Concluding observations of the UN human rights treaty bodies in the field of equality and non-discriminations : does a common standards exist and is it implemented? : example of Poland

Polish Review of International and European Law 2019, t. 8, nr 1, s. 65-88.

This article examines the recommendations adopted by UN human rights treaty bodies in 2000-2017 addressed to Poland and concerning equality and non-discrimination. It aims to answer two research questions – firstly, to what extent are the recommendations convergent and, therefore, can we speak of a certain common standard of equality and non-discrimination formulated by treaty bodies? For this purpose, two case studies – on LGBT rights and women’s reproductive rights – have been presented. The second part of the research aims to establish to what extent do the recommendations of treaty bodies on equality and non-discrimination affect Polish law.

Violence against women Policy impact and FRA’s evidence-based research

Współautorstwo: Wieruszewski, Roman

Human Rights Law and Evidence-Based Policy : The Impact of the EU Fundamental Rights Agency / R. Byrne, H. Entzinger (eds.) – London: Routledge, 2019, s. 165-178.

This chapter analyzes the EU-wide survey on violence against women published by FRA in March 2014. The authors aim at providing an answer to the question of how the survey is being used by other international mechanisms and institutions, and how it can contribute to effectively combating violence against women, both at the international and the national levels. Since the chapter is written from the perspective of human rights lawyers, and not that of sociologists or statisticians, it focusses on the study’s relevance for the international human rights law implementation machinery, rather than on its research methodology. At the same time, we point to the groundbreaking nature of the survey, since for the first time the extent, nature and consequences of violence against women across the EU have been documented. Our analysis also addresses the future. We attempt to answer the question of what FRA’s future contribution could be to successfully combating violence against women.
