Din il-gwida tista’ tgħin lill-ibliet li jixtiequ jtejbu l-isforzi tagħhom biex jirrispettaw id-drittijiet tal-bniedem. Din għandha l-għan li tħeġġeġ lill-awtoritajiet lokali jadottaw standards ogħla tad-drittijiet tal-bniedem. L-idea hija li jiġi mħeġġeġ u mrawwem it-tagħlim reċiproku dwar id-drittijiet tal-bniedem u dawk fundamentali. L-Aġenzija tal-Unjoni Ewropea għad-Drittijiet Fundamentali (FRA), grupp ta’ bliet għad-drittijiet tal-bniedem u diversi prattikanti fl-UE ħadmu flimkien biex jipproduċu din il-gwida. Il-gwida tibbaża fuq il-prattiki u l-esperjenzi promettenti tal-ibliet, tar-reġjuni, tal-esperti, tal-organizzazzjonijiet internazzjonali u tan-networks li jistgħu jinstabu fir-rapport tal-FRA Human rights cities in the EU: A framework for reinforcing rights locally (Bliet tad-drittijiet tal-bniedem fl-UE: Qafas għat-tisħiħ tad-drittijiet fil-livell lokali).

This report proposes a framework for becoming, and functioning as, a ‘human rights city’ in the EU. It includes ‘foundations’, ‘structures’ and ‘tools’ for mayors, local administrations and grassroots organisations to reinforce fundamental rights locally. It is based on existing good practice and expert input by representatives of human rights cities in the EU, academic experts, international organisations and city networks.

This focus takes a closer look at the application of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which has been legally binding for 10 years. At EU level, it has gained visibility and sparked a new fundamental rights culture. At national level, awareness and use of the Charter are limited. Courts increasingly use the Charter, showing the impact of this modern instrument. But its use by governments and parliaments remains low. For instance, there is little indication of anyone regularly scrutinising national legislation that transposes EU law for compatibility with the Charter.
