Tasks carried out by public administration in the field of protection of children from domestic violence in the context of compliance with the standards arising from the Convention on the Rights of the Child

Summary/Abstract: A child's right to protection from domestic violence can be interpreted from a number of international legal instruments such as the Geneva Declaration adopted in 1924 by the League of Nations or the Declaration on the Rights of the Child adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1959. The Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1989, refers most widely to it. It contains a number of principles indicating the need for the State to safeguard the rights of the child to protection from harm by family members. They relate to the rights of children to: live, be in the care of their parents, establish foster care for them, be free from interference in their private, family or domestic life and strictly protect them from domestic violence. The Republic of Poland, as a party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, is obliged to observe the provisions indicated therein. The aim of this article is to analyze the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child concerning the right of the child to be free from domestic violence, as well as to analyze and evaluate the legal regulations in force in Poland related to the performance of public administration's tasks in the field of protection of the child from domestic violence, in terms of their compliance with the standards resulting from the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The research was conducted on the basis of the formal and dogmatic method, the method of critical analysis of literature and the historical method.
