| Summary: | The article discusses the question of the Svalbard Treaty and the Polish participation in this international agreement. The treaty that was signed in 1920 did not take into account numerous new challenges which are faced by the modern world, both as far as the practical and the legal aspects are concerned. Poland became a signatory of the Svalbard Treaty in 1931. The activity of our country on this archipelago is reduced exclusively to the research aspects, which are served by the Polish research base in Hornsund. However, there were no other forms of engagement, such as mining. There could also be greater opportunities for the development of such forms of activity as tourism. Przedmiotem artykułu jest kwestia traktatu svalbardzkiego i polskiego udziału w tej międzynarodowej umowie. Podpisany w 1920 r. traktat nie przewidywał wielu nowych wyzwań, z którymi boryka się współczesny świat zarówno od strony praktycznej, jak i prawnej. Polska stała sygnatariuszem traktatu Ssvalbardzkiego w 1931. Aktywność naszego kraju sprowadza się na tym archipelagu wyłącznie do aspektu badawczego, czemu służy polska baza naukowa w Hornsundzie. Brak natomiast innych form zaangażowania, takich jak np. górnictwo. Możliwy byłby też większy rozwój takich form działalności jak turystyka. |
