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.

    Antisemitism is still a reality for many Jewish people in the EU today. Faced with prejudice and hostility, most feel unable to live openly Jewish lives. This report presents the results of FRA’s third EU survey of Jewish people’s experiences and perceptions of antisemitism. The survey took place before the Hamas attacks in October 2023 and the war in Gaza; however, it includes evidence from a consultation with national and European Jewish umbrella organisations since. It covers 13 EU Member States that together account for around 96 % of the EU’s Jewish population.

    Effectively communicating and promoting human rights is an integral part of fulfilling fundamental rights for all. Raising awareness of the benefits of these rights to people’s lives is essential for diluting the scepticism about the role of the human rights framework in the resolution of today’s social challenges. The FRA Communication Strategy 2023-2028 defines the principal objectives and overall approach that will underpin the agency’s communication activities over the next five years, in support of the implementation of the FRA Strategic Plan 2023-2028.

    Data protection rules protect privacy and prevent personal information from misuse. When the general data protection regulation (GDPR) came into force in 2018, it strengthened the role of data protection authorities. These supervisory bodies are the key enforcers of the fundamental right of protection of personal data. This report analyses the challenges they face in the GDPR implementation. The findings complement the European Commission's forthcoming evaluation of the GDPR.

    FRA’s third LGBTIQ survey shows that people still experience hate-motivated violence and discrimination. Trans and intersex people face even greater victimisation. Yet, signs of progress show that the EU’s and Member States’ efforts can positively affect people’s lives. More LGBTIQ people are open about their sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression and sex characteristics.
