In planning this year’s budget of the CHR Office, the Sejm’s Expert Analyses
Bureau positively assessed the Commissioner’s application for financial resources.
However, in the course of the parliamentary debate, parliamentarians, despite the positive
opinion of the said Bureau, reduced the CHR Office’s budget. The budget cuts were
introduced despite the existing international recommendations (CAT, UPR) which clearly
indicated the need to provide a budget that would secure appropriate operation of the Office.
