In order to speed up adjustment of maritime law to the requirements of present day commerce, especially with respect to technical issues, the International Maritime Organization has introduced a method of amending its conventions by way of a proposal drawn up and adopted by qualified majority voting at I MO institutions. The proposal is then forwarded to the states parties; if a state does not expressly reject the proposal within a fixed period, the amendment is considered to have been accepted by that state and becomes binding as an integral part of the convention. During a working session at Committee for Codification of Maritime Law there was a dispute with Government Legislation Centre regarding methods of introduction of tacit acceptance amendments into Polish law. The author recommends effecting a simplified scheme for introduction of such amendments into Polish legal system and proposes changes to the Maritime Code regarding relations between domestic and international rules of law.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Tacit acceptance amendment procedure: a few issues}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/114181/PDF/document%20-%202019-10-01T112854.517.pdf}, }
