Listina základních práv EU

Preambule

Národy Evropy, vytvářejíce mezi sebou stále těsnější unii, se rozhodly sdílet mírovou budoucnost založenou na společných hodnotách.

Unie, vědoma si svého duchovního a morálního dědictví, se zakládá na nedělitelných a všeobecných hodnotách lidské důstojnosti, svobody, rovnosti a solidarity; spočívá na zásadách demokracie a právního státu. Do středu své činnosti staví jednotlivce tím, že zavádí občanství Unie a vytváří prostor svobody, bezpečnosti a práva.
Unie přispívá k zachování a rozvíjení těchto společných hodnot při současném respektování rozmanitosti kultur a tradic národů Evropy, národní identity členských států a uspořádání jejich veřejné moci na státní, regionální a místní úrovni; usiluje o podporu vyváženého a udržitelného rozvoje a zajišťuje volný pohyb osob, služeb, zboží a kapitálu, jakož i svobodu usazování.
K tomuto účelu je nezbytné posílit ochranu základních práv s ohledem na společenský vývoj, sociální pokrok a vědeckotechnologický rozvoj zřetelnějším vyjádřením těchto práv v podobě listiny.
Při respektování pravomocí a úkolů Unie i zásady subsidiarity potvrzuje tato listina práva, která vyplývají především z ústavních tradic a mezinárodních závazků společných členským státům, z Evropské úmluvy o ochraně lidských práv a základních svobod, ze sociálních chart přijatých Unií a Radou Evropy a z judikatury Soudního dvora Evropské unie a Evropského soudu pro lidská práva. Tuto listinu budou v této souvislosti soudy Unie a členských států vykládat s náležitým zřetelem na vysvětlení vyhotovená pod vedením prezídia Konventu, jež vypracovalo tuto listinu, a doplněná pod vedením prezídia Evropského konventu.
Uplatňování těchto práv s sebou nese odpovědnost a povinnosti, jak ve vztahu k druhým, tak ve vztahu k lidskému společenství a budoucím generacím.
V důsledku toho uznává Unie práva, svobody a zásady, které jsou vyhlášeny níže.

    Online terrorist content is a threat to fundamental rights, rule of law and democracy. EU measures to tackle such content aim to prevent terrorism while upholding these values. FRA’s report looks at how online terrorist content is detected and removed under EU legislation. It highlights challenges in interpreting rules, risks of over-removal and potential impacts on freedom of expression. It finds that moderation practices by authorities and platforms can disproportionately affect certain groups, such as Muslims and Arabic speakers, while far-right content often receives less scrutiny. The findings, based on research and expert interviews with those addressing online terrorist content, offer ways to improve transparency in content moderation and to better balance public security and fundamental rights, contributing to wider debates on regulating online content responsibly.

    This report examines how human rights impact assessments (HRIAs) are built into lawmaking across the EU and its Member States. It highlights that, although progress has been made, the use of HRIAs remains uneven and often superficial. In many EU countries, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights is frequently overlooked. The report identifies insufficient consultation with external experts, limited stakeholder participation and a lack of evaluation once laws are in force. To address these gaps, it offers practical recommendations for more systematic, inclusive and evidence-based HRIAs that strengthen human rights protection and ensure better, more accountable legislation throughout the EU.

    Artificial Intelligence comes with both benefits and risks. Safe AI use that accounts for fundamental rights is thus crucial. While the 2024 EU AI Act was a milestone in this regard, its broad definitions regarding AI systems and high-risk AI could introduce loopholes for fundamental rights compliance. This report offers an empirical basis for much-needed practical guidance on the Act’s implementation. Based on interviews with AI developers, sellers, and users, FRA addresses challenges of its use in critical domains, like asylum, education, and employment. Our findings help guide next steps in realising the AI Act’s potential to ensure responsible innovation.

    FRA analysed 31 digital tools and systems across seven EU Member States, exploring potential positive and negative effects on victims, claimants and defendants. By identifying risks early, investing in skills and training, and embedding protections from the outset, policymakers and practitioners can build effective and inclusive justice systems. This report provides practical suggestions to help ensure that digitalised justice systems are accessible and deliver fair outcomes for all.
