The Consortium was represented by Marcin Sośniak (Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights), Aleksandra Gulińska (We Are Monitoring Association) and Magdalena Nazimek (Migration Consortium). On the part of the OCHR, Maciej Grześkowiak, chief coordinator for strategic cooperation, and Marcin Kusy from the Equal Treatment Department also attended the meeting.
Discussions during the meeting focused on the current legal and factual situations affecting the rights of migrants and refugees in Poland, with particular emphasis on the draft law proposing a 'temporary restriction of the right to apply for international protection'. Furthermore, participants explored the potential impact of the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum on Poland and reviewed certain elements of Poland's approach to executing the Pact.
