Charte des droits fondamentaux de l'Union européenne

Préambule

Les peuples d'Europe, en établissant entre eux une union sans cesse plus étroite, ont décidé de partager un avenir pacifique fondé sur des valeurs communes. Consciente de son patrimoine spirituel et moral, l'Union se fonde sur les valeurs indivisibles et universelles de dignité humaine, de liberté, d'égalité et de solidarité; elle repose sur le principe de la démocratie et le principe de l'État de droit. Elle place la personne au coeur de son action en instituant la citoyenneté de l'Union et en créant un espace de liberté, de sécurité et de justice.
L'Union contribue à la préservation et au développement de ces valeurs communes dans le respect de la diversité des cultures et des traditions des peuples d'Europe, ainsi que de l'identité nationale des États membres et de l'organisation de leurs pouvoirs publics aux niveaux national, régional et local; elle cherche à promouvoir un développement équilibré et durable et assure la libre circulation des personnes, des services, des marchandises et des capitaux, ainsi que la liberté d'établissement.
À cette fin, il est nécessaire, en les rendant plus visibles dans une Charte, de renforcer la protection des droits fondamentaux à la lumière de l'évolution de la société, du progrès social et des développements scientifiques et technologiques.
La présente Charte réaffirme, dans le respect des compétences et des tâches de l'Union, ainsi que du principe de subsidiarité, les droits qui résultent notamment des traditions constitutionnelles et des obligations internationales communes aux États membres, de la Convention européenne de sauvegarde des droits de l'Homme et des libertés fondamentales, des Chartes sociales adoptées par l'Union et par le Conseil de l'Europe, ainsi que de la jurisprudence de la Cour de justice de l'Union européenne et de la Cour européenne des droits de l'Homme. Dans ce contexte, la Charte sera interprétée par les juridictions de l'Union et des États membres en prenant dûment en considération les explications établies sous l'autorité du praesidium de la Convention qui a élaboré la Charte et mises à jour sous la responsabilité du praesidium de la Convention européenne.
La jouissance de ces droits entraîne des responsabilités et des devoirs tant à l'égard d'autrui qu'à l'égard de la communauté humaine et des générations futures.
En conséquence, l'Union reconnaît les droits, les libertés et les principes énoncés ci-après.

    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.

The fundamental rights of long-term residents in the EU are explored through this report, focussing on the Long-Term Residence Directive. EU long-term resident status includes rights to move and reside in other EU Member States. 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.
