  • Prawa Człowieka a Policja
    Prawa człowieka a policja I. Wprowadzenie 1. Policja jest organem ochrony porzdku prawnego najbardziej widocznym w yciu społeczestwa. Zadaniem policji jest bowiem bezporednia, codzienna ochrona prawa, porzdku i bezpieczestwa publicznego. Kontakt jednostki z policjantem to najczciej wystpujce bezporednie zetknicie si z reprezentujcym władz pastwow funkcjonariuszem publicznym. Prawo, szanowane w praktyce przez funkcjonariuszy pastwa prawa, słuy nie tylko obywatelom, lecz take władzy i tyme funkcjonariuszom. Policjant jest wic (a przynajmniej powinien by) sług prawa, czsto bdc jednoczenie jego pierwszym interpretatorem, który decyduje o tym, czy prawo zostało naruszone, i o sposobie ochrony naruszonego porzdku 1. 2. Oznak przemian, jakie nastpiły w Polsce w ostatnich latach, jest m. in. wykazywana w sondaach opinii publicznej wysoka aprobata dla policji w Polsce po 1989 roku 2. Przyczyniły si do tego zmiany prawne okrelajce granice władzy, a take uwzgldnienie w tzw. ustawach policyjnych i przepisach wykonawczych regulujcych funkcjonowanie policji, podstawowych midzynarodowych standardów, okrelajcych postpowanie policji. Podstawowy kanon owych standardów obejmuje m. in.: zasady uycia siły oraz broni palnej, zakaz stosowania tortur oraz innego okrutnego, nieludzkiego lub poniajcego traktowania albo karania, postpowanie w stosunku do osób zatrzymanych, tymczasowo aresztowanych lub uwizionych, przestrzeganie prawa do prywatnoci oraz prawo do pokojowego zgromadzania si. II. Polskie prawo policyjne a wybrane standardy praw człowieka 1. Prawo policyjne to system norm okrelajcych oraz regulujcych struktur, ustrój i działalno organów zajmujcych si ochron bezpieczestwa i porzdku publicznego, a w szczególnoci prawa i obowizki tych organów, w tym zakres i sposób podejmowanych przez nie działa 3. Obowizujce w Polsce prawo policyjne jest efektem przemian ostatnich lat. W duym popiechu, wymuszonym społecznymi zmianami, ustawodawca starał si zmniejszy dystans dzielcy polskie unormowania od standardów pastw prawnych.

  • THE POLISH POLICE Collaboration in the Holocaust
    THE POLISH POLICE Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski The Polish Police Collaboration in the Holocaust Jan Grabowski INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE NOVEMBER 17, 2016 The assertions, opinions, and conclusions in this occasional paper are those of the author. They do not necessarily reflect those of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. First printing, April 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Jan Grabowski THE INA LEVINE ANNUAL LECTURE, endowed by the William S. and Ina Levine Foundation of Phoenix, Arizona, enables the Center to bring a distinguished scholar to the Museum each year to conduct innovative research on the Holocaust and to disseminate this work to the American public. Wrong Memory Codes? The Polish “Blue” Police and Collaboration in the Holocaust In 2016, seventy-one years after the end of World War II, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs disseminated a long list of “wrong memory codes” (błędne kody pamięci), or expressions that “falsify the role of Poland during World War II” and that are to be reported to the nearest Polish diplomat for further action. Sadly—and not by chance—the list elaborated by the enterprising humanists at the Polish Foreign Ministry includes for the most part expressions linked to the Holocaust. On the long list of these “wrong memory codes,” which they aspire to expunge from historical narrative, one finds, among others: “Polish genocide,” “Polish war crimes,” “Polish mass murders,” “Polish internment camps,” “Polish work camps,” and—most important for the purposes of this text—“Polish participation in the Holocaust.” The issue of “wrong memory codes” will from time to time reappear in this study.

