Introduction

3. Actions taken to align NAPs with the UN Guiding Principles

The Polish NAP refers briefly to the Polish NHRI (original: Rzecznik Praw Obywatelskich, English: Commissioner for Human Rights) on page 7 where it lists the Commissioner among the institutions involved in the NAP development.

Pillar III. Access to remedies [page 37]:

A remedy may be sought in the courts (for both criminal and civil actions), labour tribunals, national human rights institutions, National Contact Points under the OECD’s Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, ombudsperson offices, and government-run complaints offices. In Poland, the Commissioner for Human Rights has the status of the national institution of human rights acting under the Paris Principles.
