Zobowiązanie Rady Ministrów do wycofania się z Traktatu Ottawskiego

The Deputies’ Draft Resolution under consideration calls on the Polish government to withdraw from the Ottawa Treaty and to return to the use of anti-personnel mines as part of the engineering preparation of border areas. The author concludes that although European Union law does not provide for an explicit obligation to accede to the Ottawa Convention, the EU is working towards universal adherence to the Convention and its effective application. Denunciation of the Ottawa Convention would therefore deviate from the standard of conduct of the other Member States that are party to the Convention. Denunciation of the Convention could be seen as a violation of the obligation to strengthen and develop mutual political solidarity, as well as the obligation to refrain from actions that would be contrary to the interests of the European Union.
