Unia Europejska w obliczu wyzwań praworządności
The European Union in the Face of Rule of Law Challenges

Summary/Abstract: The rule of law is a value that constitutes the foundation of the European Union, as explicitly stated in the treaties that establish it. But how should this concept be understood, and can we genuinely speak of a common “rule of law” applicable to all member states? Is it possible to develop a definition of the “rule of law” that is acceptable from the perspectives of both the European Union and the constitutional traditions of selected member states? This analysis was facilitated by a review of relevant literature, legal acts (both national and international), the application of the dogmatic-legal method, comparative law, and an examination of ongoing issues surrounding the essence of the rule of law in Poland and other European Union countries over recent years.
