Dissolving assemblies to guarantee security

This paper discusses the possibilities provided by the provisions of the Polish law to dissolve an assembly in order to guarantee security. The author analyzes the provisions of the Polish normative system that defines the essence and scope of the right to freedom of an assembly, and which sets the limits of this freedom. The paper presents the types of assemblies and the typical features of individual assemblies, entities authorized to issue a decision to dissolve an assembly, as well as the premises legalizing the possibility of dissolving each
assembly and the differences between these premises. The author also raises the problem of the legal form of the decision to dissolve an assembly, the procedure for issuing it, and the problems associated with determining the appropriate appeal procedure against the decision to terminate the spontaneous assembly.
