Summary/Abstract: Legal acts and the most important documents in force in the Republic of Poland contain a multitude of wording of terms such as: war, state of war or time of war. The lack of legally binding definitions and the inconsistency of the use of similar (but not the same) definitions leads to different, often mutually exclusive interpretations of given situations, which may have different legal consequences.Only precise and strict defining of the above concepts by adopting their legal definitions would dispel many doubts and close the way to sometimes mutually exclusive interpretations. This is particularly important in terms of concepts and issues related to security and defense. Therefore, the author will present definitions and regulations resulting from Polish legal acts, referring to war, time of war and the state of war.
