The author reconstructs the historical events and circumstances that had eventually led to the establishment of the Polish concordat of 1925. The article presents the outline of the situation of the Polish Catholic Church after Poland's reappearance among the independent European nations against the backdrop of the most pressing political and social issues, such as the controversy surrounding the projected land reform. One can also find the analysis of the major political, ecclesiastical and scholarly figures involved in drafting and enacting into law of the concordat, as well as its fate until its abolishment by the communist government in 1945.

Andorra is one of the youngest European democracies. For many centuries it was a non-sovereign and undemocratic entity with a complicated international status. The subject of this article is the constitutional position of the speaker of the Andorran parliament – the General Syndic of the General Council. The author tries to analyse how position of the Syndic changed after the adoption of the 1993 constitution and what position in the system of state organs is now occupied by the parliament's Speaker.

The conclusion of the Concordat between the Holy See and the Republic of Poland on July 28, 1993 was undoubtedly an important event in the recent history of the mutual relations between the Polish state and the Catholic Church. However, due to the political disputes, the process of ratification of this international agreement was significantly delayed. The present paper discusses one element of this process, that is, the debate that was held at the sitting of the Sejm Committee for Foreign Affairs on 16 December, 1997. The debate concerned, among other things, the legislative procedure for ratification of the Concordat and the issue of including the Government's interpretive declaration of 15 April, 1997 in the ratification act. As a result of the work undertaken by the Committee, the draft ratification act was submitted to the Sejm and subsequently adopted on 8 January, 1998. The Concordat was ratified on 23 February, 1998. ; Podpisanie w dniu 28 lipca 1993 r. Konkordatu między Stolicą Apostolską a Rzecząpospolitą Polską było ważnym wydarzeniem w najnowszej historii wzajemnych stosunków Państwa polskiego i Kościoła Katolickiego. Spory polityczne sprawiły jednak, że proces ratyfikacji tej umowy międzynarodowej znacząco przeciągnął się w czasie. W niniejszym opracowaniu przedstawiony został jeden z elementów tego procesu, a mianowicie debata przeprowadzona w trakcie obrad sejmowej Komisji Spraw Zagranicznych, jaka odbyła się 16 grudnia 1997 r. W jej trakcie poruszone zostały kwestie dotyczące trybu uchwalenia ustawy ratyfikacyjnej oraz włączenia do niej deklaracji interpretacyjnej Rządu RP z dnia 15 kwietnia 1997 r. W wyniku prac Komisji do Sejmu skierowany został projekt ustawy ratyfikacyjnej, którą uchwalono 8 stycznia 1998 r. Ratyfikacja Konkordatu nastąpiła w dniu 23 lutego 1998 r.
