Charta der Grundrechte der Europäischen Union

Artikel 1 - Würde des Menschen

Artikel 1 - Würde des Menschen

Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar. Sie ist zu achten und zu schützen.

    • Text:

      Die Würde des Menschen ist nicht nur ein Grundrecht an sich, sondern bildet das eigentliche Fundament der Grundrechte. Die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte von 1948 verankert die Menschenwürde in ihrer Präambel: „... da die Anerkennung der allen Mitgliedern der menschlichen Familie innewohnenden Würde und ihrer gleichen und unveräußerlichen Rechte die Grundlage der Freiheit, der Gerechtigkeit und des Friedens in der Welt bildet.“ In seinem Urteil vom 9. Oktober 2001 in der Rechtssache C-377/98, Niederlande gegen Europäisches Parlament und Rat, Slg. 2001, I-7079, Randnrn. 70-77 bestätigte der Gerichtshof, dass das Grundrecht auf Menschenwürde Teil des Unionsrechts ist.

      Daraus ergibt sich insbesondere, dass keines der in dieser Charta festgelegten Rechte dazu verwendet werden darf, die Würde eines anderen Menschen zu verletzen, und dass die Würde des Menschen zum Wesensgehalt der in dieser Charta festgelegten Rechte gehört. Sie darf daher auch bei Einschränkungen eines Rechtes nicht angetastet werden.

      Preamble:
      ‘(16) Victims of terrorism have suffered attacks that are intended ultimately to harm society. They may therefore need special attention, support and protection due to the particular nature of the crime that has been committed against them. Victims of terrorism can be under significant public scrutiny and often need social recognition and respectful treatment by society. Member States should therefore take particular account of the needs of victims of terrorism, and should seek to protect their dignity and security.’
      ‘(38) [...] A main task of these services and their staff, which play an important role in supporting the victim to recover from and overcome potential harm or trauma as a result of a criminal offence, should be to inform victims about the rights set out in this Directive so that they can take decisions in a supportive environment that treats them with dignity, respect and sensitivity. The types of support that such specialist support services should offer could include providing shelter and safe accommodation, immediate medical support, referral to medical and forensic examination for evidence in cases of rape or sexual assault, short and long-term psychological counselling, trauma care, legal advice, advocacy and specific services for children as direct or indirect victims.’
      ‘(52) Measures should be available to protect the safety and dignity of victims and their family members from secondary and repeat victimisation, from intimidation and from retaliation, such as interim injunctions or protection or restraining orders.’
      Article 18 - Right to protection
      ‘Without prejudice to the rights of the defence, Member States shall ensure that measures are available to protect victims and their family members from secondary and repeat victimisation, from intimidation and from retaliation, including against the risk of emotional or psychological harm, and to protect the dignity of victims during questioning and when testifying. When necessary, such measures shall also include procedures established under national law for the physical protection of victims and their family members.’

      Preamble

      Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

      Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,

      Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law, Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,

      Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

      Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,

      Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,

      Now, therefore

      THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY

      proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.
