The Warsaw Security Forum (WSF) 2025 once again confirmed its role as one of the most important platforms for dialogue on European and transatlantic security. This year’s edition brought together policymakers, experts, military leaders, and representatives of academia to debate urgent challenges such as Russia’s ongoing war of aggression against Ukraine, the dynamics of hybrid threats, the implications of digital transformation, and the role of law and governance in building resilient states.
She highlighted how the Forum serves as an inspiring hub of intellectual exchange—an environment where experts from different disciplines and countries collectively shape responses to contemporary crises. By situating legal discourse alongside military, technological, and political perspectives, she underscored the multidisciplinary character of modern security science.
A central theme that resonated strongly with Jakubek-Lalik’s reflections was the call for unity. President Volodymyr Zelensky’s quote—“Unity is our strongest weapon”—became a recurring reference point throughout the day’s sessions. For Jakubek-Lalik, these words linked Europe’s post-war integration project with today’s challenges, demonstrating continuity in the idea that unity is not only a defensive strategy but also a constructive one—capable of building peace, resilience, and shared prosperity.
She stressed that the history of European integration proves that solidarity among states can transform vulnerability into collective strength. In this sense, the Warsaw Security Forum once again positioned itself as a reminder that political unity, legal cooperation, and shared values are essential to resisting authoritarian threats and ensuring Europe’s secure future.
Jakubek-Lalik’s intervention added particular weight by linking law and security. While many discussions focused on military and hybrid threats, her perspective underlined that military strength alone cannot guarantee peace without legal resilience. She argued that administrative and constitutional law remain indispensable tools in defending democracy against both external aggression and internal erosion.
Her participation reinforced the Forum’s broader ambition: to treat European security as an integrated system of defense, governance, values, and cooperation. In this way, Jakubek-Lalik’s contribution bridged the gap between theoretical legal frameworks and the pragmatic demands of today’s geopolitical environment.
