nienaruszalno

Nienaruszalno is a Polish term describing the property of being inviolable or not to be violated. It is used to characterize rights, spaces, or principles that deserve protection from infringement.

The word builds on naruszać (to violate) with the negating prefix nie- and the adjective-forming suffix -alny, yielding nienaruszalny (inviolable). The adverbial form is usually nienaruszalnie; nienaruszalno appears mainly in formal or stylistic contexts and is less common.

In legal and constitutional discourse, the concept is expressed through references to the inviolability of fundamental rights, personal integrity, or territorial borders, such as nienaruszalność praw człowieka or nienaruszalność terytorium. These usages denote protections that authorities may not violate without due process or legitimate justification.

In philosophy and ethics, nienaruszalno is used to argue that certain rights or dignities possess inherent inviolability independent of laws or majority will, forming a basis for universal moral claims.

In everyday language, the term reinforces the idea that some aspects of life—privacy, personal space, or sacred commitments—should not be breached or undermined.
