A/HRC/43/50/Add.3 bodies of public service media, as stated: "a large wave of redundancies in public media, especially in management, press and foreign editors". Neither the National Broadcasting Council nor the National Media Council (apart from the above-mentioned powers regarding company bodies) have any competences related to the employment of public media employees. This is an independent authority of public bodies of media companies. 34. According to the National Broadcasting Council, the different turnover of employees observed in that period did not result solely from the employer’s termination of working conditions. The rotations were also largely caused by the decisions of the stakeholders themselves, which can still be observed, and therefore no such generalisation should be made in the report. Moreover, it should be noted that the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, as responsible for the government sphere of audio-visual policy, cooperates with the National Broadcasting Council on the preparation of appropriate legal proposals which will give the National Broadcasting Council powers in the sphere of shaping the governing bodies of public media companies in order to meet the indications contained in the judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal of 13 December 2016. These works are carried out in the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. 35. Apart from a journalistic debate, conducted mainly by journalists and not politicians, there is no question of the so-called “repolonization of the media”. However, the issue of media “deconcentration” is discussed and considered, due to the fact that the Polish media market in terms of capital concentration rules significantly differs from European standards. However, this is a very complex problem in legal terms. Ad Part III The implementation of cultural rights in Poland paragraph 31 36. The Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, acting in cooperation with the MFA, constantly monitors the fulfilment of commitments regarding the media made in the UN Universal Periodic Review of Human Rights. The Ministry of Culture and National Heritage has not received any request by Special Rapporteur Karima Bennoune to present updated information. Ad Part III B Cultural heritage - paragraph 35 37. Monuments and statues are carriers of specific historical content, embedded in the consciousness of the nation, which erected them. They refer to moments and figures whom the nation wants to pay special tribute to - to promote their memory. Using them for political demonstrations (as in the case of dressing them in T-shirts with the inscription “Constitution”) is therefore an indisputable act of symbolic provocation. Such acts are undertaken in connection with an exceptionally complex legal dispute concerning the provisions of the Polish Constitution. Such acts inscribe historical heroes in the current, temporary political dispute, and they appropriate the symbolic space belonging to the entire Polish community. Ad Part III B Politics of history - paragraph 38, 39,40 38. Issues arising from the amended Act on the Institute of National Remembrance and the controversies surrounding it were closed by a joint declaration of the State of Israel and the Republic of Poland signed by Prime Ministers Mateusz Morawiecki and Benjamin Netanyahu, which reads: “We support free and open historical expression and research on all aspects of the Holocaust so that it can be conducted without any fear of legal obstacles, including but not limited to students, teachers, researchers, journalists and – with all certainty the survivors and their families – who will not be subject to any legal charges for using the right to free speech and academic freedom with reference to the Holocaust. No law can and will change that.” 39. The amendment issue is closed, and the act in itself no longer stirs any controversies. The amendments adopted in 2018 were not proposed by the Ministry of Culture, were outside 9
