The aim of the report is to examine the existing legal framework and normative content of academic freedom as a human right and freedom of expression as part of the right to receive and provide quality education at all levels of education.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The Institute's experts took part in the drafting of the report and provided an opinion. It pointed out that the way in which academic freedom and the right to education are realized, are protected in Poland through constitutional provisions, including in particular Article 73 of the Polish Constitution, as well as statutory regulations, in the form of the 2018 Law on Higher Education and Science, which concretizes these rights. Academic freedom in Poland is the right to freedom of teaching, research, expression and artistic creativity in an academic environment. This right includes the freedom to express one's beliefs and opinions, to disseminate them in any form, and to obtain, receive and impart information. Restrictions on constitutional rights and freedoms, on the other hand, can be established only by law and only if they are necessary in a democratic state, based on the grounds set forth in Article 31(3) of the Constitution.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The experts noted that these freedoms are universal in nature, and the exercise of these freedoms is not limited only to Polish citizens. The subject of these freedoms is everyone, thus both Polish citizens and foreigners.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The law governing higher education in Poland already indicates in the preamble that creating optimal conditions for freedom of scientific research and artistic creativity, freedom of teaching and academic autonomy is the duty of public authority. In turn, by way of the 2021 amendment, amendments strengthening the protection of the freedom to present views and results of scientific research came into force. In the added Article 275(1a) of the Law on Higher Education and Science, it was explicitly indicated that it does not constitute a disciplinary offense to express religious, philosophical or worldview beliefs.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Later in the opinion, the Institute's experts point out that in Poland, the autonomy and self-governance of educational institutions are also guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. Article 70 of the Constitution guarantees the principle of the autonomy of higher education institutions, which is concretized by law.  This principle is manifested, among other things, in the fact that they can independently develop curricula, conduct scientific and artistic research, and shape their organizational structure.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">- It should be said that in Poland, freedom of speech in educational institutions and freedom of expression in teaching are very broadly understood. It is worth noting that in the SK 30/10 judgment, the Constitutional Court noted the strong connection between the right to freedom of teaching and the right to education, indicating that: "freedom of teaching as one of the constitutional guarantees includes, in turn, the freedom to systematically transmit knowledge to others." In addition, in the commentary to Article 73 of the Polish Constitution, edited by Prof. Garlicki, the authors point out that scientific theories can turn out to be false over time, which should not exclude them from the protection of this article. Often these issues are not obvious, as there is also room for deliberate manipulation of facts. Ultimately, the authors point out, the main role should be played by scientific bodies rather than public authorities." - emphasizes Julia Ksiazek of the Ordo Iuris Center for International Law.</p> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--body--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-kategoria.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-kategoria.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> Kategoria } <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-zdjecie.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-zdjecie.html.twig * field--image.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_formatter' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * image-formatter--node--aktualnosc--field-zdjecie.html.twig x image-formatter.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_style' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-style.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image.html.twig' --> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/artykul_full/public/2024-02/AdobeStock_257957171.jpeg?itok=4Aq6G-QH" width="250" height="125" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" /> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-style.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-zrodlo-zdjecia--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-zrodlo-zdjecia.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-zrodlo-zdjecia.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div>Adobe Stock</div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-tagi--aktualnosc.html.twig x field--node--field-tagi.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-tagi.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/page_node/field--node--field-tagi.html.twig' --> <hr> <ul class="tags_list"> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/education-0" hreflang="pl">education</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/academic-freedom" hreflang="pl">academic freedom</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/constitution" hreflang="pl">constitution</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/university" hreflang="pl">university</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/united-nations" hreflang="pl">United nations</a></li> </ul> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/page_node/field--node--field-tagi.html.twig' --> Mon, 22 Jan 2024 15:45:52 +0000 filip.bator 1489 at https://en.ordoiuris.pl Protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity in relation to the human rights to freedom of expression, association and assembly.

