Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea

Preámbulo

Los pueblos de Europa, al crear entre sí una unión cada vez más estrecha, han decidido compartir un porvenir pacífico basado en valores comunes. Consciente de su patrimonio espiritual y moral, la Unión está fundada sobre los valores indivisibles y universales de la dignidad humana, la libertad, la igualdad y la solidaridad, y se basa en los principios de la democracia y el Estado de Derecho. Al instituir la ciudadanía de la Unión y crear un espacio de libertad, seguridad y justicia, sitúa a la persona en el centro de su actuación.
La Unión contribuye a defender y fomentar estos valores comunes dentro del respeto de la diversidad de culturas y tradiciones de los pueblos de Europa, así como de la identidad nacional de los Estados miembros y de la organización de sus poderes públicos a escala nacional, regional y local; trata de fomentar un desarrollo equilibrado y sostenible y garantiza la libre circulación de personas, servicios, mercancías y capitales, así como la libertad de establecimiento.
Para ello es necesario, dándoles mayor proyección mediante una Carta, reforzar la protección de los derechos fundamentales a tenor de la evolución de la sociedad, del progreso social y de los avances científicos y tecnológicos.
La presente Carta reafirma, dentro del respeto de las competencias y misiones de la Unión, así como del principio de subsidiariedad, los derechos que emanan, en particular, de las tradiciones constitucionales y las obligaciones internacionales comunes a los Estados miembros, del Convenio Europeo para la Protección de los Derechos Humanos y de las Libertades Fundamentales, las Cartas Sociales adoptadas por la Unión y por el Consejo de Europa, así como de la jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea y del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos. En este contexto, los órganos jurisdiccionales de la Unión y de los Estados miembros interpretarán la Carta atendiendo debidamente a las explicaciones elaboradas bajo la autoridad del Praesidium de la Convención que redactó la Carta y actualizadas bajo la responsabilidad del Praesidium de la Convención Europea.
El disfrute de tales derechos conlleva responsabilidades y deberes tanto respecto de los demás como de la comunidad humana y de las generaciones futuras.
En consecuencia, la Unión reconoce los derechos, libertades y principios enunciados a continuación.

These updates examine whether NHRIs are involved in monitoring compliance with fundamental rights in the use of EU funds, and how they use the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights when advising governments or carrying out education, training, and awareness-raising activities.

    In recent years, the EU has taken steps to improve child protection, yet some Member States do not have an integrated approach. FRA first produced an overview of child protection systems in the EU in 2014, and an update in 2023. The data is published in FRA’s ‘Mapping of Child Protection Systems in the EU – Update 2023’. This report completements the 2023 update with comparative analysis and provides greater detail on children in vulnerable situations, care and the participation of children in matters affecting them. It also offers guidance on creating comprehensive frameworks that ensure that children’s rights are respected.

    This FRA Position Paper outlines the Agency’s position on the creation of 'return hubs' in non-EU countries for migrants who have been ordered to leave the EU. Considering the serious fundamental rights risks connected with running return hubs, this legal analysis presents the conditions that would have to be met for return hubs to respect fundamental rights and comply with EU law. These include setting up agreements with the host countries and creating independent human rights monitoring mechanisms. The position paper does not examine centres in third countries that process asylum applications.
