EU's charter om grundlæggende rettigheder

Præambel

De europæiske folk har med skabelsen af en stadig tættere sammenslutning besluttet at dele en fredelig fremtid, der bygger på fælles værdier.

Unionen, der er sig sin åndelige og etiske arv bevidst, bygger på de udelelige og universelle værdier: menneskets værdighed, frihed, lighed og solidaritet; den bygger på demokrati- og retsstatsprincippet. Den sætter mennesket i centrum for sit virke med indførelsen af unionsborgerskabet og skabelsen af et område med frihed, sikkerhed og retfærdighed.
Unionen bidrager til bevarelsen og udviklingen af disse fælles værdier under hensyn til de europæiske folks forskelligartede kulturer og traditioner samt til medlemsstaternes nationale identitet og organisering af deres offentlige myndigheder på nationalt, regionalt og lokalt plan; den søger at fremme en afbalanceret og bæredygtig udvikling og sikrer fri bevægelighed for personer, tjenesteydelser, varer og kapital samt etableringsfrihed.
Med henblik herpå er det nødvendigt at styrke beskyttelsen af de grundlæggende rettigheder på baggrund af samfundsudviklingen, de sociale fremskridt og den videnskabelige og teknologiske udvikling ved at gøre disse rettigheder mere synlige i et charter.
Dette charter bekræfter under hensyn til Unionens kompetencer og opgaver samt nærhedsprincippet de rettigheder, der bl.a. følger af medlemsstaternes fælles forfatningsmæssige traditioner og internationale forpligtelser, den europæiske konvention til beskyttelse af menneskerettigheder og grundlæggende frihedsrettigheder, de socialpagter, som Unionen og Europarådet har vedtaget, samt Den Europæiske Unions Domstols og Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedsdomstols retspraksis. Chartret vil i den forbindelse blive fortolket af Unionens og medlemsstaternes domstole under behørig hensyntagen til de forklaringer, der blev udarbejdet under præsidiet for den forsamling, der udarbejdede chartret, og ajourført under Det Europæiske Konvents præsidiums ansvar.
Disse rettigheder medfører ansvar og pligter såvel over for andre mennesker som over for det menneskelige fællesskab og de kommende generationer.
Unionen anerkender således nedennævnte rettigheder, friheder og principper.

    National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) play an important role in providing independent human rights protection in EU Member States. Since 2020, the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) has been tracking the accreditation status and mandates of NHRIs across the EU. The 2025 annual update continues this work. These updates examine whether NHRIs are involved in monitoring compliance with fundamental rights in the use of EU funds, and how they use the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights when advising governments or carrying out education, training, and awareness-raising activities.

    In recent years, the EU has taken steps to improve child protection, yet some Member States do not have an integrated approach. FRA first produced an overview of child protection systems in the EU in 2014, and an update in 2023. The data is published in FRA’s ‘Mapping of Child Protection Systems in the EU – Update 2023’. This report completements the 2023 update with comparative analysis and provides greater detail on children in vulnerable situations, care and the participation of children in matters affecting them. It also offers guidance on creating comprehensive frameworks that ensure that children’s rights are respected.

    This FRA Position Paper outlines the Agency’s position on the creation of 'return hubs' in non-EU countries for migrants who have been ordered to leave the EU. Considering the serious fundamental rights risks connected with running return hubs, this legal analysis presents the conditions that would have to be met for return hubs to respect fundamental rights and comply with EU law. These include setting up agreements with the host countries and creating independent human rights monitoring mechanisms. The position paper does not examine centres in third countries that process asylum applications.