The theme of the report is "Protection against violence and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in relation to the human right to freedom of expression, association and assembly." To this end, the expert is seeking information on legal regulations on the protection of people from violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and "gender identity" in UN member countries. The report will form the basis of the Council's work on the issue, which includes developing new guidelines and monitoring progress in complying with SOGI.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The report thus essentially has two objectives. First, to examine laws, practices and policies that, as the author points out, unlawfully restrict, explicitly or implicitly, freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly based on sexual orientation or gender identity. On the other hand, the report will make recommendations to States and other stakeholders to ensure that their laws and policies are consistent with their obligations under international law.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In the submitted opinion, the Institute's experts pointed out that Polish legislation broadly protects against violence and discrimination, and implies equality before the law, which guarantees extend to everyone, regardless of their individual characteristics. They also pointed out that while the rights to freedom of assembly, association or freedom of speech enjoy broad freedom, the Polish legislature has also provided for control mechanisms when they are exercised in a manner inconsistent with their purpose.</p> <p>In Poland, restrictions on freedom of assembly are regulated in the Law on Assemblies. This law specifies what types of assemblies are covered by the restrictions, what are the prerequisites for restricting freedom of assembly and what are the means by which freedom of assembly can be restricted. Thus, the Institute's experts pointed out that there are no grounds for claiming that the right to freedom of assembly in Poland can be exercised in a way that would violate the rights of SOGI or any rights of others. If violations of the law occur at any stage of an assembly, it can be dissolved.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The Institute's experts pointed out that freedom of association is one of the fundamental human rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. Freedom of association may also be restricted in certain cases, but only as provided by law and to the extent necessary to protect public order, public safety, public health or public morals. Restrictions on freedom of association may be imposed by law, but must be consistent with the Constitution and international law. A law introducing restrictions on freedom of association must specify what types of associations are covered by the restrictions, the grounds for restricting freedom of association, and the means by which freedom of association may be restricted. Thus, this right should be considered particularly important also because its restriction has restrictive premises.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Likewise, the constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of expression and the acquisition and dissemination of information. The experts noted that the Constitutional Court, in interpreting Article 54 of the Constitution, pointed out that the word "view" used in its content, in accordance with the position taken in the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court and the doctrine, should be interpreted as broadly as possible, not only as the expression of personal judgments about facts, but also suppositions and opinions.In the Court's view, Article 54(1) of the Constitution protects all lawful forms of expression that allow an individual to externalize and expose his or her own position, and living in a society in which freedom of speech is protected teaches tolerance for views different from one's own, which is essential for the normal functioning of a pluralistic society.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In the opinion, the institute stressed that human rights are subject to gradation, a point already made by John Locke in his 1690 work "Two Treatises on Government." Locke argued that there are certain rights that are inalienable and not subject to limitation, such as the right to life, liberty and property. The division of rights into absolute rights and relative rights was later adopted by other philosophers and jurists, such as Immanuel Kant, John Stuart Mill and Hans Kelsen.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In conclusion, the opinion noted that the term "gender identity" itself does not appear in any binding human rights act, and to the extent that it is interpreted in isolation from biological sex, it is an ideological term to which human rights should not yield.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">"Poland has broad regulations on protection against discrimination that apply to all individuals. In the context of an interpretation that expands the catalog of human rights, which some people apply in a legally unjustified manner, often guided by emotions, instead of relevant and legally binding acts of international law, one cannot agree to limit other rights (such as freedom of assembly, association or expression) with an already well-established position and rank, not only in Poland, but in any democratic society," says Julia Ksiazek of the Center for International Law.</p> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--body--aktualnosc.html.twig' -->

