| Summary: | The principle of non-discrimination is guaranteed at the constitutional level in Polish law. Additionally, it results from international conventions to which Poland is a party as well as from EU law. Analyzing the legal provisions relating to the concept of prohibited discrimination on the grounds of, among others, sex, gender identity, skin color, language, national and/or ethnic origin, religion, denomination or lack of denomination, worldview, health condition and degree of ability, age, psychosexual orientation, social and economic status and others - one may get the impression that there are sufficient guarantees prohibiting worse or unequal treatment of persons. However, the practice differs from constitutional and international standards. The problem of discrimination affects many people or groups of people in various situations. The subject of this analysis will be legal protection against discrimination based on various aspects, including in labor law. The aim of this publication is to answer the question of whether the guarantees contained in the constitution and ordinary laws are sufficient to protect individual rights. El principio de no discriminación está garantizado a nivel constitucional en la legislación polaca. Además, se deriva de los convenios internacionales en los que Polonia es parte, así como del Derecho de la Unión Europea. Al analizar las disposiciones legales relativas al concepto de discriminación prohibida por motivos de, entre otros, sexo, identidad de género, color de piel, idioma, origen nacional y/o étnico, religión, confesión o falta de confesión, visión del mundo, estado de salud y grado decapacidad, edad, orientación psicosexual, situación social y económica y otros, se puede tener la impresión de que existen garantías suficientes que prohíben el trato peor o desigual de las personas. Sin embargo, la práctica difiere de las normas constitucionales e internacionales. El problema de la discriminación afecta a muchas personas o grupos de personas en diversas situaciones. El objeto de este análisis será la protección jurídica contra la discriminación basada en diversos aspectos, incluido el derecho laboral. El objetivo de esta publicación es responder a la pregunta de si las garantías contenidas en la Constitución y en las leyes ordinarias son suficientes para proteger los derechos individuales. |
