Given the whole spectrum of doubts and controversies that arise in discussions about laws affecting historical memory (and their subcategory of memory laws), the question of assessing them in the context of international standards of human rights protection – and in particular the European system of human rights protection – is often overlooked. Thus this article focuses on the implications and conditions for introducing memory laws in light of international human rights standards using selected examples of various types of recently-adopted Polish memory laws as case studies. The authors begin with a brief description of the phenomenon of memory laws and the most signifcant threats that they pose to the protection of international human rights standards. The following sections analyse selected Polish laws affecting historical memory vis-à-vis these standards. The analysis covers non-binding declaratory laws affecting historical memory, and acts that include criminal law sanctions. The article attempts to sketch the circumstances linking laws affecting historical memory with the human rights protection standards, including those entailed both in binding treaties and other instruments of international law.

The prohibition on enforced disappearances is one of the fundamental norms of con-temporary international law which is intended to protect the individual from state re-pression. Under certain circumstances, a violation of the prohibition is recognized as a crime of international law. There are no exceptions to the implementation of the norm. Since the prohibition is a treaty, States must expressly agree to be bound by it. Not all States have done this, but some have, including Argentina. Despite this, Roberto Agustín Yrusta disappeared. His enforced disappearance was preceded by numerous and elaborate forms of evil, cruel and humiliating treatment. This paper seeks to answer the question of how international law can ensure effective enforcement of the prohibition on enforced disappearance.

Too often, the right to healthcare has been considered an illusory right that is not even a legal right, but merely an aspirational norm that cannot be adjudicated before the court. In modern human rights law, considering individual and social rights as interdependent and indivisible, such an approach is untenable. Both legal doctrine and recent case law from domestic and international courts have elaborated and confirmed the specific obligations under the right to healthcare, countering the general complaint of “shrouded vagueness”. Landmark cases have even provided a functional remedy to enforce individual healthcare claims successfully. This paper will examine the revised legal status and content of such a right to healthcare from a European perspective.

The aim of the study it to reconstruct the European standard for the protection of patients’ lives in its substantive and procedural aspects. In the case-law of the bodies of the system of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the scope of the state authorities’ substantive and procedural obligation to protect the right to life in the health care system was defined for the first time by the European Commission of Human Rights in the decision of 22 May 1995 in Mehmet Işıltan v. Turkey, and then repeated in the case-law of the reformed Court in the decision on the admissibility in Powell v. United Kingdom. The study of the European standard for the protection of patients’ lives traces its history, from Mehmet Işıltan v. Turkey and Powell v. United Kingdom; through developments of the meaning of its substantive limb, as illustrated by Mehmet and Bekir Senturk v. Turkey, Asiye Genc v. Turkey, Aydogdu v. Turkey, and Elena Cojocaru v. Romania; to developments of the meaning of its procedural limb, as exemplified by Calvelli and Ciglio v. Italy, Wojciech Byrzykowski v. Poland, Šilih v. Slovenia, and Gray v. Germany; and finally covers the Court’s attempt to sum up its previous approach to the European standard for the protection of patients’ lives, as expressed in the case of Lopes de Sousa Fernandes v. Portugal.

Environmental degradation is not distributed equally among various groups of people. There is a vast amount of social studies, scientific reports and current legal cases which reveal the disproportionate burden placed on certain populations by the pollution of the natural environment. This paper is based on the idea that equal wellbeing of each individual is better protected when their status as collectivities is taken into account with regard to environmental issues. In this respect, the paper attempts to explore how the principle of equality and non-discrimination, Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights, helps defending rights of collectivities through an individual rights-based legal institution, namely European Court of Human Rights.

