IHRA and OSI briefing on Poland to UN Committee on Economic Social and Cultural Rights
IHRA in conjunction with OSI have fed into the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights’ consideration of the State Report of Poland with a briefing to follow up on the mission to Poland of the Special Rapporteur on the Right to the Highest Attainable Standard of Health, Anand Grover. The Committee was urged to support the recommendation of the Special Rapporteur that ‘targets must be set to ensure that those who are in need of methadone get it as soon as possible’ and to ask the Polish Government delegation what action has been taken to address the concerns raised by the special Rapporteur, especially in relation to places of detention and in the Pomorze region as it appears at this stage that there has been no follow up.