area.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>- Israeli authorities officially condemn attacks on religious minorities, but their actions do not actually work.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>- The demands of the UN General Assembly do not find understanding from the Israeli authorities.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify">On December 16, two people were killed by Israeli sniper bullets - a mother and daughter walking out of Gaza's only Catholic church. The two women belonged to the local Christian community and actively participated in the life of the parish. The church also housed Christian families who had taken refuge from the ongoing fighting. According to witnesses, "the soldiers fired in cold blood." Despite the Patriarch of Jerusalem's call, the attacks did not cease. Initially, the Israeli military, justifying the attack, argued that it had received information that "there are rocket launchers in the parish area." However, on December 17, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) denied claims that a Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip was their target. In addition, it stressed that the IDF "does not target civilians, regardless of their religion." In another statement, dated December 19, the IDF released a preliminary report on an exchange of fire with Hamas from near the church, which again stated that the Israeli army was not responsible for the deaths of the two women. The report explained that an exchange of fire between the IDF and Hamas took place in the area indicated: "Hamas terrorists fired a rocket-propelled grenade at IDF soldiers from near the church." As highlighted, IDF soldiers identified three people nearby who acted as Hamas "observers" and "directed their attacks," and "fired at the observers, hitting them."</p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>Increasing casualties among Gaza Christians</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify">The December 16 incident was one of many in which Christians living in the Gaza Strip fell victim. At the same time, the public was informed that an Israeli army missile hit the convent of the Missionary Sisters of Charity in Gaza. The building was severely damaged. According to available information, "54 disabled people were cared for in the convent, which is located in the parish." On the other hand, on October 19, the Israeli army bombed St. Porphyrios Church in Gaza, where some 50 worshippers were sheltered. More than a dozen people were killed as a result of the attack.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Acts of violence by the Israeli army against Christians are on the rise, despite the fact that clerics reported the Holy Family Church in Gaza to the Israeli army as a place of prayer and shelter for civilians at the very beginning of the war. There are currently more than 600 refugees, including children and the elderly, who have found refuge in the parish. Available data shows that since October 7, 2% of the approximately 1,000-strong Christian community living in the Gaza Strip have lost their lives, and the homes of more than 50 families have also been destroyed. In an interview with L'Osservatore Romano, Father Francesco Patton - Custos of the Holy Land - stated that the situation of Christians has always been difficult but with the outbreak of war, "the position of Palestinian Christians is becoming extremely difficult," and he fears that they will disappear completely from the Gaza Strip.</p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>The war against terrorists, and Christians are suffering</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify">The situation for Christians is difficult not only in the Gaza Strip, but also in Israel itself. At present, Christians are a decided minority in the Holy Land. They number about 2% in Israel and about 1.5% in the West Bank. Due to attacks and discrimination, not only by Orthodox Jews, but also by Israeli soldiers, Christians are choosing to leave Israel. The spiral of violence has escalated especially since the beginning of 2023. For example, in January 2023, two Jewish teenagers were arrested for destroying graves in the Protestant cemetery on Mount Zion. Both Armenian community buildings in Jerusalem and Armenian restaurants are being vandalized. Jews also commit destruction of Christ statues and attack Catholic priests and nuns. By the middle of the year, the number of incidents was so high that in July the Polish Foreign Ministry intervened in attacks on pilgrims and members of the convent of the Polish Elizabethan Sisters in Jerusalem. In an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in July, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Pierbattista Pizzaballa said that while aggression by Jews against Christians is nothing new, what is somewhat of a novelty is the frequency with which attacks are occurring. The escalation of aggression was also recognized by the bishops' commission "Iustitia et Pax," which issued a special statement on July 28, 2023. The document stressed that behavior such as "spitting, insults, physical violence, as well as vandalism and graffiti are committed mainly by Jewish extremist youths," and that state authorities continue to allow these "expressions of contempt."</p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>Israeli authorities' position</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify">Israeli authorities officially condemn all attacks on religious minorities. Aggressive behavior against Christians was condemned by Jerusalem Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar, who said in a June 2023 statement that "such behavior is strictly forbidden," as it is against Jewish law. In the same vein was Jerusalem Deputy Mayor Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, who stressed that city authorities take action as soon as they receive complaints of harassment against Christians. The establishment of a special investigative group in Jerusalem was also announced recently. According to representatives of the Christian minority, however, in most cases the police do not respond adequately to the situation and the vandals even have "tacit" acquiescence from those in power. Religious minority leaders in this context point out that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu only in October 2023 announced a "zero tolerance" policy toward attacks by ultra-Orthodox Jews. Confirmation of the concerns raised may also be provided by the fact that Netanyahu and his cabinet have been called "the most religious and right-wing government in Israel's history," which may, according to commentators, "embolden" radicals.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">According to political scientists, particularly noteworthy is the person of Itamar Ben-Gewir of "Jewish Power," who makes no secret of his dislike of Christians. In his law practice, he became famous, among other things, for defending Jewish radicals accused of acts of hatred. Activists, including Elisha Yered, an extremist and former spokesman for far-right parliamentarian Limor Son Har-Melech, fit into this pattern of radical views. Yered has become famous in recent months for a controversial post on the "X" platform, in which he stated that "(...) spitting near priests or churches is an ancient Jewish custom." The anti-Christian attitude is also evident in the increasing restriction of Gaza Christians from entering Bethlehem and Jerusalem.