Règles du droit pénal polonais dans la période de l’entre-deux-guerres
Polish Penal Law in the Interwar Period

Summary/Abstract: After the rebirth of the Polish state in 1918 there were several post-partition criminal acts in force. Established in 1919, the Codifi cation Commission was to develop a uniform civil and criminal law. One of the tasks accomplished by the Commission was the substantive criminal law. The modern Code of 1932, developed among others by Julian Makarewicz, was one of the outstanding projects prepared by leading criminal law scholars of the interwar period. It comprehensively introduced the principle of nullum crimen sine lege. It included innovative solutions, including elements of the sociological school of criminal law, as well as a concisely regulated individual responsibility of the instigator and accomplice.
