Dehumanisation of public administration

Paweł Porębny

Language: EN | Published: 25-04-2025 | Abstract | pp. 30-31

The article shows the consequences of rapid technological development in the public administration sector, focusing on the process of its dehumanisation. The author draws attention to the increasing automation of public services, which, although increasing efficiency and accessibility, can lead to social exclusion, privacy violations, and the loss of human relationships. He presents examples of countries where surveillance technologies are widely used and humans become merely elements of the system – often redundant and prone to marginalisation. The author asks whether the development of digital administration poses a threat to fundamental democratic values and whether the law, deprived of its human element, can still effectively protect citizens in the digital age.

Thunderbolt of Anger

Poland’s abortion law is among the most restrictive in Europe. The decision to tighten it up led to the largest protests since the fall of communism in 1989. To offer a fair explanation of the so-called Women’s Strike, we first need to look back at how the abortion law in Poland changed over the years.

LAW AND INTERNATIONAL CRIMES

Tomasz Płosa , Dominika Iwan-Sojka

Language: EN | Published: 08-11-2022 | Abstract | pp. 14-15

Everything that has been happening in Ukraine since 24 February 2022 fills us with horror, compassion, and moral objection. There is no doubt that Putin, his closest associates, the commanders of the Russian army, and its regular soldiers are responsible for the evil that is taking place in our neighbour’s territory. The tragedy of the Ukrainian people demands justice and just punishment for the culprits. However, let us try to disconnect emotionally and analyse the current situation in Ukraine in the context of international law.

Code of (mis)communication. Is there still room for dialogue in the age of algorithms?

Miłosz Barłóg

Language: EN | Published: 20-04-2026 | Abstract | pp. 26-27

Today, workplace monitoring is nothing like a supervisor looking over our shoulder or a CCTV camera in the office. Increasingly often, it takes the form of algorithms and artificial intelligence systems that analyse efficiency, organise tasks, prepare schedules, and identify risks. Algorithmic surveillance is silent, dispersed, and often not very transparent. This poses a challenge for communication. Good communication begins with understanding the problem, translating into human language the instances as to where an algorithm acts in the process, what it measures, how the result is used, with whom it can be discussed, and how it can be appealed.

Women and Labour Law

Urszula Torbus , Tomasz Płosa

Language: EN | Published: 14-04-2023 | Abstract | pp. 22-23

When we think about how the Labour Code protects women, the first thing that comes to mind is the provisions related to maternity, i.e. the possibility to take maternity, parental, or childcare leave. And indeed, Polish legislation protects mothers to a very high degree. In addition, the code precisely specifies which jobs women absolutely cannot perform. Of course, there is also a provision in the Code on the need for equal treatment by employers irrespective of a range of characteristics, including gender, but this is a more complicated issue.
