Charta základných práv Európskej únie

Preambula

Národy Európy sa rozhodli vytváraním stále užšieho zväzku zdieľať mierovú budúcnosť na základe spoločných hodnôt. Pamätajúc na svoje duchovné a morálne dedičstvo, je Únia založená na nedeliteľných a univerzálnych hodnotách ľudskej dôstojnosti, slobody, rovnosti a solidarity; je založená na zásadách demokracie a právneho štátu. Do stredobodu svojej činnosti stavia človeka, a to zavedením občianstva Únie a vytvorením priestoru slobody, bezpečnosti a spravodlivosti.
Únia prispieva k zachovaniu a rozvoju týchto spoločných hodnôt pri rešpektovaní rozmanitosti kultúr a tradícií národov Európy, ako aj národnej identity členských štátov a organizácie ich orgánov verejnej moci na ústrednej, regionálnej a miestnej úrovni; usiluje sa podporovať vyvážený a trvalo udržateľný rozvoj a zabezpečuje voľný pohyb osôb, služieb, tovaru a kapitálu, ako aj slobodu usadiť sa.
Na tento účel je potrebné posilniť ochranu základných práv s ohľadom na vývoj spoločnosti, sociálny pokrok, vedecký a technický rozvoj, a to zviditeľnením týchto práv v charte.
Rešpektujúc právomoci a úlohy Únie, ako aj dodržiavanie zásady subsidiarity, táto charta opätovne potvrdzuje práva vyplývajúce najmä z ústavných tradícií a medzinárodných záväzkov spoločných pre členské štáty, Európskeho dohovoru o ochrane ľudských práv a základných slobôd, sociálnych chárt prijatých Úniou a Radou Európy, ako aj judikatúry Súdneho dvora Európskej únie a Európskeho súdu pre ľudské práva. V tejto súvislosti budú súdy Únie a členských štátov vykladať túto chartu s náležitým zreteľom na vysvetlivky pripravené pod vedením predsedníctva Konventu, ktorý vypracoval chartu, a aktualizované pod vedením predsedníctva Európskeho konventu.
Uplatňovanie týchto práv zahŕňa zodpovednosť a povinnosti vo vzťahu k iným osobám, spoločenstvu ľudí a budúcim generáciám.
Únia z tohto dôvodu uznáva ďalej uvedené práva, slobody a zásady.

    Council of Europe (CoE) and European Union (EU) Member States have an undeniable sovereign right to control the entry of non-nationals into their territory. While exercising border control, states have a duty to protect the fundamental rights of all people under their jurisdiction, regardless of their nationality and/or legal status. Under EU law, this includes providing access to asylum procedures.

    European societies are not getting any younger! It is a simple truth we must face both about ourselves and Europe as a whole. In two generations, by 2080, those aged 65 or above will account for almost 30% of the European Union’s population.

    This booklet is intended to support guardians assigned to children in the asylum procedure. It covers the technical aspects of the legal procedures related to the cross-border movement of such children. This booklet covers only procedures related to international protection. It is part of a series of four practical tools for guardians of unaccompanied children with international protection needs. The objective is to support guardians in their daily tasks and responsibilities during the asylum procedure, including the procedure under the Regulation (EU) No 604/2013 (Dublin III regulation) and temporary protection. The tools have been developed by the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA) and the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA).

    Racism in the police can include discriminatory racial profiling practices through to excessive use of force. Incidents like these highlight deeper systemic issues that need addressing. Many in society are affected by racism in policing, not only the individuals or communities targeted. Lack of trust in policing can fuel social exclusion and damages the foundations of a fair and equal society, however promising practices are developing to address these issues. This is the first EU-wide report on racism in policing. FRA’s findings identify gaps in regulatory frameworks and propose concrete steps for action.

    The European Arrest Warrant (EAW) allows Member States to implement judicial decisions issued in another Member State. It applies to decisions such as arrests for the purpose of criminal prosecutions or the execution of custodial sentences. After being in force for over 20 years, FRA’s findings provide evidence for an assessment of the legislation in practice. This report looks at the fundamental rights challenges that people face who are requested through an EAW. It provides a unique insight into their experiences and those of the professionals involved. FRA’s findings indicate that shared challenges exist across EU Member States. They must increase efforts to ensure that people are able to take part in criminal proceedings and receive a fair trial.

    Tackling greenwashing is an issue where human rights, consumer rights and climate goals align. Companies use greenwashing to convince people to buy products that are not always as environmentally friendly as they claim to be. They mislead consumers and harm the environment. This report shows how a human rights approach can combat greenwashing. It is based on consultations with experts in 10 Member States. The report identifies gaps in existing laws and enforcement. It includes case studies of consumers seeking remedies for misleading environmental claims. The EU and Member States should enforce rules that make it harder for companies to make misleading environmental claims. They should strengthen rules that make it easier for consumers to prove that companies are greenwashing. Consumer and environmental organisations already hold governments and business to account. Governments should make it easier to use collective action for the protection of consumer rights and the environment.

Since its 2020 report 'Strong and effective national human rights institutions – challenges, promising practices and opportunities', the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) has been regularly tracking the accreditation status and mandates of NHRIs.

    Children’s rights exist to ensure the safety and wellbeing of every child. Improved child protection systems ensure that these rights are met. In recent years, the EU has taken significant steps to improve child protection systems. This mapping of child protection systems gives an overview of the state of such systems at national level and developments since 2015. It promotes the improvement of integrated child protection systems. It is an update of FRA’s mapping of child protection systems in 2015, based on data collected in 2023 in the 27 EU Member States. By publishing this, FRA aims to support securing the sustainable well-being, safety and rights of all children living in the EU.
