Summary/Abstract: At present, a socially significant problem resounding in the space of public discussionis the lack of a proper response of state organs and various social institutions in thepast, on the phenomenon of sexual exploitation of children less than 15 years old. In manycases it led to the expiration for these crimes and the inability to punish the perpetrators and thus a sense of profound in justice among the victims of these acts. A similar situation concerned the failure to notify law enforcement authorities of such crimes despite havingreliable information. The legal answer is the establishment of a new administrative body:the State Commission for the Explanation of Actions Against Sexual Liberty and Decency ofMinors Under 15 Years of Age. The subject of the analysis is to indicate the political positionof the Commission through the prism of other institutions operating in the Polish legal system, such as the Ombudsman (RPO) or the Children’s Ombudsman (RPD). The subject of the analysis is in the indication of the competence of the Commission and the status ofmembers allows to identify possible threats that occur in the process of operation and implementation of assigned tasks. There is no similar analysis in the literature so far, because the emphasis on scientific discussion has been placed on the criminal-law guarantees ofa person who can be entered in the Register of Sexual Offenders. The comparative method is being considered. They analyze systemic solutions in relation to the operation and methodof organization, other bodies, broadly understood state administration, and focus on mechanismsthat guarantee the effective work of the Commission.
