Recommendation
JS9 recommended to immediate repeal resolutions "against LGBT ideology" and Family Rights Charters and stop further proceeding with legislative proposals that deteriorate civic space, human rights and rule of law, in particular the ‘Stop LGBT+ bill” (no.1607). JS9 recommended to ensure all laws and local government projects affecting civic space are prepared through transparent and participatory policy-making, involving NGOs representatives, and explicitly including anti discriminatory activities and measures to advance equality and LGBT+ rights. JS9 also recommended to amend article 196 of the Criminal Code (provision of “offending religious beliefs”) in order to ensure the respect of the freedom of opinion and expression and to adopt legislation recognising the institution of same-sex marriage and civil partnership available to same-sex couples as well as to recognise two same-sex parents while issuing official Polish registration number or passports for their children as well as accepting transcriptions of birth certificates for children born outside Poland.
