Charta základných práv Európskej únie

Preambula

Národy Európy sa rozhodli vytváraním stále užšieho zväzku zdieľať mierovú budúcnosť na základe spoločných hodnôt. Pamätajúc na svoje duchovné a morálne dedičstvo, je Únia založená na nedeliteľných a univerzálnych hodnotách ľudskej dôstojnosti, slobody, rovnosti a solidarity; je založená na zásadách demokracie a právneho štátu. Do stredobodu svojej činnosti stavia človeka, a to zavedením občianstva Únie a vytvorením priestoru slobody, bezpečnosti a spravodlivosti.
Únia prispieva k zachovaniu a rozvoju týchto spoločných hodnôt pri rešpektovaní rozmanitosti kultúr a tradícií národov Európy, ako aj národnej identity členských štátov a organizácie ich orgánov verejnej moci na ústrednej, regionálnej a miestnej úrovni; usiluje sa podporovať vyvážený a trvalo udržateľný rozvoj a zabezpečuje voľný pohyb osôb, služieb, tovaru a kapitálu, ako aj slobodu usadiť sa.
Na tento účel je potrebné posilniť ochranu základných práv s ohľadom na vývoj spoločnosti, sociálny pokrok, vedecký a technický rozvoj, a to zviditeľnením týchto práv v charte.
Rešpektujúc právomoci a úlohy Únie, ako aj dodržiavanie zásady subsidiarity, táto charta opätovne potvrdzuje práva vyplývajúce najmä z ústavných tradícií a medzinárodných záväzkov spoločných pre členské štáty, Európskeho dohovoru o ochrane ľudských práv a základných slobôd, sociálnych chárt prijatých Úniou a Radou Európy, ako aj judikatúry Súdneho dvora Európskej únie a Európskeho súdu pre ľudské práva. V tejto súvislosti budú súdy Únie a členských štátov vykladať túto chartu s náležitým zreteľom na vysvetlivky pripravené pod vedením predsedníctva Konventu, ktorý vypracoval chartu, a aktualizované pod vedením predsedníctva Európskeho konventu.
Uplatňovanie týchto práv zahŕňa zodpovednosť a povinnosti vo vzťahu k iným osobám, spoločenstvu ľudí a budúcim generáciám.
Únia z tohto dôvodu uznáva ďalej uvedené práva, slobody a zásady.

    In 2020 (until 15 December), the International Organization for Migration estimated that about 1,054 people have died or gone missing while crossing the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe to escape war or persecution or to pursue a better life. This is an average of almost three people per day. In the past years, a significant number of migrants in distress at sea have been rescued by civil society vessels deployed with a humanitarian mandate to reduce fatalities and bring rescued migrants to safety. Since 2018, however, national authorities initiated some 50 administrative and criminal proceedings against crew members or vessels, also seizing the latter. In some cases, rescue vessels were blocked in harbours due to flag issues or the inability to meet maritime safety-related and other technical requirements.

    The European Convention on Human Rights and European Union law provide an increasingly important framework for the protection of the rights of foreigners. European Union legislation relating to asylum, borders and immigration is developing fast. There is an impressive body of case law by the European Court of Human Rights relating in particular to Articles 3, 5, 8 and 13 of the ECHR. The Court of Justice of the European Union is increasingly asked to pronounce on the interpretation of European Union law provisions in this field. The third edition of this handbook, updated up to July 2020, presents this European Union legislation and the body of case law by the two European courts in an accessible way.

    Artificial intelligence (AI) already plays a role in deciding what unemployment benefits someone gets, where a burglary is likely to take place, whether someone is at risk of cancer, or who sees that catchy advertisement for low mortgage rates. Its use keeps growing, presenting seemingly endless possibilities. But we need to make sure to fully uphold fundamental rights standards when using AI. This report presents concrete examples of how companies and public administrations in the EU are using, or trying to use, AI. It focuses on four core areas – social benefits, predictive policing, health services and targeted advertising.

    This report looks at fundamental rights compliance at the European Union (EU)’s external land borders, including rivers and lakes. On 30 January 2020, the European Parliament requested the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) to prepare a report on these borders. It noted that the report should focus on the correct application of the safeguards in the European asylum acquis and the provisions of the Schengen Borders Code (Regulation (EU) 2016/399).

    Roma and Travellers living in western EU countries are less often in the limelight than those living in central, eastern and southern EU countries. While they represent a smaller proportion of the population in the west, they also face problems with social exclusion, marginalisation and discrimination. These country sheets present findings from the survey conducted by FRA in 2019 covering Roma and Travellers populations in Belgium, France, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The survey included interviews with almost 4,700 Roma and Travellers, collecting information on more than 8,200 individuals living in their households.

    The EU Fundamental Rights Agency published in 2019 its report on the ‘Integration of young refugees in the EU’. The report explored the challenges of young people who fled armed conflict or persecution and arrived in the EU in 2015 and 2016. The report is based on 426 interviews with experts working in the area of asylum and integration, as well as 163 interviews with young people, aged 16 to 24, conducted between October 2017 and June 2018 in 15 regions and cities located in six Member States: Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy and Sweden. The links on this page provide a summary of the information collected during this period for each country about unaccompanied children turning 18 and the change in people’s legal status once international protection is granted. These two issues had at the time been identified as moments requiring sufficient, consistent and systematic support, particularly from lawyers, social workers and guardians, to ensure successful integration.
