Crisis Management in Times of Epidemics a Restriction of Human and Civil Liberties and Rights
The aim of this arcticle is to indicate how the epidemic threat may affect the crisis management, mainly in the administrative terms. The subject of the study covers the definition of the principles of crisis management and possible restrictions on human and civil liberties and rights at the time of an epidemic threat. The analysis of the topic will allow to answer the questions: “is the public administration able to ensure the safety of citizens in times of epidemics?” and “do the current and so far introduced legal regulations in connection with the coronavirus epidemic significantly restrict the rights and freedoms of citizens?”.The first part of the work presents issues related to crisis management and public safety. In the second, the rules of managing national security due to the spread of the coronavirus will be discussed.

The objective of this article is to point to legal foundations of the crisis management system and to specify principles it is built on, its actors, their competences, mechanisms of cooperation and coordination and principles for financing crisis management tasks. The author places special emphasis on the need to observe human rights and freedoms in the context of actions taken by the state that aim to ensure security and to create an effective crisis management system. The starting point for this discussion is an assumption that security-related problems affect the entire society whereby this society has the right and obligation to participate in efforts to ensure security. At the same time, institutional mechanisms of ensuring security only use participation of institutions by various kinds of interrelations and support. This article shows certain mechanisms of building national security by state bodies and institutions that are responsible for it and competent to respond in crisis situations. How-ever, the exegesis covers participation of the armed forces and legal aspects of employing the Polish Armed Forces in the event of non-military threats.

Risk assessment in the crisis management system plays a crucial role in identifying and minimizing threats to national security. The risk assessment process is influenced by several different elements, which include legislation, organizational structures, and threats to the state’s functioning. This article aims to assess the methodology for determining risk for the needs of the crisis management system in Poland. Based on the results, original solutions in this area were presented. The main conclusion is that, despite the establishment of the Government Centre for Security, which was a breakthrough in terms of building an effective and comprehensive crisis management system and the fact that the Act of 26 April 2007 on crisis management is in force in Poland, there is a need to broaden the concept of risk and improve risk assessment methods in crisis management so that national security is at the highest possible level.

The article presents a report on the research conducted on tasks assigned to the Territorial Defence Forces within the framework of crisis management. The aim of the research was to determine the tasks imposed on the TDF soldiers by national legal acts and directive documents. The solution to the problem required the application of research methods such as the analysis and assessment of open sources of information, including legal acts, subject literature, and data provided by public administration and the Polish Armed Forces. Generalization, analogy, abstraction, and inference were also employed. The final outcome of the research was the identification of tasks carried out by the TDF command, acting as the Crisis Management Centre of the Ministry of National Defence, the TDF Commander as the Chief of the CM Centre at the MOD, the TDF brigade, and the soldiers themselves.
