Legitymacja prawna KRN

Abstract

The author undertakes a consideration of: 1) the socio-ideologica1 bases, 2) the formally legal foundation, 3) the justification under international public law of t he activities of t h e Home National Council (KRN), an organ created by the communists in 1944 as a counterweight for the Government- in-Exile of the Republic of Poland in Great Britain (the recognition of which was revoked by the Allies as a result of the Yalta agreement). The problem of the legal legitimacy of the KRN matters for t h e assessment of the legal continuity of t he Polish state.
