“…The concept of cooperation in the field of building, shaping, and preserving a lasting peace throughout the globe presupposes the need to maintain cooperation in the most important areas of progress (Wadjdi et al, 2023;Bamigboye, 2023). The areas which have been in the long run considered as principal are cooperation in politics, economy, security, protection of the biosphere, or cooperation in the unification of the anthropological aspects of life (such as identity, culture, and ethics).…”

Throughout human history, there has never been a single line of organisation of society. The implementation of different ideas has always been carried out as a project developed because of the real needs of people. Numerous projects have become established and continued to the present day. However, a lot of them degenerated and changed the image of the world in such a way that they became the cause of conflicts. There has also been fragmentation in the implementation of human desire for peace but also desires for rebellion and rejection of inherited cultural or political patterns. We chose pacifism and extremism to compare two forms of the image of the world throughout history. Pacifism is one of the few movements or ideologies which tolerates any national, religious, cultural, or identity-building diversity, and as such, automatically becomes the opposite of extremism, which in its essence either negates or completely denies diversity or plurality. The primary aim of this article is to analyse the mottos of pacifism, to emphasise the universality of its principles as one of the possible defence mechanisms against the spread of aggressive, polarised, and militant tendencies which jeopardise individual societies, and to point out the potential of mutual influence between the constructs so diverse as pacifism and extremism.

The article’s main objective was to characterize the assumptions of civil protection in Poland in the context of the National Security Strategy of the Republic of Poland as of 2020. As a result of the study, it was found that in the document of strategic importance, which is the National Security Strategy of the Republic of Poland in force since 2020, a lot of attention was paid to the issue of the security of the state and its citizens – the entire first pillar, which is also the main national interest of Poland. Within this pillar, particular importance was attached to the management of national security, state resilience and general defence, the Polish Armed Forces, cybersecurity and information space.

Jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court in the Hague and War Crimes in Ukraine in the Face of Security

War is theoretically subject to the laws of armed conflict but, in practice, it brings in its wake war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and the crime of aggression. The parties to an armed conflict are unable and/or unwilling to hold the perpetrators of these crimes (oftentimes their own citizens) to account. Part of the rationale for establishment of the International Criminal Court was to offer a way forward in this regard. Yet the suspected war criminal – even the political leader of the aggressor state – must be apprehended and brought to The Hague so that he may face the Court. This is no easy task, thwarted by a variety of formal, factual, and political obstacles; all too often, the idea of a supranational justice system presided over by the International Criminal Court proves illusory, if not fictitious. In this article, these points are discussed in reference to the crimes being committed against the Ukrainian population by the Russian aggressors.
