Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea

Artículo 5 - Prohibición de la esclavitud y del trabajo forzado

Artículo 5 - Prohibición de la esclavitud y del trabajo forzado

1. Nadie podrá ser sometido a esclavitud o servidumbre.

2. Nadie podrá ser constreñido a realizar un trabajo forzado u obligatorio.

3. Se prohíbe la trata de seres humanos.

  • Text:

    1. El derecho inscrito en los apartados 1 y 2 del artículo 5 corresponde a los apartados 1 y 2 del artículo 4 del CEDH, de análogo tenor. Tiene por lo tanto el mismo sentido y alcance que este último artículo, con arreglo al apartado 3 del artículo 52 de la Carta. Como consecuencia de ello,
    - el derecho previsto en el apartado 1 no puede estar sometido de forma legítima a ningún tipo de restricción;
    - las nociones de `trabajo forzado u obligatorio` del apartado 2 deben entenderse teniendo en cuenta las definiciones `negativas` que contiene el apartado 3 del artículo 4 del CEDH:
    `No se considera como `trabajo forzado u obligatorio` en el sentido del presente artículo:
    a) todo trabajo exigido normalmente a una persona privada de libertad en las condiciones previstas por el artículo 5 del presente Convenio, o durante su libertad condicional;
    b) todo servicio de carácter militar o, en el caso de objetores de conciencia en los países en que la objeción de conciencia sea reconocida como legítima, cualquier otro servicio sustitutivo del servicio militar obligatorio;
    c) todo servicio exigido cuando alguna emergencia o calamidad amenacen la vida o el bienestar de la comunidad;
    d) todo trabajo o servicio que forme parte de las obligaciones cívicas normales.`
    2. El apartado 3 se deriva directamente de la dignidad de la persona humana y tiene en cuenta las recientes tendencias en el ámbito de la delincuencia organizada tales como la organización de redes lucrativas de inmigración clandestina o de explotación sexual. En el anexo del Convenio Europol figura la definición siguiente referida a la trata de seres humanos con fines de explotación sexual: `Trata de seres humanos: El acto de someter a una persona al poder real e ilegal de otras personas mediante la violencia o mediante amenazas o abusando de una relación de autoridad o mediante engaño, en particular con vistas a la explotación de la prostitución ajena, a formas de explotación y de violencias sexuales respecto de menores de edad o al comercio ligado al abandono de niños.` En el capítulo VI del Convenio de aplicación del Acuerdo de Schengen, integrado en el acervo de la Unión, en el que participan el Reino Unido e Irlanda, figura en el apartado 1 del artículo 27 la formulación siguiente referida a las redes de inmigración ilegal: `Las Partes contratantes se comprometen a establecer sanciones adecuadas contra cualquier persona que, con fines lucrativos, ayude o intente ayudar a un extranjero a entrar o a permanecer en el territorio de una Parte contratante quebrantando la legislación de dicha Parte contratante sobre entrada y estancia de extranjeros.` El 19 de julio de 2002, el Consejo adoptó una Decisión marco relativa a la lucha contra la trata de seres humanos (DO L 203 de 1.8.2002, p. 1), y en el artículo 1 de dicha Decisión marco se establecen específicamente las infracciones relacionadas con la trata de seres humanos con fines de explotación laboral o sexual, cuya punibilidad deben garantizar los Estados miembros en aplicación de dicha Decisión marco.
