  • Anti-Discrimination Education: We Shall Not Give Up! Advocacy in Times
    Anti-discrimination education: We shall not give up! Advocacy in times of rise of hateful rhetoric, shrinking civic space and erosion of democratic standards in Poland October 2019 1 Executive summary This report is addressed to civil society activists, decision makers in international institutions and funders interested in supporting advocacy for the anti-discrimination education in the context of shrinking civic space and political backlash. It presents key findings from the research conducted by The Anti-Discrimination Education Society (TEA) on the space for education-focused and rights- based advocacy after the right-wing conservative Law and Justice Party (PiS) took power in Poland in the general elections of 2015. Since that time, Poland has seen systematic and strategic efforts to undermine human rights and the rule of law, introduction of regressive laws and policy measures to reinforce traditional gender roles, scapegoating migrants, refugees and LGBTQI communities, and a rising tide of hate and discrimination. Consequently, the civic space for human rights activists and anti-discrimination educators has drastically shrunken and the rights they promote and uphold are under concerted attack. The Law and Justice Party’s rule has provoked a rise of a massive opposition in the streets, whilst civil society advocates have started exploring and/or developing new strategies and new approaches. For example: • Advocacy at a local level with local governments, which are in opposition to the Law and Justice Party and state their support

O EFEKTACH DZIAŁALNOŚCI WYWIADOWCZEJ BERLIŃSKIEJ PLACÓWKI „IN 3” ABSTRAKT: W 1918 r. Polska odzyskała niepodległość. Bezpieczeństwo Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej było jednak oparte na kruchych podstawach. Wynikało to z dużego zagrożenia ze strony wschodniego i zachodniego sąsiada. Niemcy i Rosja nie pogodziły się z ustaleniami traktatu wersalskiego, dążyły do jego rewizji i wojny z Polską. Współpraca wojskowa obu groźnych sąsiadów była wymierzona przeciwko Polsce. Rozpoznanie wywiadowcze dotyczące rozbudowy potencjału militarnego oraz zamiarów obu przeciwników miało wyjątkowe znaczenie. Rotmistrz, a później major Jerzy Sosnowski w latach 1926–1934 kierował berlińską placówką wywiadowczą oznaczoną kryptonimem „In 3”. Przekazywał on do centrali Oddziału II SG wiele cennych informacji dotyczących rozwoju niemieckich sił zbrojnych, współpracy Reichswehry z Armią Czerwoną oraz przygotowań do wojny. Kierownictwo polskiego wywiadu otrzymywało podobne wiadomości z innych źródeł. Wiele z nich przyjmowano z niedowierzaniem i nie wykorzystano we właściwy sposób. SŁOWA KLUCZOWE: bezpieczeństwo Polski, zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa, Rosja, Niemcy, wywiad, współpraca wojskowa, Reichswehra, Armia Czerwona THE ROLE OF THE SECRET SERVICES IN RECOGNIZING THREATS TO POLAND’S SECURITY. ABOUT THE EFFECTS OF INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES OF THE BERLIN FACILITY "IN 3" ABSTRACT: In 1918 Poland regained its independence. However, the security of the Second Polish Republic was based on fragile foundations. This resulted from a high threat from the eastern and western neighbours. Germany and Russia did not accept the provisions of the Versailles Treaty, they sought to revise it and war with Poland.
