Legal Protection of the Child from Violence and the Detention of Minor Foreigners in Poland

Summary/Abstract: Legal protection of the child in its normative dimension, including the protection of minors against violence, is one of the fundamental principles of contemporary legal systems, which is rooted in numerous acts of Polish and international jurisprudence. The abundance of regulations in this scope indicates that legal system in Poland shields minors against violence comprehensively and — as it seems — universally. However, there arises a question whether the law protects to the same extent minor foreigner residing in the territory of the Republic of Poland, particularly those who are subjected to the procedure of placing them in guarded camps for foreigners; which is followed by the question: Are the standards of the said protection identical in the case of minors who are subjected to detention along with their family members, and in the case of minors who are unattended? By means of the analysis of the legal solutions currently in force, the present article tries to answer the above questions.
