Unilateral Acts in Polish-German Relations

Polish Yearbook of International Law 2009, t. 29, s. 85-113.

The paper is devoted in fact to two unilateral acts. The first of them is the statementof chancellor Schröder made in Warsaw on 1 August, 2004. The second is the state-ment of the Polish government on the waiver of payments of German reparationsmade on 23 August, 1953.The first statement is generally believed to be an act of legal importance. The elementthat attaches the utmost importance is the promise of the German government to presentbefore international courts the critical evaluation of individual claims of former owners ofland on the territories that came under the Polish sovereignty after the Second World War.The elements of that evaluation embrace the conclusions according to which: “there couldbe no room for the restitution claims from Germany”, such claims would “put the historyupside down”, “proprietary problems connected with the Second World War are no long-er a subject for the two governments” and “neither the federal government nor any seriouspolitical force in Germany support such claims if they are nevertheless put”. There couldbe no room for doubt as to the legal force of that statement. Its descriptive style orinclusion of elements upon which the government has only limited or no influence at all(the behavior of political parties or individuals) cannot change the binding force ofstatements relating to the German state as such. In fact the statement is not onlya promise. I contains also the elements of waiver and recognition (as to the fact that thereis no longer a subject of claims and that they would put the history upside down). Thewaiver results from the same sentences. It is limited to claims made on the state level only. The individual ones are not cancelled as such. If they are however made and notsatisfied there is no longer a possibility to put them on the level of states.The second act made in 1953 is also quite general. Although from the historicalperspective there could be no doubt regarding the interrelationship between that act andthe USSR-GDR agreement, the statement of the Polish government did not refer to thelatter expressly. The author analyses critically the arguments aimed at the justificationof the nullity of the act presented in the previous literature. In his opinion it would bevery difficult (if possible at all) to put into question the legal force of the act. Theauthor however is not prepared to accept the erection of the Chinese wall between thewaiver and other international acts giving rise to the obligations of the author. In thatcontext he refers to the rebus sic stantibus argument according to which the presenta-tion of claims on the side of Germany could justify the new evaluation of the resultsof the war for the Polish state and nation. That solution would not be happy for anyparty nor for the stability of law, but it could be perceived as an extreme solution forthe most extreme course of events.
