About this website

This is fra.europa.eu, the official website of the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA). It is managed by the web team in the Agency's Communication Department, and provides a wide range of information about the FRA's work, including its research and surveys, publications, events, co-operation activities and more.

In addition to this website, the FRA also maintains two online databases of fundamental rights-related information, which are:

  • Charterpedia - a compilation of international, EU and national constitutional law structured around the Charter of Fundamental Rights
  • Case law database - a comprehensive compilation of leading case law on discrimination on various grounds in the EU Member States

We have also developed a version of the Charterpedia specially for mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones. To access it, go to the following URL on your mobile device:
