaluated on ultrasound. Resistivity index, pulsatility index, acceleration rate and time were evaluated for intranodal arterial structures on color. Doppler ultrasound, strain ratio value and elasticity score were recorded on ultrasound elastography. After sonographic examination, patients underwent ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology or tru-cutting needle biopsy. Histopathological examination results of the patients were compared with the B-mode ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound, and ultrasound elastography. Results: When the individual and combined effects of the ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound, and ultrasound elastography were evaluated, the combination of all three imaging methods was found to have the highest sensitivity and the highest overall accuracy (90.4% and 73.9%). As an individual method Doppler ultrasound had the highest specificity (77.8%). B-mode ultrasound was found to have the lowest accuracy (56.7%) both in individual and combined evaluations. Conclusion: Addition of ultrasound elastography to the combination of B-mode and Doppler ultrasound findings increases diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy in the differentiation of benign and malignant lymph nodes.

Several studies have shown that ultrasound guidance may contribute to improved safety, effectiveness and accuracy of musculoskeletal interventional procedures performed around the hip if compared to those performed with a landmark-guided technique. Different approaches and injectates can be used for treating hip musculoskeletal disorders. These procedures may involve injections in the hip joint, periarticular bursae, tendons, and peripheral nerves. Intra-articular hip injections are mostly used as a conservative approach for treating patients affected by hip osteoarthritis. Ultrasound-guided injection of the iliopsoas bursa is performed in patients with bursitis and/or tendinopathy, to treat those with painful prosthesis due to iliopsoas impingement, or when the lidocaine test is indicated to identify the iliopsoas as a source of pain. Ultrasound-guided interventions are routinely used in patients with greater trochanteric pain syndrome having as target the gluteus medius/minimus tendons and/or the trochanteric bursae. Ultrasound-guided fenestration and platelet-rich plasma injection are applied in patients with hamstring tendinopathy with good clinical outcomes. Last but not least, ultrasound-guided perineural injections can be used for peripheral neuropathies or blocks of the sciatic, lateral femoral cutaneous, and pudendal nerves. In this paper, we discuss the evidence and technical tips for musculoskeletal interventional procedures performer around the hip, highlighting the added value of ultrasound as an imaging guidance modality.

Aim of the study: Inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare benign tumor that can occur at various body sites. Due to its rare occurrence and histological variety radiological data is heterogeneous and limited. Case description: We present a case of a 71-year-old man with inflammatory pseudotumor of the omentum. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound perfusion pattern showed homogeneous, isoechoic enhancement in the arterial phase with a washout phenomenon in the parenchymal phase, mimicking a peritoneal carcinomatosis. Conclusions: Inflammatory pseudotumor represents a rare, but important benign differential diagnostic option when considering a malignant disorder. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is helpful in identifying vital tissue for a targeted biopsy for subsequent histological examination that is essential for the exclusion of malignancy.

Összefoglaló.
Bevezetés: Az adhézióképződés egy komplex eseménysor, amely
olyan sejtes és molekuláris folyamatok következménye, ahol a normál esettől
eltérően az adhéziógenezist támogató történések dominálnak az adhéziólízissel
szemben. Kiváltásában szerepet játszik többek között a szöveti sérülés, vérzés,
szöveti deszikkáció, illetve a gyulladásos folyamatok. Mivel az adhézió
jelenléte számos negatív szövődménnyel járhat, elsődleges cél a kialakulásának
megakadályozása. Számos prevenciós célpontja van a folyamatnak, azonban a
terápia sok esetben csak közvetlenül a beavatkozás után történik.

A jelen tanulmányban egy adhéziós kísérleti patkány modellt mutatunk be, ahol az
adhézió stabilizálódási időszakának megismerése a cél. Minden állaton ugyanaz a
műtéti beavatkozás történt, szöveti sérülés, kisebb vérzés és szöveti
deszikkáció előidézésével, különbség csak a reoperációk, mintavételek
időpontjában volt. 1–7. posztoperatív napon makroszkóposan és szövettanilag
értékeltük a kialakult adhéziók típusát, az összetapadó szöveteket, az adhézió
stabilitását.

Megállapítottuk, hogy a stabilizálódás egy több napig tartó folyamat, a 4.
posztoperatív napig az instabil és mérsékelten stabil adhéziók domináltak. Ennek
ismerete lehetővé teszi a terápiás ablak kibővítését, a korai posztoperatív
időszakban célzottan, a legmegfelelőbb időszakot kiválasztva, esetleg a
kezelések kombinálásával még hatékonyabbá tehető az adhézióprevenció.

Summary.
Introduction: Adhesion formation is a complex series of events
that results from cellular and molecular processes where, in contrast to the
normal case, events that support adhesion genesis dominate over adhesion lysis.
Tissue injury, haemorrhage, tissue desiccation and inflammatory processes, among
others, play a role in its induction. Since the presence of adhesions can be
associated with a number of negative complications, the primary aim is to
prevent their development. There are several preventive targets for the process,
but in many cases therapy is only provided immediately after the procedure.

