The aim of this article is to present the European Committee of Social Rights as a moni-toring treaty body in the system of the European Social Charter. The author pays par-ticular attention to the mechanism of collective complaints, which was introduced to the Charter’s supervisory system on the basis of the 1995 Additional Protocol. In the author’s opinion, on the basis of the competence of the European Committee of Social Rights to hear collective complaints, it is arguable that this important treaty body in the system of the European Social Charter performs the function of a quasi-judicial organ in the monitoring process, which distinguishes it from other treaty bodies in the field of the international protection of human rights

The scale of immigration problems in Europe today is well-known and broadly dis-cussed. The article identifies how this issue is reflected in two Human Rights Council mechanisms: Special Procedures and the Universal Periodic Review. The Special Rap-porteur on the human rights of migrants, François Crépeau, undertook a regional study on the management of the external borders of the European Union and its impact on the human rights of migrants. The analysis of the annual and country visits’ reports allows the main immigration problems facing the EU countries and threats for the protection of human rights to be identified. The recommendations made by the Special Rapporteur are confronted with those taken up in the UPR process. Special attention is given to the EU countries’ position on the problem of immigrants. Their reluctance to raise this issue in the UPR weakens the credibility of EU Member States and puts the objectivity of the mechanism into question.

One of the agreements belonging to the United Nations Treaty on human rights is the Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted on November 20, 1989. It is a fundamental document of the international protection of the rights of the child. On this basis, an organ was created to ensure the observance of the right in the Convention – the Committee on the Rights of the Child. In the later years three Optional Protocols were adopted. The first two concern substantive law – the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict and the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the sale of child prostitution and child pornography of 25 May 2010. The Third Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on a communications procedure of 19 December 2011 introduces the reform of the Committee on the Rights of the Child through the procedure of individual and interstate notifications. This article focuses on the analysis of the changes and attempts to assess their practical application.

Jedną z umów należących do traktatowego systemu ochrony praw człowieka Narodów Zjednoczonych jest Konwencja o prawach dziecka przyjęta w dniu 20 listopada 1989 r. Stanowi ona główny dokument międzynarodowej ochrony praw dziecka. Na jej podstawie powstał organ mający na celu zapewnienie przestrzegania praw zawartych w Konwencji – Komitet Praw Dziecka. W późniejszych latach do Konwencji przyjęto trzy protokoły fakultatywne. Dwa pierwsze dotyczą prawa materialnego – Protokół fakultatywny do Konwencji o prawach dziecka w sprawie angażowania dzieci w konflikt zbrojny oraz Protokół fakultatywny do Konwencji o prawach dziecka w sprawie handlu dziećmi, dziecięcej prostytucji i dziecięcej pornografii (oba z dnia 25 maja 2010 r.). Trzeci Protokół fakultatywny do Konwencji o prawach dziecka w sprawie procedury składania zawiadomień z dnia 19 grudnia 2011 r. wprowadza reformę Komitetu Praw Dziecka przez procedurę indywidualnych i międzypaństwowych zawiadomień. Treść niniejszego opracowania dotyczy analizy wprowadzonych zmian i stanowi próbę oceny ich praktycznego zastosowania.

The UN Special Rapporteurs are independent experts holding mandates of special procedures established by the Human Rights Council. One of their main methods of work is conducting country visits, at the invitation of States. The article aims at assessing country visits as the way of monitoring the human rights situation at the national level. It provides an overview of the last visits in Poland, including the visit of the Special Rapporteur on independence of judges and lawyers in October 2017, focusing on the recommendations issued by Special Rapporteurs in their reports presented to the Human Rights Council and the reaction of Polish Government to the Rapporteur's findings. The Special Rapporteurs' independence and expertise turns country visits reports into a valuable source of information on the situation of human rights that can be used, inter alia, by National Human Rights Institutions and non-governmental organizations. However, the impact of the visit depend mostly on the State's will to implement the Special Rapporteurs' recommendations.