</p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>Summary</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><br /> In a recent statement to RMF FM radio, Rabbi Shalom Dov Ber Stambler, chairman of Chabad-Lubavitch, convinced Polish listeners that "there is no more humanistic military and no more humanistic politics than Israel's." The events of the past year seem to contradict these claims. The conflict between Israel and Hamas is escalating to the point where its victims are outsiders. The international community also recognizes this. As early as October of this year, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres sounded the alarm that Israel was violating international law in the Gaza Strip.  In response, Israeli authorities revoked visas for UN officials. Meanwhile, on December 12, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution (A/ES-10/L.27) calling on Israeli authorities for an "immediate humanitarian ceasefire" and protection of civilians and humanitarian access. In response, the Israeli ambassador called the resolution "hypocritical." Three more resolutions were adopted on December 20, 2023. In total, in 2023. UN General Assembly adopted 23 resolutions, 14 of which dealt directly with Israel. Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, commented, calling the state of affairs "a 'farce' and discriminatory." In the conclusion of his statement, Neuer accused the UN of bias and of violating the principle of equal treatment of all countries in order to, as he put it, "make Israel a scapegoat." Acts of violence against Christians were also condemned by Pope Francis, who stressed that the targets of Israeli attacks in Gaza are "not terrorists but families, children, sick and disabled people and sisters." </p> <p class="text-align-justify">Dr. Kinga Szymanska - analyst at the Ordo Iuris Center for Research and Analysis</p> <!-- END OUTPUT from

class="text-align-justify"><strong>· The UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women has issued a statement that the right to abortion is a human right and derives from international law.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>· Accordingly, this body recommends that all states parties decriminalise and legalise abortion and provide 'gender' sensitive education on 'sexual and reproductive health' and rights in this area.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>· This statement contradicts the norms of international law, which do not provide for a so-called right to abortion on demand in any treaty or other international human rights agreement.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify">The subject of the statement, entitled 'Protecting the life, health and future of girls by minimising unwanted pregnancies and guaranteeing access to safe abortion', is 'reproductive and sexual rights' and the related so-called right to abortion on demand.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In the statement, the authors lament that there has been a "regression" in some regions of the world and a retreat from "protecting girls' access" to "safe abortion" and "post-abortion services without due regard to the protection of their lives, physical and mental health and futures, nor recognition of their vital role and potential contribution to the human potential and economy of the nation". As an example, they cite the US Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organisation in June 2022, which held that a right to abortion does not derive from the US Constitution. According to the Committee, girls' access to abortion has deteriorated as a result of this judgment. The Committee goes on to state in a statement that "impeding girls' access to safe termination of unwanted pregnancy is contrary to States' obligations to guarantee girls' rights to equality, autonomy, privacy and reproductive freedom, the fundamental right to protection from unsafe health situations, and freedom from gender-based violence and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment". In this regard, the Committee makes clear that "access to modern forms of contraception and to safe and quality abortion is a human right under international law and is particularly important for girls." </p> <p class="text-align-justify">Therefore, in the statement, its authors call for, among other things, the decriminalisation and legalisation of abortion and the provision of 'gender-sensitive' education on so-called sexual and reproductive health and rights.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Significantly, however, abortion as a human right is not recognised in any of the international agreements. These recognise the right to life as the most important of human rights, followed by other rights such as the right to privacy. Nevertheless, several UN Committees in their official documents attempt to derive the so-called right to abortion from the concept of reproductive and sexual rights appearing in official documents of international organisations, as exemplified by the position of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is a specialised body, operating within the United Nations structure. The primary task of this body is to monitor the implementation of and compliance by State parties with the provisions of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, adopted by the General Assembly in 1979. In accordance with its provisions, states parties are obliged to submit, at least once every four years, a report reporting on the implementation of the provisions of the said international agreement. After reviewing such a document, the Committee may make recommendations on the situation of women in the country concerned.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The Committee itself is composed of 23 experts, proposed by States Parties and elected for 4-year terms on a geographical basis. Importantly, the members of the Committee act in their personal capacity. This means that they do not represent their countries of origin.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">- The statement issued by the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women should be regarded as another attempt to place abortion in the field of human rights outside of the treaty. In addition, its authors consider the ban on abortion to be a form of inhuman treatment.

