The Polish National Prevention Mechanism is highly enthusiastic to learn about the codification work on the draft European rules on the administrative detention of migrants. From the standpoint of national preventive mechanisms monitoring the observance of the rights of migrants in detention, this document could constitute a very important and useful tool providing government authorities with guidance on the proper procedural standards for dealing with migrants. Unfortunately, in their current form, the draft rules do not fulfil all the hopes placed in them, and worse, by directly referencing the European Prison Rules, they detract from the standards governing the migrants’ rights as formulated to date. Accordingly, the Polish National Preventive Mechanism wishes to present its comments and reservations about the proposed rules.
