    This manual is designed to help institutions, organisations and individuals to train guardians of unaccompanied children or to deliver ‘train-the-trainers’ courses. It can be used in a range of training contexts, such as professional and academic training, on-the-job training and continuing training. The manual is based on human and fundamental rights principles and ethical standards and recognises that the child and the guardian have their own personal stories, resources and capacities. It enhances guardians’ confidence to promote the child’s rights and best interests. It also enhances their confidence to act independently and impartially in relation to different state
    officials, service providers and other community members.

    Directive 2012/29/EU represents a milestone in the development of victims’ rights. It establishes minimum standards for the rights, support and protection of victims of crime. It defines the scope of support services, guarantees the right to effective protection against secondary victimisation and comprehensively regulates the measures required for this purpose. This report covers three core components underpinning victims’ rights: support services, crime reporting, and protection from secondary and repeat victimisation. Examples highlight the relevant legal provisions in Member States and how specific rights under the Victims’ Rights Directive work in practice.

    This report presents findings from FRA’s 2021 survey on Roma in Croatia, Czechia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Portugal, Romania and Spain, as well as in North Macedonia and Serbia. The survey includes interviews with more than 8,400 Roma, collecting information on more than 20,000 individuals living in their households. By focusing on Roma, the survey provides unique data and information that are not available from European general population surveys, which do not disaggregate on grounds of ethnic origin. The findings present a bleak but familiar picture of exclusion, deprivation, discrimination and racism.

    The Russian invasion of Ukraine triggered solidarity from EU governments, local authorities and society as they welcomed more than 7 million people fleeing the aggression. The European Union’s rapid response, activating the EU Temporary Protection Directive, offered welcome relief and much-needed support to those in need. It allowed displaced persons the opportunity to quickly settle and to work, travel and access services across the EU. But other pressing human rights issues have come to the fore and remain high on the EU’s agenda, such as human trafficking, sexual and gender-based violence, hate crime and hate-fuelled disinformation.

    Perusoikeuksien toteutumista EU:n ulkorajoilla pitäisi seurata järjestelmällisesti ja säännöllisesti rajaturvallisuuden ylläpitämiseen liittyvissä eri toimissa. Näitä toimia ovat muun muassa rajavartiointi, kiinniottamiset maa-, meri- ja ilmarajoilla ja asianmukaiseen menettelyyn ohjaamista koskevan mekanismin käyttö, myös silloin, kun kyse on joukoittaisesta maahantulosta. Nämä yleiset ohjeet auttavat EU:n jäsenvaltioita perustamaan kansallisia riippumattomia mekanismeja perusoikeuksien noudattamisen seurantaan EU:n ulkorajoilla Euroopan komission 23. syyskuuta 2020 ehdottaman seulonta-asetuksen mukaisesti.

    Praćenje poštovanja temeljnih prava na vanjskim granicama EU‑a trebalo bi se sustavno i redovno provoditi za široki raspon aktivnosti upravljanja granicama. Te aktivnosti obuhvaćaju nadzor granica, uhićenja na kopnenim, morskim i zračnim granicama te rad mehanizama za upućivanje, uključujući u slučaju masovnih dolazaka. Ovim općim smjernicama pruža se pomoć državama članicama EU‑a u uspostavi nacionalnih neovisnih mehanizama praćenja poštovanja temeljnih prava na vanjskim granicama EU‑a, u skladu s uredbom o dubinskoj provjeri koju je Europska komisija predložila 23. rujna 2020. Agencija Europske unije za temeljna prava izradila je ove smjernice na zahtjev Komisije.

    Az alapjogok uniós külső határokon történő nyomon követésének szisztematikusnak és rendszeresnek kell lennie számos határigazgatási tevékenység tekintetében. E tevékenységek közé tartozik a határőrizet, a szárazföldi, tengeri és légi határokon történő őrizetbe vétel, valamint az áldozatkezelési mechanizmusok működtetése, többek között tömeges érkezések esetén is. Ez az általános iránymutatás segítséget nyújt az uniós tagállamok számára az alapjogok uniós külső határokon történő tiszteletben tartásának nyomon követésére szolgáló független nemzeti mechanizmusoknak az előszűrésről szóló rendeletre vonatkozó, 2020. szeptember 23-i európai bizottsági javaslattal összhangban történő létrehozásához.

    Terreurdaden brengen het leven en de veiligheid van de bevolking in groot gevaar en het is voor staten een enorme uitdaging om hun burgers ertegen te beschermen. Daartegenover staat dat wetgeving, beleid en andere maatregelen ter bestrijding van terrorisme er direct of indirect toe kunnen leiden dat de grondrechten danig worden ingeperkt en negatieve gevolgen kunnen hebben voor individuen, groepen en de samenleving als geheel. Deze samenvatting bevat de belangrijkste bevindingen uit het verslag van het FRA over Richtlijn (EU) 2017/541 inzake terrorismebestrijding, het belangrijkste strafrechtelijke instrument op EU-niveau in de strijd tegen terrorisme.

    Akty terrorystyczne stanowią poważne zagrożenie dla życia i bezpieczeństwa ludzi, a dla państw są poważnym wyzwaniem w zakresie zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa. Jednocześnie prawodawstwo, polityka i inne środki w zakresie zwalczania terroryzmu mogą wiązać się – bezpośrednio lub pośrednio – z poważnymi ograniczeniami praw podstawowych oraz mieć negatywne skutki dla osób, grup i społeczeństwa jako całości. Niniejsze streszczenie zawiera główne ustalenia FRA ze sprawozdania dotyczącego dyrektywy (UE) 2017/541 w sprawie zwalczania terroryzmu, która jest podstawowym instrumentem prawa karnego na poziomie UE w dziedzinie zwalczania terroryzmu.

    Os atos de terrorismo representam uma grave ameaça para a vida e a segurança das pessoas e um profundo desafio para a segurança dos Estados. Ao mesmo tempo, a legislação, as políticas e outras medidas de combate ao terrorismo podem implicar, direta ou indiretamente, sérias limitações aos direitos fundamentais e podem afetar negativamente os indivíduos, os grupos e a sociedade no seu conjunto. A presente síntese apresenta as principais conclusões da FRA no seu relatório sobre a Diretiva (UE) 2017/541 relativa à luta contra o terrorismo, o principal instrumento do direito penal à escala da União Europeia (UE) no domínio do combate ao terrorismo.
