The INR is a national in stitution whose role is, among others, to prosecute perpetrators of in ternational crimes committed between 1917-1990. The article proves that the wording of the amendments is in consistent with in ternational law, as it ignores the principles of in ternational responsibility, definitions of in ternational crimes, and disproportionately limits freedom of expression. In consequence, it cannot be expected that third states will cooperate with Poland in the execution of responsibility for violation of the newly adopted norms.}, type={Materiały źródłowe / Source materials}, title={Amendments of January 2018 to the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance – Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation in Light of International Law}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/110387/PDF-MASTER/15_Grzebyk.pdf}, keywords={denial crime, double criminality, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, Institute of National Remembrance, memory law, rule of law}, }
