    ADR in Sport on the Example of Association Football in Poland and Ukraine
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2023) Sławicki, Piotr; Kryzhanivskyi, Viktor
    The subject of this article is the use of ADR in sports disputes in association football under the Polish and Ukrainian law. Professional and amateur sport generates various types of disputes related to both disciplinary and civil cases, an example of which may be disputes arising during the execution of contracts binding players and football clubs. In the first part, the scope of disputes that are subject to ADR in association football is outlined. The next part presents legal solutions adopted under the Polish law in this respect, of which the activity of the Football Arbitration Court of the Polish Football Association is a particular example. The last chapter is devoted to the Ukrainian perspective on the resolution of disputes in association football.

    Do the Rules of Europe’s Leading Institutional Arbitration Courts and the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules Need to Be Revised? Assessment from the Perspective of 2023
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2023) Asłanowicz, Marcin
    While some issues (e.g. the principles of service, the expedited procedure for resolving cases and the admissibility of securing a claim before initiating proceedings) are regulated in a manner that satisfies the requirements of 2023, other issues (e.g. the rules of holding remote hearings or the consequences of failing to meet deadlines in arbitration, in particular the deadlines for issuing an award) would require a number of modifications and improvements. This suggests that a postulate should be presented for a broader discussion within the community – both in Poland and abroad – on the shape of the regulations in this area that would be the most comfortable for the parties to the proceedings, the arbitral tribunals and the arbitral institutions, while respecting the basic (universal) arbitration rules.

    Criminal Mediation in Polish and Bosnian Legislation – Similarities, Differences, and Challenges in the 21st Century
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2023) Skrobotowicz, Grzegorz Adam; Kazić-Çakar, Ena
    Worldwide, mediation is one of the most used mechanisms of alternative dispute resolution across many fields of law and one of the most common forms of restorative justice. Although it brings advantages to criminal law, some criticize its potential application for certain types of crimes. However, its benefits seen through effectiveness, efficiency in reaching conflict solutions, and the positive impact on victims and perpetrators are irrefutable. Having that in mind, this article aims to conduct comparative research, discuss the functioning of mediation in criminal cases in Polish and Bosnian criminal law and present similarities and differences between their legal regulations. Mediacja jest jednym z najczęściej stosowanych na świecie mechanizmów alternatywnego rozwiązywania sporów w większości dziedzin prawa i jedną z najbardziej znanych form sprawiedliwości naprawczej. Choć ma swoje zalety dla prawa karnego, niektórzy krytykują jej potencjalne zastosowanie w przypadku niektórych rodzajów przestępstw. Jednakże korzyści płynące z jej stosowania, postrzegane poprzez skuteczność, efektywność w osiąganiu rozwiązań konfliktu oraz pozytywny wpływ na ofiary i sprawców, są niepodważalne. Mając to na uwadze, celem artykułu jest przeprowadzenie badań porównawczych i omówienie funkcjonowania mediacji w sprawach karnych w polskim i bośniackim prawie karnym oraz przedstawienie podobieństw i różnic pomiędzy tymi regulacjami prawnymi.

    The Right to Self-Determination of Peoples through Examples of Åland Islands and Quebec: Recommendations for a Peaceful International Legal Order
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2023) Ljubović, Mirza
    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.