    RÍKISLÖGREGLUSTJÓRINN ALMANNAVARNADEILD Applies to: Media, Department of Civil Protection and Emergency, Management, administration and Chief Epidemiologist STATUS REPORT Date: 06.03.2020 Time: 17:30 Location: Coordination center /Directorate of Health /Chief Epidemiologist Emergency/Distress Phase: COVID-19 Event description Today 6 individuals have been diagnosed with COVID-19. The pathway of infection is being traced. 43 cases have been confirmed in Iceland of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. All are in isolation. The first cases of community transmission within Iceland were diagnosed today. All are in relatively good health. They were infected after being exposed to persons coming from Italy and Austria. As a result, The National Commissioner of the Icelandic Police and Chief Epidemiologist has raised the alert level of the response to the COVID-19 virus outbreak. This emergency activation has no significant impact on the public beyond those measures that have been taken already. However, it allows for response agencies and critical service providers to increase their preparedness activities (aprox. 150-200 institutions). For the time being, no travel restrictions are in force. There is no ban on mass gatherings. Such a ban would have a great impact on society and is therefore not activated as a result. The Chief Epidemiologist and his staff are paying special attention to vulnerable groups, particularly the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions. This group should take special care and avoid crowed places and events. Health care institutions and the organization of welfare companies are increasing their defenses and readiness. deCode genetics (Íslensk erfðagreining) has offered to do screenings for the COVID-19 in Icelandic society to check its pathways.

As can be expected, the federative organisation of such states as Germany, Switzerland, the USA, India and Russia will be reflected in their police organisation, though the extremely decentralised approach of Switzerland with hardly any central man- agement structures can hardly serve as a paradigm of ‘the’ federal police organisation.

The population is not evenly distributed and about 180,000 persons reside in Reykjavík, the capital, and the neighbouring communities. An evening view from the Barðaströnd coast in Western Iceland. Icelanders are of Scandinavian, Irish and Scottish origin. The first people known to have visited Iceland were Irish monks or hermits, but they left with the arrival of the pagan Norsemen who settled in Iceland in the period 870-930 AD. The Icelandic language dates back to Ancient Norse. Executive power lies with the President of the Republic and the Government.

  • UN POLICE and CONFLICT PREVENTION Marina Caparini*
    SIPRI Discussion Paper June 2018 UN POLICE AND CONFLICT PREVENTION marina caparini* This paper connects the sustaining peace agenda with police in UN peace operations. It describes the three categories of conflict prevention implemented in peace operations, with a particular focus on the contribution of the police component of peace operations to conflict prevention. It suggests that the UN Police (UNPOL) play a critical role in conflict prevention through: (a) direct operational actions aimed at mediating and defusing tensions and deterring violence; (b) structural prevention linked to capacity-building activities of mentoring, training and advising host state police, as well as supporting the development of more effective, accountable and legitimate law enforcement institutions; and (c) systemic prevention through support for international and regional norms and mechanisms to combat transnational organized crime, illicit arms flows and human trafficking. The paper also makes recommendations on how the police role in conflict prevention could be further developed. I. Conflict prevention is more important than ever Since 2010, there has been a resurgence in violent conflict across the world and a marked increase in the number of armed conflicts.1 Conflicts have also become more complex, fragmented and protracted. By the end of 2016, over 65 million people had been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence, repression or disaster—the highest level recorded since World War II. 2 Violent conflict destroys lives, ruptures societies, damages institutions and infrastructure and, as is now well known, sets back development by decades.3 At the same time, we are witnessing a reinvigorated worldwide attempt to tackle poverty, exclusion, injustice and conflict through the commitment of the world’s states to meeting the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

  • Criminal Background Check Procedures
    Shaping the future of international education New Edition Criminal Background Check Procedures CIS in collaboration with other agencies has formed an International Task Force on Child Protection chaired by CIS Executive Director, Jane Larsson, in order to apply our collective resources, expertise, and partnerships to help international school communities address child protection challenges. Member Organisations of the Task Force: • Council of International Schools • Council of British International Schools • Academy of International School Heads • U.S. Department of State, Office of Overseas Schools • Association for the Advancement of International Education • International Schools Services • ECIS CIS is the leader in requiring police background check documentation for Educator and Leadership Candidates as part of the overall effort to ensure effective screening. Please obtain a current police background check from your current country of employment/residence as well as appropriate documentation from any previous country/countries in which you have worked. It is ultimately a school’s responsibility to ensure that they have appropriate police background documentation for their Educators and CIS is committed to supporting them in this endeavour. It is important to demonstrate a willingness and effort to meet the requirement and obtain all of the paperwork that is realistically possible. This document is the result of extensive research into governmental, law enforcement and embassy websites. We have tried to ensure where possible that the information has been obtained from official channels and to provide links to these sources. CIS requests your help in maintaining an accurate and useful resource; if you find any information to be incorrect or out of date, please contact us at: [email protected].
