    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. While there has been significant development since FRA began monitoring the situation in 2018, civil society organisations remain under immense pressure. 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.

    En efecto, la Carta se percibe a priori como un catálogo muy innovador al incorporar numerosos derechos no incluidos en otras cartas de derechos ya consolidadas. Normalmente, quienes se encuentren familiarizados con los principios básicos del Derecho de la Unión recordarán enseguida que la Carta vincula en todo momento a la UE y que únicamente vincula a los Estados miembros cuando «apliquen el Derecho de la Unión». Pero ¿qué significan en realidad estos términos del artículo 51 de la Carta, que tan a menudo se citan?

The European Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) conducted European-wide research in 2009 on the contribution of memorial sites to Holocaust education and human rights education in the European Union (EU). This summary report, derived from the main report 'Discover the past for the future. The role of historical sites and museums in Holocaust education and human rights education in the EU', provides selected findings, discussion points and recommendations.
Los derechos fundamentales son los derechos y las libertades básicos que pertenecen a todos en la UE. Son los mismos, con independencia del lugar de donde seas, en qué creas o cómo vivas.
La Plataforma de Derechos Fundamentales es el canal de cooperación e intercambio de información de la FRA con las organizaciones de la sociedad civil que trabajan en el ámbito de los derechos fundamentales en la UE.
La Agencia coopera con las Naciones Unidas, la Organización para la Seguridad y la Cooperación en Europa (OSCE), el Consejo de Europa y otras organizaciones internacionales. Esta cooperación forma parte del Reglamento por el que se creó la FRA e incluye consultas de expertos, conferencias y seminarios, así como la puesta en común de datos e información. La cooperación crea sinergias y optimiza los recursos para evitar la duplicación del trabajo. También ayuda a garantizar que el trabajo de las diferentes organizaciones se complemente entre sí, de manera que las recomendaciones y los consejos están sean más armónicos.

Despite the underlying importance and centrality of the right to data protection in the EU, many deficiencies are present in the data protection system. This study on data protection identifies deficiencies in the EU Member States.
