What power fails to see will be seen by a young generation
As said Miłosz Kozikowski ( Marshal of the Young Parliament of the Polish Republic): "We are here to plan a fresh strategy of justice to address the regulation of law and to build together as a united social tissue of the Young Parliament something fresh that will work." Parliamentarians have called for improved legislative processes and a change in the hierarchy of legislation. There was besides a reflection on the social work of judges, lawyers and prosecutors who "presented political and private interest over the welfare of the state and citizens". There were besides references to the education system. The Marshal, Dominik Majcher, raised the subject of learning civic attitudes. Already at the phase of the alleged primary socialisation, Poles should learn about their rights and obligations, besides by simply informing citizens about the legal changes that concern them. Taking care that courts are friendly to citizens and ruling according to the letter of Polish and global law is besides a slogan that sounded during authoritative speeches.

Interesting ideas we could hear during the gathering – Centre for Alimentative Assistance
Young people presented their thought in consequence to the increasing problem of failure to pay maintenance. In Poland, the maintenance debt is almost PLN 40 billion! To this end, parliamentarians want to set up a peculiar institution to respect the provisions of the household and Care Code. This Centre is to service as an advisory and helper. But that's not all! Active support for kid support and education processes to advance citizens' awareness of their rights is only part of the remit of the fresh body. The resolution is designed to improve the functioning of the courts, but besides to aid affected families improve their material situation. Fighting for the welfare of the youngest and their appropriate intellectual and physical improvement is simply a notable subject.

About the sanction of the Polish judiciary
The resolution was designed to increase efforts to digitize the Polish judiciary and usage artificial intelligence to shorten court proceedings. Attention was besides drawn to the request to encourage citizens to service as jurors, which are lacking in many judicial institutions. On the basis of modern technologies utilized in another European Union countries, solutions are proposed specified as digitisation of procedural documents, case files, usage of SI to make protocols, or automatic preparation of justifications, subject to review by the judge.

On the Protection of Victims of Sexual force in Trials
Youth Parliament activists call for the wording of Article 197 of the Criminal Code to be amended, as well as for the provisions of the alleged Istanbul Convention (Convention to prevent and combat force against women and home violence) to be included in Polish law. All so that victims of sexual crimes can trust the Polish justice strategy and stand up for their rights. The resolution is simply a consequence to the rejection of rape cases by Polish courts. The limitation of contact between the victim and the suspect is intended to facilitate the process of collecting adequate evidence for a final judgment. In addition, Parliament calls for free intellectual assistance to be provided to those reporting cases concerning physical, sexual, intellectual and economical violence.
