“The Warsaw Confederation, concluded by the Convocation Sejm and dated 28 January 1573, guaranteed religious peace and civil equality for non-Catholic nobles; it was added to UNESCO's Memory of the World register in 2003, but it had no enforcement mechanism, and its provisions bound only the nobility, not peasants or townspeople.”
