Carta dei diritti fondamentali dell’Unione europea

Preambolo

I popoli d'Europa, nel creare tra loro un'unione sempre più stretta, hanno deciso di condividere un futuro di pace fondato su valori comuni. Consapevole del suo patrimonio spirituale e morale, l'Unione si fonda sui valori indivisibili e universali della dignità umana, della libertà, dell'uguaglianza e della solidarietà; essa si basa sul principio della democrazia e sul principio dello Stato di diritto. Pone la persona al centro della sua azione istituendo la cittadinanza dell'Unione e creando uno spazio di libertà, sicurezza e giustizia.
L'Unione contribuisce alla salvaguardia e allo sviluppo di questi valori comuni nel rispetto della diversità delle culture e delle tradizioni dei popoli d'Europa, nonché dell'identità nazionale degli Stati membri e dell'ordinamento dei loro pubblici poteri a livello nazionale, regionale e locale; essa si sforza di promuovere uno sviluppo equilibrato e sostenibile e assicura la libera circolazione delle persone, dei servizi, delle merci e dei capitali, nonché la libertà di stabilimento.
A tal fine è necessario rafforzare la tutela dei diritti fondamentali, alla luce dell'evoluzione della società, del progresso sociale e degli sviluppi scientifici e tecnologici, rendendo tali diritti più visibili in una Carta.
La presente Carta riafferma, nel rispetto delle competenze e dei compiti dell'Unione e del principio di sussidiarietà, i diritti derivanti in particolare dalle tradizioni costituzionali e dagli obblighi internazionali comuni agli Stati membri, dalla Convenzione europea per la salvaguardia dei Diritti dell'Uomo e delle Libertà fondamentali, dalle carte sociali adottate dall'Unione e dal Consiglio d'Europa, nonché dalla giurisprudenza della Corte di giustizia dell'Unione europea e da quella della Corte europea dei diritti dell'uomo. In tale contesto, la Carta sarà interpretata dai giudici dell'Unione e degli Stati membri tenendo in debito conto le spiegazioni elaborate sotto l'autorità del praesidium della Convenzione che ha redatto la Carta e aggiornate sotto la responsabilità del praesidium della Convenzione europea.
Il godimento di questi diritti fa sorgere responsabilità e doveri nei confronti degli altri come pure della comunità umana e delle generazioni future.
Pertanto, l'Unione riconosce i diritti, le libertà e i principi enunciati in appresso.

Abusive lawsuits and attacks against those involved in migrant search and rescue at sea are just some of the challenges identified. This report presents ways forward to protect civil society and human rights.

    Russia’s invasion of Ukraine posed new challenges for the EU. Millions were forced to flee the war. As a result of the scale of people’s displacement, the EU activated for the first time the Temporary Protection Directive (TPD).

This bulletin explores the respect, protection and fulfilment of the fundamental rights of displaced children and ways to safeguard their rights. The third in a series, this bulletin builds on the evidence in FRA’s Bulletin #1 and #2 on the experiences of displaced people seeking safety in the EU.

    Europe’s ageing population is ever-increasing, and our societies are becoming more digitalised. Many public services are now available online, with many more services in the process of being digitalised. But the digitalisation of public services poses a risk of exclusion for older persons. In this new report, FRA explores the impact of digitalisation on the fundamental rights of older persons. The report maps the current legislation, policies and practices fostering digital inclusion. It provides an overview of the laws at the national level that provide for equal access to public services, both online and offline. The findings show how Member States safeguard older person’s rights to access services undergoing digitalisation. It outlines how Member States can support digital skills and ensure older people can fully participate in public life.