In this study, we present an experimental rat model of adhesion, where the aim is
to understand the stabilization period of adhesion. All animals underwent the
same surgical procedure, inducing tissue injury, minor haemorrhage and tissue
desiccation, differing only in the timing of reoperations and sampling. On
postoperative days 1–7, we assessed macroscopically and histopathologically the
type of adhesions formed, the adhesive tissue, the stability of the
adhesion.

We found that stabilization was a process lasting several days, with unstable and
moderately stable adhesions predominating by postoperative day 4. Knowing this
allows to broaden the therapeutic window, targeting the most appropriate period
in the early postoperative period, possibly combining treatments, to make
adhesion prevention even more effective.
O potrzebie zmiany Konstytucji RP z 2 kwietnia 1997 r. w zakresie kadencji oraz funkcji Sejmu i Senatu - kilka uwag na tle konstytucji Czech i Słowacji
Authors:   Uniwersytet Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej w Lublinie, Woźnicki Marek
Published: January 2023

The scope of this article is to show the proposed amendments to the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 1997 with regard to the term and functions of the Sejm and the Senate in Poland. The analysis shows that the provisions of the constitutions of Czechia and Slovakia are more precise, among other things, they more clearly define the parliament’s creative function in relation to the organs of the judicial power. Moreover, the Czech regulation concerning the Senate allows it to strengthen its political significance and position in relation to the first chamber of parliament, i.a. because of its greater role in the legislative procedure. In turn, the provisions contained in the Slovak Constitution protect the parliament against omissions of the head of state. These regulations should serve as a model for amending the Polish basic law.

Published: January 2023

The main purpose of this article is to discuss whether the decisions adopted by the government of the Republic of Lithuania are not in conflict with the guarantees of economic freedom enshrined in the Constitution. The article analyses four issues: 1. what constitutional bases of economic freedom are entrenched in the Constitution of the Republic of Lithuania and the official constitutional doctrine of the Constitutional Court; 2. what conditions for restricting the economic freedom are established by the Lithuanian Constitution; 3. has economic freedom not been violated during the First and Second quarantines in Lithuania; 4. discuss the first case in Lithuania in which the court indicated whether the economic freedom had not been violated during the First Quarantine. The article is based on analytical (critically analyzed legal regulation), constitutionally oriented (presenting the provisions of the Constitution and the constitutional doctrine), and other research methods.
Controversies Regarding the Constitutionality of Cyclical Assemblies in Poland
Authors:   University of Rzeszów, Ura Elżbieta
Published: January 2023

The purpose of the article is to present the amendments introduced to the Act - the Law on Assemblies by the Act adopted on December 13, 2016 and to define a new type of assemblies, i.e. public assemblies. Already the draftamending law has met with unfavorable opinions of the Supreme Court and the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights, which, of course, have not been taken into account. The Act adopted at a very fast pace was also challenged by the President of the Republic of Poland, who appealed to the Constitutional Tribunal to adjudicate on the compliance of its provisions with the Constitution. However, the Tribunal recognised the constitutionality of the new provisions. Briefly presenting the differences between the so-called ordinary assemblies and cyclical assemblies and the procedure related to their organization will allow to put forward the thesis about the introduction of solutions increasing legal uncertainty, violation of the principle of equality and granting the voivode broad discretion when issuing decisions allowing the organization of cyclical assemblies. This will also be confirmed by the indication of the first decisions of the voivode allowing the organization of cyclical assemblies.

Miejsce umów międzynarodowych w porządku prawnym Ukrainy
Authors:   Uniwersytet Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej w Lublinie, Konovalenko Tetiana
Published: January 2023

An important factor in shaping the legal system of an independent democratic state is to define the place of its international obligations in the domestic legal system. International law binds states that are bound by its norms governing their cooperation within the international community. Therefore, it is necessary to refer to the problem of the relation of international law to internal law by analyzing the regulations of the Ukrainian legislation and the international conventions concluded by it. The subject of the analysis are the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine of 1996 and the Act on International Agreements of 2004 as well as the provisions of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of 1969, to which the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic acceded in 1986 and to which Ukraine is now a party.
The Origin of the Contemporary Administrative Territorial Organization of Spain. The Case of Municipalities and Provinces
Authors:   Jagiellonian College – Toruń University, Dankowski Michał Z.
Published: January 2023

Spanish constitutionalists agree that the contemporary territorial organization of their state requires urgent reforms. The administrative map of the state based on traditional territorial units: municipalities and provinces cannot withstand the impact with modern requirements of the “state of autonomy”, as today’s Spain is usually called. While the autonomous communities are relatively recent entities, both municipalities and provinces date back to the Middle Ages, and even to earlier periods.