The declaration is intended to commit countries to the full implementation of Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The summit was a response to the impact of the numerous and interrelated crises the world is facing. The underpinnings of Agenda 2030 are the Rio Conference, held in 2012, and the 2019 Global Sustainability Report, titled "The future is Now: Science for Achieving Sustainable Development."</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The summit was divided into six sections. World leaders adopted a "Political Declaration," pledging to achieve, over the next seven years, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 related sub-goals that form the essential core of the 2030 Agenda. They take into account the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The motive for action is to be a shared commitment to eradicating poverty, hunger and inequality, both within and between countries, and building peaceful societies. Sustainable development is to focus on overcoming the weaknesses and problems of the current world.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The main issues discussed at the summit were energy transition, renewable energy, access to education, new technologies, facilitating the digitization of the global economy, digitizing the world, implementing urbanization regulations, and adopting a new financial architecture.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">One of the top priorities of the Declaration issued at the end of the summit is, expressed in paragraph 15, the demand for consistent implementation of human rights and "gender equality," as well as the promotion of so-called sexual and reproductive rights, which the UN believes should be given greater consideration in the implementation of the various goals of the Agenda. </p> <p class="text-align-justify">The summit summary document also reaffirmed the Addis Ababa Action Agenda, which is an integral part of Agenda 2030, dedicated to financing and sustainable development issues, focusing forces and actions on climate change. The declaration is written in the spirit of resolutions and commitments, and is intended as a kind of transition from discussion to action - so that the goals the UN sets for itself will be realized in accordance with Agenda 2030.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">A number of heads of state and world leaders spoke over the two days. One of them was Hungarian President Katalin Novák, who stressed the essence of peace, the role of the UN and pointed out the steps that the countries that came to the summit must take. She also noted what a great problem the demographic decline is becoming for the world, and the importance of the family, its rights and freedom. She defined clearly what is the most important task of countries when it comes to parents.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">"We protect the freedom of parents. We firmly believe that the right to raise children belongs not to the state, NGOs, the media or the knowledge industry, but to the parents." - Katalin Novák stressed.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The Hungarian president also pointed out the right focus for the world to grapple with.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">"Elon Musk may be right when he says that the demographic decline is a more serious problem than the climate crisis. Little attention is paid to the real and irreversible change in the world. If there are no children, there will be no future. What is the point of taking care of the Earth if we don't have children and grandchildren to pass it on to? (...). In Europe and in many of your countries, the demographic winter has turned into an ice age," the politician noted.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">- The President's speech was an interesting voice at the 78th UN session. The clear and decisive approach to the most important issues presented by her delineates a new outlook on real problems. The speech delivered at the summit is consistent with what the Hungarian president pointed out at the 77th UN session," pointed out Dr. Przemysław Kulawinski of the Ordo Iuris Center for International Law.</p> <p class="text-align-justify"> "It is not at all obvious that today, in times of war, energy and food crises, organizations set up to avoid war and preserve peace focus on ideological indoctrination. This is not what is needed today. Instead, we need to regain the ability to distinguish between the essential and the irrelevant, the important and the unimportant, reality and fiction." - said the Hungarian president last year.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The challenges currently facing the country's leaders are significant, and time is short. A Future Summit will be held in September 2024, with the ultimate goal of concluding a Future Pact.</p> <!-- END OUTPUT from

class="text-align-justify"><strong>· A meeting of the High-Level Political Forum on the Sustainable Development Goals, in which Poland, among others, participates, is taking place in New York.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>· The subject of its deliberations will be some of the goals set out in the Agenda 2030 framework.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>· The Agenda 2030 program has been the subject of much controversy due to, among other things, the pushing of so-called reproductive and sexual rights.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify"><strong>· The New York meeting will discuss goals relating to, among other things, recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, access to water and energy sources, and improving infrastructure.</strong></p> <p class="text-align-justify">From July 10 to 20, the High Level Political Forum (HLPF), a special global platform to strengthen and coordinate the UN's Agenda 2030 sustainable development policies, is meeting in New York.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The 2030 Agenda is the abbreviated and commonly used name of the UN resolution known formally as "Transforming Our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with Sustainable Development Goals" (The Sustainable Development Goals). It contains a plan of action set by the UN and member states that includes an agenda for solving the most pressing, in the opinion of its authors, economic, social and environmental problems of the world today. The document in question establishes 17 such goals and 169 tasks, relating to matters related to various and very broad issues such as people, planet, prosperity, peace or partnership. All of them are to be achieved by 2030.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The 2030 Agenda is a highly controversial document, due in part to the language used there and the vague and ideologically charged terms. These include, first and foremost, terms such as "reproductive rights" or "reproductive and sexual health," which, according to the wording of many international documents, include within their scope the so-called right to abortion. </p> <p class="text-align-justify">The theme of this year's regular meeting will be recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and implementation of Agenda 2030 for sustainable development.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The Forum's upcoming meeting will discuss 5 goals:</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Goal 6 Ensure access to water and sanitation for all through sustainable management of water resources.<br /> Goal 7. Ensure access for all to sources of stable, sustainable and modern energy at an affordable price.<br /> Goal 9 Build stable infrastructure, promote sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation.<br /> Goal 11 Make cities and human settlements safe, stable, sustainable, and inclusive.<br /> Goal 17 Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.<br /> Much attention is drawn to the use of very general and imprecise language used to formulate the text of the resolution containing the goals set under Agenda 2030. The terms used therein, especially in the context of the articles cited, are ambiguous. Significantly, the 2015 resolution does not include definitions explaining the meaning of each term. In addition, many of the 5 goals mentioned overlap, at least in part, in terms of their meanings, such as the identical environmental provisions in Tasks 6.6 and 11.4, respectively.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">Secondly, a large part of the issues under discussion relate to developing countries in the broadest sense, as well as to completely failed states. For it suffices to mention the provisions relating to issues of lack of access to drinking water or sanitation (Tasks 6.1 and 6.2), or the explicitly expressed need for developed countries to support developing countries (Task 17.2).</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In addition, the 2030 Agenda is accused of a lack of coherence between its various elements, which refers especially to the differences that exist between socio-economic goals and those relating to environmental protection. The biggest controversy, however, is over the aforementioned vague issues relating to gender, sexual and reproductive health or sexual education contained primarily in goals 3 and 5, which are not the subject of the meeting to be held in July.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">At the upcoming meeting of the High Level Political Forum (HLPF), the goals under discussion will be presented in very general terms, often in terms of links to other goals and against the background of selected and equally generally portrayed selected issues. There will also be a series of side events organized in connection with the Forum meeting. </p> <p class="text-align-justify">At the upcoming meeting of the High Level Political Forum (HLPF), the discussed goals will be presented in very general terms, often in terms of links to other goals and against the background of selected and equally generally portrayed selected problems. There will also be a series of side events organized in connection with the Forum meeting. </p> <p class="text-align-justify">During the meeting, a representative of the Republic of Poland will speak on Wednesday, July 19, presenting the so-called VNR, or Voluntary National Review.

The report aimed to conduct an objective study of the relationship between religious freedom issues and the prohibition of discrimination.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In the course of the work, the Ordo Iuris Institute also submitted its opinion. In it, the Institute's experts pointed out that the prohibition of discrimination, equal treatment and protection against violence, are subject to constitutional protection in the Republic of Poland, which covers all citizens. The Polish legal system fully protects everyone, regardless of their sexual preferences. Diversity, equality and, above all, the right to privacy and the belief in the innate, inalienable dignity of every human being, have been embedded in Polish culture and tradition for centuries. In addition, the Polish legal order does not take into account the assumptions of gender theory, remaining with the natural distinction of sex on the basis of biological criteria.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The basis of the report was based on the thesis that historically, under the guise of religiosity, institutional violence was permitted, promoted and enabled on the basis of sexual preference or "gender identity." The author of the study himself, Viktor Mardigal-Borloz, stated that "in some cases, religious narratives have been deliberately used to justify violence and discrimination - often in contradiction to the doctrine of these faiths."</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In the report's conclusions, the expert calls, among other things, for member states to ensure "bodily autonomy and sexual and reproductive health and rights for LGBT and gender-diverse people," as well as "comprehensive sex and gender education" in accordance with international standards, and to repeal laws criminalizing crimes such as blasphemy. In addition, according to the expert, religious leaders should recognize that "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" are diverse around the world, and that gender manifests itself differently in many cultural and social structures and practices through the fact that many cultures recognize more genders than the male-female binary.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">"It would be unethical to say that one social group is entitled to more privileges than the others. We are all human beings and we all have equal rights, and therefore inherently deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of our belief system or sexual preference. As history teaches us, any such divisions and singling out of one group over another will lead to serious, senseless conflicts," commented Iga Malinowska of the Ordo Iuris International Law Center.</p> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--body--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-kategoria.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-kategoria.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> Kategoria } <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-zdjecie.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-zdjecie.html.twig * field--image.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_formatter' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * image-formatter--node--aktualnosc--field-zdjecie.html.twig x image-formatter.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_style' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-style.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image.html.twig' --> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/artykul_full/public/2023-08/AdobeStock_56953793%20%282%29.jpeg?itok=Q46F3Uuq" width="250" height="125" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" /> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-style.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-zrodlo-zdjecia--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-zrodlo-zdjecia.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-zrodlo-zdjecia.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div>Adobe Stock</div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-tagi--aktualnosc.html.twig x field--node--field-tagi.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-tagi.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/page_node/field--node--field-tagi.html.twig' --> <hr> <ul class="tags_list"> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/united-nations" hreflang="pl">United nations</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/independent-expert" hreflang="pl">independent expert</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/gender" hreflang="pl">gender</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/report" hreflang="pl">report</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/sex" hreflang="pl">sex</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/sexual-education" hreflang="pl">sexual education</a></li> </ul> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/page_node/field--node--field-tagi.html.twig' --> Tue, 11 Jul 2023 13:38:15 +0000 filip.bator 1440 at https://en.ordoiuris.pl The Office of the President ignores the threat posed by attempts to impose a "right to abortion."

The UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on international cooperation on access to justice, remedies and support for victims of sexual violence. The document, under the guise of addressing violence against women and girls, calls on states to "promote and protect reproductive rights," including providing access to "safe and effective methods of modern contraception," "emergency contraception" (which are essentially early abortifacients) and "safe abortion." Thus, the resolution pushes an arbitrary interpretation of international law that recognizes abortion as a human right. While no international treaty grants anyone the "right to abortion" or the "right to contraception," in practice, for many years some international bodies have argued that these rights derive from the right to privacy and even the right to life.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The Ordo Iuris Institute has already sent four letters to Polish President Andrzej Duda urging him to oppose this interpretation of human rights at the UN. In both letters, the Institute warned that while UN General Assembly resolutions have no formal binding force, in practice they can become a tool for the development of customary law, which is already binding on states. In turn, international custom could force Poland to recognize a "right to abortion" or a "right to early abortion remedies," even though it has not signed any treaty establishing such rights. The only way to avoid such a scenario is for Poland - represented internationally by its president, among others - to express unequivocal opposition to such interpretations of human rights treaties. </p> <p class="text-align-justify">The Polish president, however, has not taken the steps called for by the Ordo Iuris Institute. On behalf of the head of state, a renewed response was given by Malgorzata Paprocka, secretary of state in the Office of the President. In a letter dated January 23, she pointed out that "cases of selective interpretation of international documents, carried out in violation of the principles of interpretation contained in the Vienna Convention ... do not invalidate the binding force and meaning of these principles." In addition, Minister Paprocka stressed that the principles of interpretation expressed in the Vienna Convention "prevent individual words from being taken out of context and thus creating human rights that are not supported by international agreements."</p> <p class="text-align-justify">In response to the letter, the Ordo Iuris Institute sent another letter, explaining that the inaction of the President of Poland and other state bodies responsible for foreign policy will, over the course of several years, result in the formation of a common law norm that will deprive unborn children of their right to life, forcing countries such as Poland to legalize abortion on demand, regardless of constitutional regulations. The Institute also pointed out that the interpretation of regulations by international organizations in violation of the rules of interpretation of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties does not actually lead formally to its repeal and deprivation. However, this does not change the fact that, in practice, the Convention is losing relevance, and the so-called dynamic method of treaty interpretation is gaining, for which, in order to determine the content of a provision, the most important thing is not the text, but the social context, as determined by the members of international organizations. Although, applying the principles of interpretation expressed in the Vienna Convention, it is impossible to derive a right to abortion from human rights treaties, it did not prevent the UN General Assembly, the UN Human Rights Committee, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the CEDAW Committee and many other international bodies from deriving such a "human right" from these treaties.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">- We consider as overly optimistic the Chancellery's position that the principles of interpretation expressed in the Vienna Convention "prevent individual words from being taken out of context and thus creating human rights that are not supported by international agreements." The practice of international bodies testifies to the contrary. However, the law firm downplays its significance, basing its position on outdated rulings of the European Court of Human Rights and one ruling of the International Court of Justice on racial discrimination, an issue unrelated to the dangers of international human rights bodies seeking to impose a "right to abortion" on states. According to the well-established position of the doctrine of international law, the only effective way to avoid binding Poland to the "customary right to abortion" is for the Polish authorities - preferably by the President of the Republic - to unequivocally express their opposition to such an interpretation of human rights," stressed Weronika Przebierała, director of the International Law Center of the Ordo Iuris Institute.</p> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--body--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-kategoria.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-kategoria.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> Kategoria } <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-zdjecie.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-zdjecie.html.twig * field--image.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_formatter' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * image-formatter--node--aktualnosc--field-zdjecie.html.twig x image-formatter.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_style' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-style.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image.html.twig' --> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/artykul_full/public/2023-03/AdobeStock_539962846_Editorial_Use_Only.jpeg?itok=PVbs6hFJ" width="250" height="125" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" /> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-style.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-zrodlo-zdjecia--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-zrodlo-zdjecia.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-zrodlo-zdjecia.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div>Adobe Stock</div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-tagi--aktualnosc.html.twig x field--node--field-tagi.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-tagi.