Direttiva (UE) 2017/541 sulla lotta contro il terrorismo - Impatto sui diritti e sulle libertà fondamentali - Sintesi

Gli atti di terrorismo rappresentano una grave minaccia per la vita e l’incolumità delle persone e una profonda sfida per gli Stati in materia di sicurezza. Al tempo stesso, la legislazione, le politiche e le altre misure antiterrorismo possono comportare, direttamente o indirettamente, gravi limitazioni ai diritti fondamentali e possono ripercuotersi negativamente sugli individui, sui gruppi e sulla società nel suo insieme. Questa sintesi presenta i principali risultati della FRA derivanti dalla sua relazione sulla direttiva (UE) 2017/541 sulla lotta contro il terrorismo, il principale strumento penale a livello UE nel campo della lotta contro il terrorismo.

Sorveglianza da parte dei servizi di intelligence: garanzie dei diritti fondamentali e mezzi di ricorso nell’Unione europea (volume II) - Sintesi

Con il terrorismo, gli attacchi informatici e sofisticate reti criminali transfrontaliere che rappresentano crescenti minacce, il lavoro dei servizi di intelligence è diventato sempre più impellente, complesso e internazionale. Tale lavoro può interferire pesantemente con i diritti fondamentali, in particolare con il diritto alla vita privata e alla protezione dei dati. Anche se i continui progressi tecnologici possono potenzialmente esacerbare la minaccia di tali ingerenze, controllo e ricorsi efficaci possono porre un freno ai rischi di abuso.

Second European Union Minorities and Discrimination Survey - Main results

Seventeen years after adoption of EU laws that forbid discrimination, immigrants, descendants of immigrants, and minority ethnic groups continue to face widespread discrimination across the EU and in all areas of life – most often when seeking employment. For many, discrimination is a recurring experience. This is just one of the findings of FRA’s second European Union Minorities and Discrimination Survey (EU-MIDIS II), which collected information from over 25,500 respondents with different ethnic minority and immigrant backgrounds across all 28 EU Member States.
