Abstrakt

Artykuł ma na celu określenie wymagań, jakie musi spełniać mechanizm rozpatrzenia skarg związanych z okrutnym, nieludzkim lub poniżającym traktowaniem osób przesłuchiwanych w postępowaniu karnym przygotowawczym. Autorzy analizują przepisy  prawa międzynarodowego i unijnego, soft law, w tym rekomendacje i wytyczne dotyczące danego zagadnienia zawarte
w zasadach efektywnego przesłuchania, zwanych również zasadami Méndeza. Autorzy proponują listę warunków koniecznych do zapewnienia skuteczności
instytucji skarg w postępowaniu karnym przygotowawczym. We wnioskach zwracają uwagę na to, że prawo do składania skarg wymaga wieloaspektowego podejścia, na które składają się wymóg bezstronności, jasności procedur,
poufności, podejmowania decyzji w oparciu o dowody, ochrony przed ewentualnymi konsekwencjami negatywnymi dla osoby skarżącej oraz periodycznej ewaluacji istniejących procedur i praktyki. Wytyczne i rekomendacje zawarte
w zasadach Méndeza mają charakter ogólny, co wymaga od kompetentnych władz krajowych wdrożenia procedur kompatybilnych ze wspomnianymi zasadami.
