Many cities throughout the European Union hosted people fleeing Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. The EU currently faces the largest displacement of people in Europe since World War II. Since February 2022, over seven million people came to the EU. The arrival of such large numbers of people thrust cities and local governments to the forefront of the EU and its Member States’ relief work. This short publication provides a snapshot of cities’ initiatives to address this humanitarian crisis.

Europe stands at a delicate moment in its history, facing a convergence of major tests. Each of them taken on their own is significant. Together, they pose profound questions about the political, economic, and societal future of the continent. This is a moment for strong commitment to put human rights at the heart of our vision for Europe’s future. It is also time to demonstrate our determination to work together to this end. Against this backdrop, the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) brought together around sixty human rights leaders and experts from across the continent to discuss elements of a human rights vision for the future and to identify opportunities for action. A full conference report will be available soon, including the specific ideas and proposals which arose from the meeting. Meanwhile, this is a summary of the conclusions.

La Carta dei diritti fondamentali dell’Unione europea (CDFUE) è la dichiarazione dei diritti fondamentali dell’UE ed è sempre vincolante per le istituzioni e gli Stati membri dell’Unione quando questi agiscono nell’ambito del diritto dell’UE. Tuttavia, non è affatto facile valutare se un caso concreto rientra nell’ambito di applicazione del diritto dell’Unione europea. Ecco perché è necessario fornire materiale formative ai professionisti del diritto e formarli in modo che possano comprendere il campo di applicazione della Carta come stabilito nel suo articolo 51. Questo manuale per formatori intende fornire una guida sia all’organizzazione sia alla realizzazione di tali corsi di formazione sulla base di una serie di casi di studio che saranno ampliati in future.

La presente guida può aiutare le città che desiderano migliorare i loro sforzi per rispettare i diritti umani.

L’idea è incoraggiare e promuovere l’apprendimento reciproco in materia di diritti umani e fondamentali. L’Agenzia dell’Unione europea per i diritti fondamentali (FRA) ha collaborato con un gruppo di città dei diritti umani e vari professionisti dell’Unione europea (UE) all'elaborazione di questa guida. La guida si basa sulle pratiche e sulle esperienze promettenti di città, regioni, esperti, organizzazioni e reti internazionali, reperibili nella relazione della FRA dal titolo Human rights cities in the EU: A framework for reinforcing rights locally (Città dei diritti umani nell’UE: un quadro per rafforzare i diritti a livello locale).
