    Cross-border child abduction ECtHR and CJEU Case-Law - Joint Factsheet

    This factsheet examines case law on cross-border child abduction, meaning the unlawful removal of a child from one EU Member State to another. Jointly published by the European Court of Human Rights and the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights, it explains how courts handle issues where EU law and human rights law overlap. It highlights key court decisions from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) to show how these two legal systems work together on issues of child abduction and prioritising the best interests of the child.

    Pflege und Betreuungseinrechtungen= Sichere Orte? Gewalt gegen Menschen mit Behinderungen in Einrichtungen: Wichtigste Ergebnisse und Stellungnahmen der FRA

    Gewalt gegen Menschen mit Behinderung in Einrichtungen ist nach wie vor weit verbreitet, wird aber in ganz Europa kaum gemeldet. Gewalttaten umfassen ein breites Spektrum ausbeuterischer, missbräuchlicher und erniedrigender Handlungen, die gegen die Verpflichtungen der Europäischen Union (EU) und der EU-Mitgliedstaaten gemäß internationalen und europäischen Menschenrechtsnormen verstoßen. Der Schutz vor Gewalt basiert auf dem Übereinkommen der Vereinten Nationen über die Rechte von Menschen mit Behinderungen (im Folgenden „Behindertenrechtskonvention“), dem wichtigsten Menschenrechtsvertrag für die gleichberechtigte Wahrnehmung aller Menschenrechte und Grundfreiheiten durch Menschen mit Behinderung.

    Mjesta skrbi = sigurna mjesta? Nasilje nad osobama s invaliditetom u ustanovama

    Nasilje nad osobama s invaliditetom u ustanovama i dalje je rašireno, ali se o njemu u pravilu nedovoljno izvještava u cijeloj Europi. Nasilje uključuje širok spektar izrabljivanja te zlonamjernih i ponižavajućih postupaka koji su u suprotnosti s obvezama Europske unije (EU) i njenih država članica preuzetih na temelju međunarodnog prava prava i propisa EU-a u području ljudskih prava. Zaštita od nasilja temelji se na Konvenciji UN-a o pravima osoba s invaliditetom (UN KPOSI), primarnom međunarodnom ugovoru o ljudskim pravima za ravnopravno uživanje svih ljudskih prava i temeljnih sloboda svih osoba s invaliditetom.

    I luoghi di assistenza sono luoghi sicuri? La violenza contro le persone con disabilità negli istituti: Risultati principali e pareri della FRA

    Pur rimanendo un fenomeno diffuso, la violenza contro le persone con disabilità negli istituti è largamente sottostimata in Europa. Gli atti di violenza comprendono un ampio spettro di atti degradanti, di sfruttamento e abuso che violano gli obblighi dell’Unione europea (UE) e degli Stati membri dell’UE ai sensi del diritto internazionale ed europeo in materia di diritti umani. La protezione contro la violenza si fonda sulla Convenzione delle Nazioni Unite sui diritti delle persone con disabilità (CRPD), il principale trattato in materia di diritti umani che garantisce il pari godimento di tutti i diritti umani e di tutte le libertà fondamentali da parte delle persone con disabilità.

    Aprūpes vietas = drošas vietas? Vardarbība pret personām ar invaliditāti aprūpes iestādēs : Būtiskākie secinājumi un FRA atzinumi

    Vardarbība pret personām ar invaliditāti aprūpes iestādēs joprojām ir plaši izplatīta, taču Eiropā par to tiek ziņots nepietiekami. Vardarbīga rīcība ietver plašu ekspluatējošas, ļaunprātīgas un pazemojošas rīcības spektru, kas ir pretrunā Eiropas Savienības (ES) un ES dalībvalstu pienākumiem saskaņā ar starptautiskajām un Eiropas cilvēktiesībām. Aizsardzība pret vardarbību ir balstīta uz ANO Konvenciju par personu ar invaliditāti tiesībām (CRPD), kas ir primārais cilvēktiesību līgums, lai personas ar invaliditāti varētu vienlīdzīgi izmantot visas cilvēktiesības un pamatbrīvības.

