Preambule

Národy Evropy, vytvářejíce mezi sebou stále těsnější unii, se rozhodly sdílet mírovou budoucnost založenou na společných hodnotách.

Unie, vědoma si svého duchovního a morálního dědictví, se zakládá na nedělitelných a všeobecných hodnotách lidské důstojnosti, svobody, rovnosti a solidarity; spočívá na zásadách demokracie a právního státu. Do středu své činnosti staví jednotlivce tím, že zavádí občanství Unie a vytváří prostor svobody, bezpečnosti a práva.
Unie přispívá k zachování a rozvíjení těchto společných hodnot při současném respektování rozmanitosti kultur a tradic národů Evropy, národní identity členských států a uspořádání jejich veřejné moci na státní, regionální a místní úrovni; usiluje o podporu vyváženého a udržitelného rozvoje a zajišťuje volný pohyb osob, služeb, zboží a kapitálu, jakož i svobodu usazování.
K tomuto účelu je nezbytné posílit ochranu základních práv s ohledem na společenský vývoj, sociální pokrok a vědeckotechnologický rozvoj zřetelnějším vyjádřením těchto práv v podobě listiny.
Při respektování pravomocí a úkolů Unie i zásady subsidiarity potvrzuje tato listina práva, která vyplývají především z ústavních tradic a mezinárodních závazků společných členským státům, z Evropské úmluvy o ochraně lidských práv a základních svobod, ze sociálních chart přijatých Unií a Radou Evropy a z judikatury Soudního dvora Evropské unie a Evropského soudu pro lidská práva. Tuto listinu budou v této souvislosti soudy Unie a členských států vykládat s náležitým zřetelem na vysvětlení vyhotovená pod vedením prezídia Konventu, jež vypracovalo tuto listinu, a doplněná pod vedením prezídia Evropského konventu.
Uplatňování těchto práv s sebou nese odpovědnost a povinnosti, jak ve vztahu k druhým, tak ve vztahu k lidskému společenství a budoucím generacím.
V důsledku toho uznává Unie práva, svobody a zásady, které jsou vyhlášeny níže.

    Children’s rights exist to ensure the safety and wellbeing of every child. Improved child protection systems ensure that these rights are met. In recent years, the EU has taken significant steps to improve child protection systems. This mapping of child protection systems gives an overview of the state of such systems at national level and developments since 2015. It promotes the improvement of integrated child protection systems. It is an update of FRA’s mapping of child protection systems in 2015, based on data collected in 2023 in the 27 EU Member States. By publishing this, FRA aims to support securing the sustainable well-being, safety and rights of all children living in the EU.

    All EU funds must be spent in a way that respect fundamental rights. The EU spends billions of euros on creating jobs, economic growth, sustainable development and improving people’s lives. To prevent funds from being spent in ways that directly violate people’s fundamental rights, the EU strengthened the conditions how funds can be spent in 2021. This report looks at how the newly introduced conditions related to the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities can be upheld in practice. It analyses the potential role of national human rights institutions, ombudsperson institutions and equality bodies. These safeguards can advance compliance with fundamental rights.

    Council of Europe (CoE) and European Union (EU) Member States have an undeniable sovereign right to control the entry of non-nationals into their territory. While carrying out border control, states have a duty to protect fundamental rights of all people under their jurisdiction, regardless of their nationality, status, or age. Children as a category
    of vulnerable persons with special needs require heightened protection.

    Russia’s invasion of Ukraine forced millions of people to flee. Arriving in EU countries, they received protection in EU law under the Temporary Protection Directive. Many have begun to build a new life in their host country and enrich our societies in new ways. Local authorities took the lead in ensuring access to fundamental rights under temporary protection. This report explores the measures to ensure access to housing, education, employment and healthcare in 26 cities and regional authorities across 12 EU Member States. Despite unprecedented coordination and cooperation to overcome challenges, many uncertainties remain. Longer-term solutions will be needed after the directive expires in March 2025. Based on the information collected, the report identifies 12 priority actions and builds on FRA’s bulletins and survey findings on experiences of people displaced from Ukraine.

    Online hate speech is a growing problem in today’s digitalised societies. Women, Black people, Jews and Roma are often targets of online hate speech. Online hate proliferates where human content moderators miss offensive content. Also, algorithms are prone to errors. They may multiply errors over time and may even end up promoting online hate. This report presents the challenges in identifying and detecting online hate. Hate of any kind should not be tolerated, regardless of whether it is online or offline. The report discusses the implications for fundamental rights to support creating a rights-compliant digital environment.

    Antisemitic incidents and hate crimes violate fundamental rights. This report provides an overview of antisemitic incidents in 2022. It reveals persistent gaps in the recording of antisemitism across Europe that impedes efforts to effectively counter hatred towards Jews. It covers antisemitic incidents reported in the 27 EU Member States in 2022 and includes available data of the same year from Albania, the Republic of North Macedonia and Serbia. As this is a yearly publication covering the period 01/01/2022–31/12/2022, it does not include antisemitic incidents reported in 2023. This is the 19th edition and is the only annual source of data of this nature for the EU.”

    Fundamental rights are an important consideration in European border management. Virtually all activities can have an impact on rights – from risk analysis to training, border checks and border surveillance. Safeguards in laws regulating European border management aim to protect rights. This report is a contribution to the first review of the European Border and Coast Guard Regulation (EU) 2019/1896 that offers an opportunity to reflect on how best to improve the fundamental rights situation at the external borders of the EU.

    FRA's first Being Black in the EU report exposed widespread and entrenched racism against people of African descent in Europe. Now updated with new data, this report revisits the situation revealing persistent racial discrimination, harassment and violence. Overall, experiences of racial discrimination increased in the EU countries since 2016, reaching as high as 77%. The lack of progress is alarming despite binding anti-discrimination law in the EU since 2000 and significant EU policy developments since then.
