Sytuacja prawna na granicy polsko-białoruskiej po wybuchu wojny rosyjsko-ukraińskiej – wyzwanie dla procedur udzielania ochrony międzynarodowej

Abstract

The article examines if Poland can, in accordance with international law, effectively combat pressure on the border with a country de facto supporting an aggressor. Analysis of, among others, the Geneva Refugee Convention, EU law, the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and jurisprudence validate previous findings that right to life and prohibition of torture are non-derogable, permitting to protect borders and fight with terrorism. National procedures are challenged by a need to individualize decisions refusing entry and denying protection. Still, this does not justify violating human rights.
