Charta der Grundrechte der Europäischen Union

Präambel

Die Völker Europas sind entschlossen, auf der Grundlage gemeinsamer Werte eine friedliche Zukunft zu teilen, indem sie sich zu einer immer engeren Union verbinden.

In dem Bewusstsein ihres geistig-religiösen und sittlichen Erbes gründet sich die Union auf die unteilbaren und universellen Werte der Würde des Menschen, der Freiheit, der Gleichheit und der Solidarität. Sie beruht auf den Grundsätzen der Demokratie und der Rechtsstaatlichkeit. Sie stellt den Menschen in den Mittelpunkt ihres Handelns, indem sie die Unionsbürgerschaft und einen Raum der Freiheit, der Sicherheit und des Rechts begründet.
Die Union trägt zur Erhaltung und zur Entwicklung dieser gemeinsamen Werte unter Achtung der Vielfalt der Kulturen und Traditionen der Völker Europas sowie der nationalen Identität der Mitgliedstaaten und der Organisation ihrer staatlichen Gewalt auf nationaler, regionaler und lokaler Ebene bei. Sie ist bestrebt, eine ausgewogene und nachhaltige Entwicklung zu fördern und stellt den freien Personen-, Dienstleistungs-, Waren- und Kapitalverkehr sowie die Niederlassungsfreiheit sicher.
Zu diesem Zweck ist es notwendig, angesichts der Weiterentwicklung der Gesellschaft, des sozialen Fortschritts und der wissenschaftlichen und technologischen Entwicklungen den Schutz der Grundrechte zu stärken, indem sie in einer Charta sichtbarer gemacht werden.
Diese Charta bekräftigt unter Achtung der Zuständigkeiten und Aufgaben der Union und des Subsidiaritätsprinzips die Rechte, die sich vor allem aus den gemeinsamen Verfassungstraditionen und den gemeinsamen internationalen Verpflichtungen der Mitgliedstaaten, aus der Europäischen Konvention zum Schutz der Menschenrechte und Grundfreiheiten, aus den von der Union und dem Europarat beschlossenen Sozialchartas sowie aus der Rechtsprechung des Gerichtshofs der Europäischen Union und des Europäischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte ergeben. In diesem Zusammenhang erfolgt die Auslegung der Charta durch die Gerichte der Union und der Mitgliedstaaten unter gebührender Berücksichtigung der Erläuterungen, die unter der Leitung des Präsidiums des Konvents zur Ausarbeitung der Charta formuliert und unter der Verantwortung des Präsidiums des Europäischen Konvents aktualisiert wurden.
Die Ausübung dieser Rechte ist mit Verantwortung und mit Pflichten sowohl gegenüber den Mitmenschen als auch gegenüber der menschlichen Gemeinschaft und den künftigen Generationen verbunden.
Daher erkennt die Union die nachstehend aufgeführten Rechte, Freiheiten und Grundsätze an.

    Civil society organisations struggle to maintain an environment safe from threats and attacks. FRA’s sixth annual update on civic space explores the challenges for organisations across the EU.

Abusive lawsuits and attacks against those involved in migrant search and rescue at sea are just some of the challenges identified. This report presents ways forward to protect civil society and human rights.

    Russia’s invasion of Ukraine posed new challenges for the EU. Millions were forced to flee the war. As a result of the scale of people’s displacement, the EU activated for the first time the Temporary Protection Directive (TPD). More than 1.3 million children sought international protection in the EU. This bulletin explores the respect, protection and fulfilment of the fundamental rights of displaced children and ways to safeguard their rights. The third in a series, this bulletin builds on the evidence in FRA’s Bulletin #1 and #2 on the experiences of displaced people seeking safety in the EU.

    Europe’s ageing population is ever-increasing, and our societies are becoming more digitalised. Many public services are now available online, with many more services in the process of being digitalised. But the digitalisation of public services poses a risk of exclusion for older persons. In this new report, FRA explores the impact of digitalisation on the fundamental rights of older persons. The report maps the current legislation, policies and practices fostering digital inclusion. It provides an overview of the laws at the national level that provide for equal access to public services, both online and offline. The findings show how Member States safeguard older person’s rights to access services undergoing digitalisation. It outlines how Member States can support digital skills and ensure older people can fully participate in public life.

This report examines the reasons behind the low uptake of EU long-term resident permits, despite them typically giving more rights than national long-term resident permits.
