Summary/Abstract: The article reviews the newest monograph of professor D. Kochenov on the critical analysis of the institution of citizenship. The main argument of the book consists in the injustice reinforced globally by the institution of citizenship from the perspective of the rights of an individual. The review refers to the issues discussed in the monograph concerning citizenship as a legal relation between an individual and the state, civil rights and obligations in a critical perspective. The author of the review underlines the significance of critical depiction rarely found in the Polish literature. However, he indicates possible areas for polemics with the reviewed monograph, in particular from the perspective of consular law. Polemic notes do not undermine the significance of this work as an important voice in the analysis of international law from the perspective of the rights of an individual.
