Discrimination in access to public information and the visibility of websites administration

Access to public information is a right that on the basis of the Constitution provides each citizen, and on the basis of the Law on Access to Information publicznej – to everyone irrespective of their citizenship by him. Both the Law on Access to Public Information and its accompanying regulation indicate what conditions must meet the website of the public authority, that it can be considered as a Public Information Bulletin. The parties are often not adapted to the needs of people with disabilities or digitally excluded. It seems that in this case we can speak of a restriction of their right to access to public information. To overcome the barriers that previously existed for access to public information of persons with disabilities, established a series of regulations aimed at ensuring web accessibility for people with disabilities. At the same time it seems that the measures taken are not sufficient or are not sufficiently used and do not provide full accessibility of public administration websites visually impaired and partially sighted.

The article refers to the right to work of people with disabilities. The author explains the meaning of the terms “disabled person”, “disability” in the context of international regulations and national legislation. He also points to the foundations of the right to work in the context of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, as well as the Act on Vocational and Social Rehabilitation and Employment of Persons with Disabilities. The author draws attention to international regulations of the UN and ILO in this field. The article outlines the realization of this right in the context of employment of people with disabilities in protected labor market entities and on the so-called open labor market.

The article aims to draw attention to the linguistic rights of the Deaf in Poland and their legal source. Deaf people’s right to Polish sign language stems from their disability. This approach is incorrect. The title entitlement is the natural right of the deaf, derived from his dignity. In turn, the principle of human dignity is the gate leading to its “positivization”. On the other hand, recognizing the constitutional nature of the right to Polish sign language strengthens the legal basis of the deaf ’s claims against the state and justifies the legal protection of this language. The recognition of the right to Polish sign language allows the deaf to the full and equal exercise of the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution of April 2, 1997.

Safety of People with Special Needs in the Light of Constitutional and Statutory Regulations

Constitutional law, as a catalog of principles, doctrines and practices governing the activities of communities, has a guiding idea, that the state must protect the fundamental rights of the individual. The article is about the safety of people with special needs in the context of the constitutional principle of equality, dignity and the common good. The aim of the article is to emphasize the necessity to enable people with special needs not only to fully participate in the use of security as a common good, but also to participate in the creation of normative acts resulting from the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. Nobody may be discriminated against in political, social and economic life for any reason. In line with this principle and the constitutional principle of human dignity and the common good, multi-dimensional approaches to the issue of security have been shown and free use of public and social goods of people with special needs in the light of applicable norms and legal regulations.
