Statement of Civil Society for the Family on the Right of Polish Citizens to Protect Marriage, the Family, and Children without interference from International Organizations

We call on European Union officials, High Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe Ms. Dunja Mijatović, and other human rights officials to walk back sanctions and statements against Polish authorities. We urge them to be more cautious before they embrace politically motivated false narratives. Polish municipalities are adopting resolutions to protect the family and children democratically, without violating any human rights. There is nothing worse for the protection and advancement of human rights than politicization and double standards.

Civil Society for the Family is a coalition representing over two-hundred organizations dedicated to the protection of the family and the promotion of human dignity internationally. The official platform of the coalition may be found at the website www.civilsocietyforthefamily.org. The organizing committee of Civil Society for the Family includes the following organizations: Center for Family and Human Rights (C-Fam), Family Research Council, HazteOir, Human Life International, the Institute for Family Policy, the National Organization for Marriage, Novae Terrae, and Ordo Iuris for Legal Culture.
