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.

    Antisemitism is still a reality for many Jewish people in the EU today. Faced with prejudice and hostility, most feel unable to live openly Jewish lives. This report presents the results of FRA’s third EU survey of Jewish people’s experiences and perceptions of antisemitism. The survey took place before the Hamas attacks in October 2023 and the war in Gaza; however, it includes evidence from a consultation with national and European Jewish umbrella organisations since. It covers 13 EU Member States that together account for around 96 % of the EU’s Jewish population.

    Effectively communicating and promoting human rights is an integral part of fulfilling fundamental rights for all. Raising awareness of the benefits of these rights to people’s lives is essential for diluting the scepticism about the role of the human rights framework in the resolution of today’s social challenges. The FRA Communication Strategy 2023-2028 defines the principal objectives and overall approach that will underpin the agency’s communication activities over the next five years, in support of the implementation of the FRA Strategic Plan 2023-2028.

    Data protection rules protect privacy and prevent personal information from misuse. When the general data protection regulation (GDPR) came into force in 2018, it strengthened the role of data protection authorities. These supervisory bodies are the key enforcers of the fundamental right of protection of personal data. This report analyses the challenges they face in the GDPR implementation. The findings complement the European Commission's forthcoming evaluation of the GDPR.

    FRA’s third LGBTIQ survey shows that people still experience hate-motivated violence and discrimination. Trans and intersex people face even greater victimisation. Yet, signs of progress show that the EU’s and Member States’ efforts can positively affect people’s lives. More LGBTIQ people are open about their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics.
