    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.

    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.

    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.

    The European Convention on Human Rights and European Union law provide an increasingly important framework for the protection of the rights of foreigners. EU legislation relating to asylum, borders and immigration is developing fast. There is an impressive body of case law by the European Court of Human Rights relating in particular to Articles 3, 5, 8 and 13 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The Court of Justice of the European Union is asked more and more frequently to pronounce on the interpretation of EU law provisions in this field. The fourth edition of this handbook, updated to June 2026, presents this EU
    legislation and the body of case law by the two European courts in an accessible way. A new chapter in the handbook focuses on monitoring compliance with fundamental rights and investigations into rights violations. It is intended for legal practitioners, judges, prosecutors, immigration officials and non-governmental organisations in the EU and Council of Europe Member States.

    The ability to communicate freely and privately online is protected under Article 7 of the EU Charter; it is a crucial enabler of other fundamental rights, particularly as the world becomes increasingly digital. This paper presents results from an EU-wide survey about people’s views on encryption of their private online communication. It looks, for example, at concern regarding access by outside actors to information shared when using private messaging applications. The results indicate that people highly value encryption and at the same time have concerns about online communications being accessed without their knowledge or permission. It provides a timely evidence base to shape policy discussions on internal security and digital privacy.

    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.
