Europos Sąjungos pagrindinių teisių chartija

Preambulė

Europos tautos, kurdamos dar glaudesnę tarpusavio sąjungą, yra pasiryžusios bendrų vertybių pagrindu siekti taikios ateities. Ištikima savo dvasiniam ir doroviniam paveldui Sąjunga remiasi nedalomomis ir visuotinėmis vertybėmis: žmogaus orumu, laisve, lygybe ir solidarumu; ji grindžiama demokratijos ir teisinės valstybės principais. Įkurdama Sąjungos pilietybę ir plėtodama laisvės, saugumo ir teisingumo erdvę, Sąjunga daugiausia dėmesio savo veikloje skiria žmogui.
Sąjunga prisideda prie šių bendrų vertybių išsaugojimo ir plėtotės kartu gerbdama Europos tautų kultūrų ir tradicijų įvairovę bei valstybių narių nacionalinį savitumą ir jų nacionalinių, regioninių ir vietos institucijų sandarą; Sąjunga siekia skatinti darnų ir tvarų vystymąsi bei užtikrinti laisvą asmenų, paslaugų, prekių ir kapitalo judėjimą bei įsisteigimo laisvę.
Todėl, atsižvelgiant į visuomenėje vykstančius pokyčius, socialinę pažangą ir mokslo bei technologijų laimėjimus, būtina stiprinti pagrindinių teisių apsaugą, labiau jas išryškinti Chartijoje.
Šioje Chartijoje, deramai atsižvelgiant į Sąjungos kompetenciją ir uždavinius bei į subsidiarumo principą, dar kartą įtvirtinamos pagrindinės teisės, kylančios iš visoms valstybėms narėms bendrų konstitucinių tradicijų ir tarptautinių įsipareigojimų, Europos žmogaus teisių ir pagrindinių laisvių apsaugos konvencijos, Sąjungos ir Europos Tarybos priimtų socialinių chartijų ir Europos Sąjungos Teisingumo Teismo ir Europos žmogaus teisių teismo teisminės praktikos. Atsižvelgiant į tai, Sąjungos ir valstybių narių teismai aiškins Chartiją tinkamai atsižvelgdami į išaiškinimus, parengtus prižiūrint Chartijos projektą rengusio Konvento prezidiumui ir atnaujinamus Europos konvento prezidiumo atsakomybe.
Naudojimasis šiomis teisėmis suponuoja atsakomybę ir pareigas kitų asmenų, žmonių bendruomenės ir ateities kartų atžvilgiu.
Todėl Sąjunga pripažįsta toliau išdėstytas teises, laisves ir principus.

    Online terrorist content is a threat to fundamental rights, rule of law and democracy. EU measures to tackle such content aim to prevent terrorism while upholding these values. FRA’s report looks at how online terrorist content is detected and removed under EU legislation. It highlights challenges in interpreting rules, risks of over-removal and potential impacts on freedom of expression. It finds that moderation practices by authorities and platforms can disproportionately affect certain groups, such as Muslims and Arabic speakers, while far-right content often receives less scrutiny. The findings, based on research and expert interviews with those addressing online terrorist content, offer ways to improve transparency in content moderation and to better balance public security and fundamental rights, contributing to wider debates on regulating online content responsibly.

    This report examines how human rights impact assessments (HRIAs) are built into lawmaking across the EU and its Member States. It highlights that, although progress has been made, the use of HRIAs remains uneven and often superficial. In many EU countries, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights is frequently overlooked. The report identifies insufficient consultation with external experts, limited stakeholder participation and a lack of evaluation once laws are in force. To address these gaps, it offers practical recommendations for more systematic, inclusive and evidence-based HRIAs that strengthen human rights protection and ensure better, more accountable legislation throughout the EU.

    Artificial Intelligence comes with both benefits and risks. Safe AI use that accounts for fundamental rights is thus crucial. While the 2024 EU AI Act was a milestone in this regard, its broad definitions regarding AI systems and high-risk AI could introduce loopholes for fundamental rights compliance. This report offers an empirical basis for much-needed practical guidance on the Act’s implementation. Based on interviews with AI developers, sellers, and users, FRA addresses challenges of its use in critical domains, like asylum, education, and employment. Our findings help guide next steps in realising the AI Act’s potential to ensure responsible innovation.

    FRA analysed 31 digital tools and systems across seven EU Member States, exploring potential positive and negative effects on victims, claimants and defendants. By identifying risks early, investing in skills and training, and embedding protections from the outset, policymakers and practitioners can build effective and inclusive justice systems. This report provides practical suggestions to help ensure that digitalised justice systems are accessible and deliver fair outcomes for all.
