Odpowiedzialność dyscyplinarna funkcjonariuszy służb specjalnych w świetle koncepcji rzetelnego procesu na przykładzie reżimu dyscyplinarnego Agencji Bezpieczeństwa Wewnętrznego

Abstract

The incentive for contributing this paper is the planned great reform of the Polish Special Services. The study attempts to formulate some requirements that should be met by disciplinary procedure. This goal is achieved by analysing the effective disciplinary procedure in the Internal Security Agency (ABW), the largest branch of the Polish Special Services, in the prism of the idea of fair trial. The assessment conducted of the disciplinary procedure in ABW, leads to the conclusion that the effective law has many shortcomings. Major drawbacks are lack of establishment in respect the supreme rule of disciplinary procedure and lack of clear definition in the application of the general rules of criminal law within the domain of disciplinary procedure. The paper concludes that the shortfalls illustrated, should be eliminated as fast as possible in order to adjust the disciplinary regime to modern standards.