    Miejsca opieki = miejsca bezpieczeństwa? Przemoc wobec osób z niepełnosprawnościami w placówkach opiekuńczych : Najważniejsze ustalenia i opinie FRA

    Przemoc wobec osób z niepełnosprawnościami w placówkach opiekuńczych jest nadal szeroko rozpowszechniona w całej Europie i w większości przypadków jest niedostatecznie zgłaszana. Akty przemocy obejmują szeroki zakres działań polegających na wykorzystywaniu, znęcaniu się i poniżaniu, które są sprzeczne ze zobowiązaniami Unii Europejskiej (UE) i państw członkowskich UE wynikającymi z międzynarodowego i europejskiego prawa dotyczącego praw człowieka. Ochrona przed przemocą opiera się na Konwencji ONZ o prawach osób niepełnosprawnych, która jest podstawowym traktatem dotyczącym praw człowieka, zapewniającym osobom z niepełnosprawnościami równe korzystanie ze wszystkich praw człowieka i podstawowych wolności.

    Locais de acolhimento = locais de segurança? Violência contra as pessoas com deficiência nas instituições : Principais conclusões e pareceres da FRA

    A violência contra as pessoas com deficiência nas instituições continua a ser generalizada, mas muito pouco denunciada em toda a Europa. Os atos de violência incluem um vasto leque de atos exploratórios, abusivos e degradantes que violam as obrigações da União Europeia (UE) e dos Estados-Membros da UE ao abrigo do direito internacional e europeu em matéria de direitos humanos. A proteção contra a violência baseia-se na Convenção das Nações Unidas sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência (CNUDPD), o principal tratado de direitos humanos para o gozo igualitário de todos os direitos humanos e liberdades fundamentais pelas pessoas com deficiência.

    Miesta, kde sa poskytuje starostlivosť = bezpečné miesta? Násilie voči osobám so zdravotným postihnutím v zariadeniach inštitucionálnej starostlivosti : Kľúčové zistenia a stanoviská FRA

    Násilie voči osobám so zdravotným postihnutím v zariadeniach inštitucionálnej starostlivosti stále existuje, ale na území celej Európy je z veľkej časti nedostatočne nahlasované. Akty násilia zahŕňajú široké spektrum vykorisťujúcich, násilných a ponižujúcich činov, ktoré sú v rozpore s povinnosťami Európskej únie (EÚ) a členských štátov EÚ podľa medzinárodného a európskeho práva v oblasti ľudských práv. Ochrana pred násilím je zakotvená v Dohovore Organizácie Spojených národov (OSN) o právach osôb so zdravotným postihnutím (UNCRPD), primárnej zmluve o ľudských právach, na základe ktorej osoby so zdravotným postihnutím môžu na rovnocennom základe uplatňovať všetky ľudské práva a základné slobody.

    Ali so kraji socialnovarstvene oskrbe tudi varni kraji? Nasilje nad invalidi v socialnovarstvenih zavodih: Ključne ugotovitve in mnenja Agencije EU za temeljne pravice (FRA)

    Nasilje nad invalidi v socialnovarstvenih zavodih je po vsej Evropi še vedno zelo razširjeno, vendar se o njem večinoma premalo poroča. Nasilna dejanja vključujejo najrazličnejša izkoriščevalska, zlonamerna in ponižujoča dejanja, ki so v nasprotju z obveznostmi Evropske unije (EU) in držav članic EU na podlagi mednarodnega in evropskega prava o človekovih pravicah. Zaščita pred nasiljem temelji na Konvenciji Združenih narodov o pravicah invalidov, ki je glavni sporazum o človekovih pravicah za enakopravno uživanje vseh človekovih pravic in temeljnih svoboščin invalidov.

    Operationalising the Pact on Migration and Asylum: Experiences from the hotspot approach

    In response to increased arrivals of asylum seekers, in 2015 the European Commission introduced the hotspot approach. Under this approach, the European Commission and EU agencies supported Greece and Italy in identifying, registering and fingerprinting newly arrived people. FRA regularly visited the initial reception facilities hosting them. This report looks back at the lessons learnt from 10 years of FRA visits. It identifies recurring risks to rights and highlights practical measures and promising practices to prevent or address them. These ‘lessons learnt’ can inform the implementation of the 2024 Pact on Migration and Asylum in line with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.

    Seeking Safety from War – Violence and rights abuses against women from Ukraine

    The start of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine on 24 February 2022 shocked the global community and gave rise to a
    series of urgent fundamental rights challenges across Europe. While much attention has focused on the scale of devastation and its wider impact on all Ukrainians, the war has also inflicted profound personal harm. This report sheds light on the violence, sexual harassment and exploitation experienced by women displaced from Ukraine. Drawing on a survey and in-depth interviews with women from Ukraine, the report documents the prevalence, forms and patterns of gender-based violence and sets out practical measures to improve safety, access to justice and support.

    Regulating online terrorist content – Balancing public safety and fundamental rights

    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.
