From the texts on the legal regulation of protection and care for the war graves in the Second Polish Republic

Abstract

After World War I, the Polish-Soviet war, and the local military conflicts, the reborn Polish state had to face the burning problem of a huge number of disordered war graves scattered throughout the territory of the entire country. Poland was obliged to regulate the legal protection and care for such objects not only by the unwritten duties of humanitarian and civilizational nature, but also by the ratified international treaties. The aim of the article is to present the chronological order and scope of works, the entities responsible for them as well as individual ideas and solutions for war graves used in the Second Polish Republic.