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/page_node/field--node--field-tagi.html.twig' --> <hr> <ul class="tags_list"> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/abortion" hreflang="pl">abortion</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/president" hreflang="pl">president</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/united-nations" hreflang="pl">United nations</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/prolife" hreflang="pl">prolife</a></li> </ul> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/page_node/field--node--field-tagi.html.twig' --> Fri, 10 Mar 2023 12:32:28 +0000 filip.bator 1409 at https://en.ordoiuris.pl Freedom of religion vs. ideology: the right to freedom of religion and belief contrasted with "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" in UN report https://en.ordoiuris.pl/family-and-marriage/freedom-religion-vs-ideology-right-freedom-religion-and-belief-contrasted <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--title--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--title.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--title.html.twig * field--string.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--title--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> Freedom of religion vs. ideology: the right to freedom of religion and belief contrasted with &quot;sexual orientation&quot;

Such a report should aim to conduct an objective study of the relationship between religious freedom and discrimination data. However, the author assumes at the outset that there are undefined "human rights of LGBT people" to be threatened by the free exercise of freedom of religion and belief. Such a view not only contradicts the legislation of many UN member states, but also wrongly elevates concepts of gender ideology (e.g., recognition of multiracialism ) to the status of international human rights. This may suggest that those pursuing these demands are deprived of the protections afforded by the human rights system to all people, or that they should be entitled to some special "human rights." In this context, religious freedom - when it comes into conflict with gender theories - is identified as a threat to the full realization of the ideology's goals and its spread in society.</p> <p class="text-align-justify"><br /> The very questions outlined by the independent expert to gather information put freedom of religion, belief and conscience (i.e., universally recognized human rights) on the same level as "freedom from discrimination based on gender identity." Moreover, the language used by the expert not only fails to define what is meant by discrimination, but fails to distinguish discrimination and violence against individuals from opposition to ideology. It thus equates a dispute of views with persecution of persons, misleading those called upon to present a position.</p> <p class="text-align-justify"><br /> The Ordo Iuris Institute responded to the inquiry, rejecting the wording used by Victor Madrigal-Borloz to present the subject of the report. In particular, the Institute stressed that Poland has not accepted gender theory in its legal order and has remained with the natural distinction of gender through biological characteristics. Finally, the prohibition of discrimination, equal treatment and protection from violence, are subject to constitutional protection in the Republic of Poland, which covers all citizens. The Polish legal system fully protects everyone. Diversity, equality and, above all, the right to privacy and the belief in the dignity of every person, have been embedded in Polish culture and tradition for centuries.</p> <p class="text-align-justify"><br /> - The assumptions on which the report is based foreshadow a highly ideologized final document. Its purpose seems to be to indicate how "gender identity" should be perceived by lawmakers, religious leaders and individual citizens, rather than to collect objective data on the subject. The language used, ignoring the existence of differing positions on gender theory, classifies as discrimination anything that is not an affirmation of the claims made by proponents of rejecting the anthropological and biological basis of gender identification. The approach thus constitutes a form of abuse of the UN's authority to pressure them and direct their domestic policies in a particular ideological direction," commented Veronika Turetta, an analyst at the Ordo Iuris Institute's Center for International Law.<br />  </p> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--body--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-kategoria.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-kategoria.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> Kategoria } <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-kategoria--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-zdjecie.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-zdjecie.html.twig * field--image.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_formatter' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * image-formatter--node--aktualnosc--field-zdjecie.html.twig x image-formatter.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image_style' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-style.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'image' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image.html.twig' --> <img src="/sites/default/files/styles/artykul_full/public/2023-01/AdobeStock_491876044_Editorial_Use_Only%20%281%29.jpeg?itok=15r_-TVW" width="250" height="125" alt="" typeof="foaf:Image" /> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-style.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/image-formatter.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/news_block/field--node--field-zdjecie--aktualnosc.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-zrodlo-zdjecia--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--node--field-zrodlo-zdjecia.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-zrodlo-zdjecia.html.twig * field--string.html.twig x field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <div>Adobe Stock</div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'core/themes/stable/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-tagi--aktualnosc.html.twig x field--node--field-tagi.html.twig * field--node--aktualnosc.html.twig * field--field-tagi.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/page_node/field--node--field-tagi.html.twig' --> <hr> <ul class="tags_list"> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/united-nations" hreflang="pl">United nations</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/lgbt" hreflang="pl">LGBT</a></li> <li class="label label-ordo2"><a href="/religious-freedom" hreflang="pl">religious freedom</a></li> </ul> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/ordoiuris/templates/page_node/field--node--field-tagi.html.twig' --> Fri, 13 Jan 2023 11:35:54 +0000 filip.bator 1393 at https://en.ordoiuris.pl
