    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.

    Als een zeer actuele mensenrechtencatalogus die vele rechten omvat die in erkende
    grondrechtenverklaringen niet terug te vinden zijn, ziet het Handvest er op papier zeer
    goed uit. Wie vertrouwd is met de belangrijkste beginselen van EU-recht, kan doorgaans
    snel vertellen dat het Handvest altijd bindend is voor de EU, en voor de lidstaten
    enkel bindend is “wanneer zij het recht van de Unie ten uitvoer brengen”. Maar wat
    betekent deze vaak genoemde formulering uit artikel 51 van het Handvest precies?

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.
Grondrechten zijn de elementaire rechten en vrijheden die aan iedereen in de EU toekomen. Deze rechten zijn overal gelijk, ongeacht waar u vandaan komt, wat u gelooft of hoe u leeft.
Het platform voor de grondrechten is het kanaal van FRA voor samenwerking en uitwisseling van informatie met maatschappelijke organisaties die zich bezighouden met de grondrechten in de EU.
Het Bureau werkt samen met de Verenigde Naties (VN), de Organisatie voor Veiligheid en Samenwerking in Europa (OVSE), de Raad van Europa en andere internationale organisaties. Deze samenwerking is opgenomen in de oprichtingsverordening van FRA en behelst raadpleging van deskundigen, conferenties en seminars evenals het delen van gegevens en informatie. Samenwerking creëert synergieën en optimaliseert middelen, zodat dubbel werk wordt vermeden. Tevens wordt met samenwerking gewaarborgd dat de werkzaamheden van de verschillende organisaties complementair zijn, zodat hun aanbevelingen en advies beter op elkaar zijn afgestemd.

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.
