Scientific Association of the Tadeusz Bigo Local Self-Government has the pleasure of inviting you to the II National Scientific Conference from the series entitled „Samorząd terytorialny wobec współczesnych wyzwań” (“Local self-government in the face of contemporary challenges”), which will be held on May 9th, 2024, remotely (via MS Teams app).
The main theme of second edition of the Conference will be “Independence of local self-government units from the perspective of the 30th anniversary of the European Charter of Local Self-Government”. The document of the Council of Europe was drawn up on October 15th, 1985 in Strasbourg, while the Republic of Poland ratified the ECLSG in 1994. The Charter strongly refers to the idea of independence of local communities – which, in accordance with the Preamble of the Charter, constitute one of the fundamental foundations of the democratic system – regarding competences, methods of exercising them and the means necessary to implement their tasks. Therefore, the session will focus on the very up-to-date issue of the implementation of the elementary principle of self-government units’ independence in Poland – both from the perspective of national and international law, with particular emphasis on the regulations of the European Charter of Local Self-Government. The aim of the conference will be to assess the current status and identify prospects for adequate provision of self-government units.
