    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.

    This report proposes a framework for becoming, and functioning as, a ‘human rights city’ in the EU. It includes ‘foundations’, ‘structures’ and ‘tools’ for mayors, local administrations and grassroots organisations to reinforce fundamental rights locally. It is based on existing good practice and expert input by representatives of human rights cities in the EU, academic experts, international organisations and city networks.

    Essendo un catalogo dei diritti umani molto moderno, che contiene molti diritti non
    reperibili nelle carte dei diritti consolidate, la Carta sembra davvero buona a livello
    teorico. Coloro che conoscono i principi fondamentali del diritto dell’UE possono di
    solito recitare rapidamente che la Carta è sempre vincolante per l’UE e per gli Stati
    membri solo quando «attuano il diritto dell’UE». Ma che cosa significa in realtà questa
    espressione spesso citata dall’articolo 51 della Carta?

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.
I diritti fondamentali sono i diritti e le libertà fondamentali che appartengono a tutti nell’UE. Sono gli stessi a prescindere dalla provenienza, dal credo e dallo stile di vita di una persona.
La piattaforma dei diritti fondamentali (FRP) rappresenta il canale della FRA per la cooperazione e lo scambio di informazioni con le organizzazioni della società civile che si occupano di diritti fondamentali nell'UE.
L'agenzia collabora con le Nazioni Unite (ONU), l'Organizzazione per la sicurezza e la cooperazione in Europa (OSCE), il Consiglio d'Europa e altre organizzazioni internazionali. Questa cooperazione rientra nel regolamento istitutivo della FRA e comprende consultazioni di esperti, conferenze e seminari, nonché la condivisione di dati e informazioni. La cooperazione crea sinergie e ottimizza le risorse in modo da evitare la duplicazione del lavoro. Contribuisce inoltre a garantire che il lavoro delle diverse organizzazioni sia complementare, in modo che le raccomandazioni e i consigli siano maggiormente allineati.

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.
