The emergence of an independent Polish state and the problem of national minorities by G. G. Dedurin

“…However, the situation in Poland with regard to national minorities became a classic example of the discrepancy between law-making theory and law enforcement practice. It has been proved that due to the lack of mechanisms for monitoring compliance with international norms which were supposed to guarantee the rights of national minorities and imperfections in domestic legislation, the Polish authorities at various levels have repeatedly violated the democratic principles of the March 1921 Constitution and other legal acts designed to ensure equal rights for representatives of national minorities, which, in turn, created constant tension within the Second Polish Republic, destabilising the internal situation in the country. …”
