    Across the world, human rights defenders protect and uphold human rights in some of the most challenging situations. In some countries they face worrying levels of threats and attacks, intimidation and harassment. This report outlines how human rights defenders can enter and stay in the EU when they need protection. It suggests how EU institutions and Member States could use the flexibility in existing legal provisions and provide shelter for defenders who seek protection.

    Rijec je o iznimno suvremenom skupu ljudskih prava koji sadržava brojna prava koja
    nisu ukljucena u postojece povelje o pravima, što Povelju cini vrlo dojmljivom na
    papiru. Oni upuceni u glavna nacela prava EU-a obicno mogu brzo izreci da je Povelja
    uvijek obvezujuca za EU, a za države clanice obvezujuca je samo kad „provode zakonodavstvo
    EU-a”. No što ta cesto citirana formulacija iz clanka 51. Povelje zapravo znaci?