The Protection of State Security in Cyberspace as a Justifying Ground for Restricting Constitutional Freedoms and Rights
Authors:   University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Karpiuk Mirosław
Published: January 2023

This article discusses state security in cyberspace as a ground for legitimising interference with the exercise of personal rights and freedoms. It aims to outline the circumstances which justify restricting civil liberties and the underlying rules for such restrictions. Constitutional freedoms and rights are not absolute and as such may be restricted in the event of material threat. However, such restriction may not be arbitrary or serve as a means of political attack. It was expressly indicated by the legislators when, and by whom, certain restrictions might be introduced, and when such interference would be considered inadmissible. The types of restrictions on human and civil rights and freedoms should correspond to the nature and degree of the cyberspace threats that affect the normal functioning of the state. This article uses the legal dogmatics method to analyse the current legal regulations in terms of cybersecurity as a justifying ground for restricting personal freedoms and rights.
Superprezydencjalizm jako odrębny system polityczno-prawny
Authors:   Krakowska Akademia im. Andrzeja Frycza Modrzewskiego, Czachor Rafał
Published: January 2023

The classical typology distinguishes three models of sharing state power: parliamentarism, semi-presidentialism, and presidentialism. Distinctive features concern the position of main state organs and mutual relations between the legislature and executive bodies. The following paper argues in favor of enriching such classification by distinguishing superpresidentialism. It confirms that there is a group of political systems that do not fit traditional typology, combining some features of the semi-presidentialism and presidentialism. The core feature of the superpresidentialism is the domination of the President over the political system, its leading position in exercising power, control over the government, significant competences towards legislature and judiciary. The content of the superpresidentialism is discussed basing on the example of Central Asian republics.

The constitutionally guaranteed principle of autonomy of universities, necessary for the implementation of the mission of the system of higher education and science means, among other things, that the authorities of higher education institutions must be left with the sphere of free decision on matters of internal organization. In view of the problems that occur in the life of academic communities, related, among others, to the implementation of the principle of equality and non-discrimination, the need to provide special protection for persons with disabilities, the authors reflect on the need to create ombudsman institutions in universities, indicating the principles on the basis of which such bodies could be created and operate in such a way that it could be reconciled with the principle of autonomy of universities.

The method of investigation of the law in force and a legal analysis are used in this study. A reference to decisions of the Constitutional Tribunal and of the Supreme Administrative Court was also necessary.

The paper discusses the characteristics of the Constitutional Tribunal as an illiberal constitutional court. After the political remodelling initiated in 2015 and the capture of the Tribunal, this body gained a new role in developing, protecting and stabilizing illiberal constitutionalism. The Tribunal, as an illiberal constitutional court, often adjudicates in panels inconsistent with constitutional rules, is abusively activated by the ruling option and issues judgments that are beneficial to the rulers and justify their constitutionally questionable actions. How an illiberal constitutional court operates is presented in the example of an abortion judgment, file ref. no. K 1/20. This case also shows the illiberal ground of the new system.
W poszukiwaniu modelu ustrojowego kontroli zgodności prawa z Konstytucją w okresie II Rzeczypospolitej
Authors:   Akademia Ekonomiczno-Humanistyczna w Warszawie, Łukaszczuk Agnieszka
Published: January 2023

Searching a coherent model of the systemic control of the compliance of statutory law with the constitution was an arduous process conducted by theoreticians of law throughout the entire period of forming the system of the Second Polish Republic. The statements which seemed to be correct in the opinion of recognized legal authorities, were not – apart from a few exceptions that overcame the general aversion to such views – adopted by the legislator during the revision of the March constitution. What is more, the control of the constitutionality of the law was not accepted during the work on the April constitution. The reason for that was its ideological conditions, based on the concept of the President’s authoritarian supreme power in terms of state system, which did not allow for appointing a body responsible for examining the compliance of the acts of law with the constitution.
Znaczenie Konstytucji Republiki Iraku z 2005 r. jako efektu operacji „Iracka Wolność”
Authors:   Uniwersytet Rzeszowski, Milczanowski Maciej , Marcisz-Dynia Anna ,   Uniwersytet Rzeszowski
Published: January 2023

The adoption of a constitution is usually a breakthrough event, initiating a new reality for a given community, although it often becomes only a meaningless document, the provisions of which are ignored by the rulers, irrelevant or even unknown to the society. The armed operation of the Coalition Forces under the political and military leadership of the US, which lasted from 2003 to 2010, creates an important context for the constitution of the Republic of Iraq, which was implemented in December 2005. Therefore, it is important to place this constitution against the background of events and other documents of this rank in Iraq. Only in such a context can the significance of this fundamental law be properly assessed. For this purpose, a source analysis of both the text of the Constitution of 2005 and previous documents of a similar rank in Iraq was carried out, as well as an analysis of the political and military situation and the changing internal socio-political conditions in order to place this legal act in the right context.
