THE LUSTRATION OF THE MEMBERS OF THE POLISH HUNTING ASSOCIATION (PZŁ) FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE LAW AND THE PRACTICE
Journal Title: International Journal of Legal Studies ( IJOLS ) - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The lustration process is a legal procedure that exposes the fact work or service in the bodies of state security or cooperation with such bodies in the years 1944-1990. Persons performing public functions or the candidate to perform those functions are subject to such procedure. The Polish legislator has decided that it also applies to the members of certain private organisations/ associations, including the Polish Hunters Association (PZŁ). Members of the PZŁ who wish to be candidates in the election for delegates to the meetings of PZŁ delegates or to perform functions in the bodies of the PZŁ Association and hunter’s associations, even though they are not public figures within the meaning of the Article 115 of the Criminal Code, have to undergo the processes of lustration. Such an obligation results from the provisions of the Act on the disclosure of the work or service in the bodies of state security or cooperation with such bodies in the years 1944-1990 by persons performing public functions. The abovementioned Act was amended and introduced new provisions (Article 33d) to the Hunting Act in order to apply the analyzed procedure. The article presents legal conditions and factual situations as well as the principles and the process of lustration among hunters.<br/><br/>
