Appoġġ għal sistemi u difensuri tad-drittijiet tal-bniedem

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.

The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (CFREU) is the EU’s bill of rights. It always binds the EU institutions and the Member States when they act within the scope of EU law. However, it is far from easy to assess whether a concrete case falls within the scope of EU law. This is why it is necessary to provide training and training material to legal professionals so that they can understand the field of application of the Charter as laid out in its Article 51. This trainer’s manual aims at providing guidance on both the organisation and the implementation of such trainings based on a series of case studies,
which will be extended in the future.

Civil society is a key component of Europe’s fundamental rights architecture. From supporting people affected by the pandemic to helping those fleeing the war in Ukraine, civil society plays a crucial role in upholding people’s rights. In so doing, it contributes to a healthy rule of law culture. FRA’s civic space report provides an overview of the many ways in which civil society contributes to the checks and balances that underpin the rule of law.

Since September 2021, two National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) had a change in their accreditation status, one applied for accreditation and five have had a change in tasks covered by their mandates. This new 2022 update provides an overview of developments in the accreditation status and mandates of NHRIs from September 2021 to May 2022. It is a follow up of FRA’s 2020 report on ‘Strong and effective national human rights institutions – challenges, promising practices and opportunities’ and the September 2021 update. It covers the 27 EU Member States and three candidate countries (Albania, North Macedonia and Serbia).

FRA’s Fundamental Rights Report 2022 reviews major developments in the field in 2021, identifying both achievements and areas of concern. It also presents FRA’s opinions on these developments, including a synopsis of the evidence supporting these opinions.

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).

Li nitkellmu favur id-drittijiet tal-bniedem qatt ma kien aktar importanti! Iżda kif inhu l-aħjar mod? Kif nistgħu ngħaqqdu lin-nies flimkien u nikkomunikaw b’mod li jiġbed l-attenzjoni?