Zdrowie i choroba psychiczna stanowią nadal tajemnicę. Medycyna w wielu przypadkach potrafi wskazać przyczynę pojawienia się zaburzenia, a lekarze udzielić wsparcia pacjentowi doświadczającemu kryzysu psychicznego. W wielu jednak przypadkach podobne schorzenia nie mogą być w pełni wyjaśnione przez specjalistów. Nadal bowiem nie znamy niepodważalnego źródła występowania np. schizofrenii. Nie wiemy również, dlaczego u jednych pacjentów chorujących na nią leki działają, a u innych nie widać pozytywnego efektu. Obserwując z perspektywy społecznej zjawisko, jakim jest choroba psychiczna, można jednak z całą pewnością stwierdzić, iż dotyka ona nie tylko samego pacjenta, ale również bliskie mu osoby, jego rodzinę. Problemy natury psychicznej wymagają zaangażowania osób bliskich, a także edukacji dotyczącej psychopatologii. Czasem rodzina postawiona zostaje przed szczególnie trudnym dylematem. Niepokojący stan pacjenta, zachowania agresywne, występowanie halucynacji powoduje, iż może stać się on niebezpieczny dla siebie lub innych osób. W sytuacji tej bardzo często konieczne jest podjęcie działań przymusowych wobec osoby chorej. Osoba ta twierdzi bowiem, że jest zdrowa. Czasem konieczne jest użycie przez personel siły oraz przymusowe umieszczenie pacjenta w szpitalu psychiatrycznym. Czy w sytuacji tej rodzina osoby chorej brana jest pod uwagę? Czy posiada ona w tym kontekście określone obowiązki? Być może bliscy mają konkretne uprawnienia, pozwalające na udzielenie pomocy? Czy polskie prawo dostrzega w tego typu zdarzeniach rodzinę osoby chorej? Na pytania te podjęta zostanie próba udzielenia odpowiedzi.

Health and mental illness remain a mystery. Medicine can in many cases indicate the cause of apparition of the dysfunction. Doctors can provide support to a patient experiencing a mental crisis. In many cases, similar afflictions can't be wholly explained by specialists. We still don't know an indisputable source of the occurrence of schizophrenia. We also don’t know why some patients get better when they take the drugs and why others patients don’t see a positive effect. However, observing from a social perspective the phenomenon of mental illness, we can certainly affirm that it affects not only the patient but also the person close to him or her family. Psychological problems require the involvement of loved ones. They also require education concerning psychopathology. Sometimes, a situation set the family up in particularly difficult dilemma. Disturbing patient condition, aggressive behavior, hallucination cause that a patient can become dangerous for yourself or others. In this situation, it's very often necessary to take obligatory actions against an ill person. This person claims to be healthy. Sometimes it’s necessary to use a force by personnel and to place the patient in a psychiatric hospital. In this situation, the family of the ill person is taken into consideration? Does a familly hold specific responsibilities in this context? Perhaps the loved ones have specific rights to help? Does Polish law perceive in this type of events the family of the ill person? This text is an attempt to answer these questions.

The topic of this article is the problem of no legal regulations regarding the status of environmental migrants and its implications. Neither does International law permit them to take advantage of legal protection granted to refugees, nor are their interests represented in any international document. The article presents the analysis of the works of United Nations, expert group and international organisations, which resulted in introducing the notions of migrants and people in vulnerable situations to the Preamble of, adopted at the climate conference in 2015, Paris Agreement, stressing the importance of promoting and respecting their rights. Moreover, it has been decided to create a special task force within the Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage, which aim is to draft recommendations on how to minimise the impact of climate change on migration. The article then proceeds to analyse the effectiveness of the actions undertaken by the task force as well as by other key actors, such as other UN departments, International Organisation for Migration or world leaders at G20 summits. The final part presents the assessment of said actions, indicating why they are insufficient and the model of preventing and reducing economical damage unsatisfactory.

Tematem artykułu jest problem braku prawnego uregulowania statusu migrantów klimatycznych i tego konsekwencje. Prawo międzynarodowe nie przyznaje im ochrony przeznaczonej dla uchodźców, a ich prawa nie są reprezentowane w żadnym międzynarodowym dokumencie. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie prac Organizacji Narodów Zjednoczonych, grup eksperckich oraz organizacji międzynarodowych. Ich owocem było wprowadzenie pojęcia migrantów i osób w trudnej sytuacji do preambuły przyjętego na konferencji klimatycznej w 2015 r. porozumienia paryskiego. Zwrócono przy tym uwagę na konieczność promowania i respektowania ich praw. Ponadto, w porozumieniu zdecydowano o utworzeniu specjalnej grupy zadaniowej w ramach Warszawskiego Międzynarodowego Mechanizmu Strat i Szkód, której celem było opracowanie sposobów ograniczenia wpływu zmian klimatycznych na migracje. W dalszej części omówiono skuteczność działań tej grupy, struktur ONZ, jak również innych kluczowych podmiotów, tj. Międzynarodowej Organizacji ds. Migracji czy liderów na szczycie G20. W części końcowej przedstawiono ocenę tych działań, wykazując, dlaczego są one niewystarczające, a przyjęty model zapobiegania i redukowania szkód i strat gospodarczych zbyt wąski.
