Tógadh céimeanna chun tosaigh agus céimeanna siar araon i ndáil le cosaint ceart bunúsach sa bhliain 2017. Déantar athbhreithniú sa Tuarascáil um Chearta Bunúsacha 2018 ó FRA ar na mórfhorbairtí san earnáil, agus sainaithnítear inti freisin na héachtaí a baineadh amach agus na rudaí ar ábhair imní iad go fóill.
We live in a world of big data, where technological developments in the area of machine learning and artificial intelligence have changed the way we live. Decisions and processes concerning everyday life are increasingly automated, based on data. This affects fundamental rights in various ways. This focus paper specifically deals with discrimination, a fundamental rights area particularly affected by technological developments.
The rapid development of information technology has exacerbated the need for robust personal data protection, the right to which is safeguarded by both European Union (EU) and Council of Europe (CoE) instruments. Safeguarding this important right entails new and significant challenges as technological advances expand the frontiers of areas such as surveillance, communication interception and data storage. This handbook is designed to familiarise legal practitioners not specialised in data protection with this emerging area of the law.
L’évolution rapide des technologies de l’information souligne la nécessité d’une protection
solide des données à caractère personnel, un droit qui est garanti à la fois par les instruments de
l’Union européenne (UE) et du Conseil de l’Europe (CdE). Les avancées technologiques repoussent
notamment les frontières de la surveillance, de l’interception des communications et de la
conservation des données, ce qui met le droit à la protection des données face à des défis
majeurs. Le présent manuel est conçu de façon à permettre aux praticiens du droit qui ne sont pas
spécialisés dans la protection des données de se familiariser avec ce nouveau domaine du droit.
Il présente un aperçu des cadres légaux applicables de l’UE et du CdE. Il explique la jurisprudence
essentielle et résume les principaux arrêts de la Cour de justice de l’Union européenne et de
la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme. Il propose, en outre, des illustrations pratiques
basées sur des scénarios hypothétiques des divers problèmes rencontrés dans ce domaine en
évolution constante.
Civil society organisations in the European Union play a crucial role in promoting fundamental
rights, but it has become harder for them do so – due to both legal and practical restrictions.
This summary outlines the main
findings and FRA’s opinions on the different
types and patterns of challenges faced by civil society
organisations across the EU,
Au sein de l’Union européenne, les OSC jouent un rôle crucial dans la promotion des droits
fondamentaux, mais il leur est désormais plus difficile d’assumer ce rôle en raison de restrictions
d’ordre à la fois juridique et pratique.
Le rapport de la l’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne (FRA) se penche
par conséquent sur les différents types de difficultés rencontrées par les OSC actives dans
le domaine des droits de l’homme au sein de l’Union européenne.
With terrorism, cyber-attacks and sophisticated cross-border criminal networks posing growing threats, the work of intelligence services has become more urgent, complex and international. Such work can strongly interfere with fundamental rights, especially privacy and data protection. While continuous technological advances potentially exacerbate the threat of such interference, effective oversight and remedies can curb the potential for abuse.
La persistance de la menace terroriste à un niveau élevé, la constitution de
réseaux criminels transnationaux sur le territoire de l’Union européenne, mais
également les conséquences des ingérences d’origine étatique de nature diverse
et le durcissement des modes opératoires hostiles dans l’espace cyber représentent
des enjeux de sécurité nationale d’importance majeure pour les États
membres ; la prévention de ces menaces peut reposer sur la mise en oeuvre,
par des services de renseignement, de mesures de surveillance attentatoires
aux libertés. Parallèlement, le développement continu des progrès techniques
accroit les capacités d’ingérences dans la vie privée des personnes.
This report outlines Member States’ approaches to age requirements and limits
regarding child participation in judicial proceedings; procedural safeguards for, and rights of, children involved in criminal
proceedings; as well as issues related to depriving children of their liberty.
The right to access justice and all other relevant procedural rights are not just rights in themselves; they also protect against violations of every other right. Respect for children’s rights in the area of justice is therefore essential. International treaties, the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, European Union (EU) secondary law, and national legislation provide a number of relevant rights.
This Opinion by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) aims to inform the European Parliament position concerning legislative proposals on interoperability between EU information technology systems (IT systems) presented on 12 December 2017 and currently discussed by the EU legislators.
This report outlines the fundamental rights implications of collecting, storing and using
biometric and other data in EU IT systems in the area of asylum and migration.
European non-discrimination law, as constituted in particular by the EU non-discrimination directives, and Article 14 of and Protocol 12 to the European Convention on Human Rights, prohibits discrimination across a range of contexts and grounds. This handbook examines European non-discrimination law stemming from these two sources as complementary systems, drawing on them interchangeably to the extent that they overlap, while highlighting differences where these exist.
Civil society organisations in the European Union play a crucial role in promoting fundamental rights, but it has become harder for them to do so – due to both legal and practical restrictions. This report looks at the different types and patterns of challenges faced by civil society organisations working on human rights in the EU.
Mario Oetheimer presented FRA’s second surveillance report to the European Parliament’s Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) Committee on 21 November in Brussels.
This is the recording of the online press briefing about mass surveillance as presented by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) on 16 October 2017.
FRA’s Second European Union Minorities and Discrimination Survey surveys around 26,000 individuals from different ethnic minority and immigrant backgrounds across all 28 EU Member States. This technical report presents a detailed overview of the research methods used by FRA when collecting the survey data.
This report is FRA’s second publication addressing a European Parliament request for in-depth research on the impact of surveillance on fundamental rights. It updates FRA’s 2015 legal analysis on the topic, and supplements that analysis with field-based insights gained from extensive interviews with diverse experts in intelligence and related fields, including its oversight.
