Combating infectious diseases during a state of epidemic and state of natural disaster and the realization of the freedom of conscience and religion in the light of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of April 2, 1997 and the legislation

Summary/Abstract: The article concerns the problem of realization of the freedom of conscience and religion during a state of epidemic and state of natural disaster. The aim of this study is to assess the existing statutory solutions from the point of view of the political model of protection of the freedom of conscience and religion. The article presents general characteristics of the legal regime of a state of epidemic and state of natural disaster together with an analysis and evaluation of the statutory prerequisites for the introduction of these states. Particular attention is given to the problem of the convergence of the constitutional rights and freedoms, when the realization of the freedom of conscience and religion requires other human rights which may be restricted during a state of epidemic and state of natural disaster. The analysis was performed using the dogmatic-legal method. The evaluation of the legal regulations also concerns the issues connected with the choice of the appropriate legal method. The analysis points to the conclusion that the protection of the freedom of conscience and religion during states of epidemic and natural disaster is not ensured to a sufficient extent under current legislation. The author proposes certain legislative changes to raise the level of protection of the freedom of conscience and religion in ordinary legislation.
