Across the European Union, people face hatred because of their skin colour, ethnicity, religion, gender or sexuality. In response, the EU and its Member States have introduced laws against hate crime and support services for victims. But these will only fulfil their potential if victims report hate-motivated harassment and violence to the police, and if police officers record such incidents as hate crimes. This report provides rich and detailed information on hate crime recording and data collection systems across the EU, including any systemic cooperation with civil society.
The year 2017 brought both progress and setbacks in terms of rights protection. The European Pillar of Social Rights marked an important move towards a more ‘social Europe’. But, as experiences with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights underscore, agreement on a text is merely a first step. Even in its eighth year as the EU's binding bill of rights, the Charter's potential was not fully exploited, highlighting the need to more actively promote its use.
Organizacije civilne družbe v Evropski uniji imajo ključno vlogo pri spodbujanju temeljnih pravic, vendar je zanje to zaradi pravnih in praktičnih omejitev postalo težavnejše. Čeprav
obstajajo izzivi v vseh državah članicah EU, se njihova prava narava in obseg razlikujeta. Na splošno so podatki in raziskave o tem vprašanju, vključno s primerjalnimi raziskavami,
pomanjkljivi.
Poročilo agencije FRA zato obravnava različne vrste in vzorce izzivov, s katerimi se srečujejo organizacije civilne družbe, ki se ukvarjajo s človekovimi pravicami v EU. V njem so
izpostavljene tudi obetavne prakse, ki lahko te zaskrbljujoče vzorce izničijo.
Evropsko protidiskriminacijsko pravo, kot ga določajo zlasti protidiskriminacijske direktive Evropske
unije, člen 14 Evropske konvencije o človekovih pravicah in 12. Protokol k tej konvenciji, prepoveduje
diskriminacijo na različnih področjih in zaradi različnih razlogov. Ta priročnik pojasnjuje evropsko
protidiskriminacijsko pravo, kot izhaja iz navedenih dveh komplementarnih sistemov. Izmenjuje
navaja področja, kjer se ureditvi vsebinsko prekrivata, in izpostavlja razlike med njima.
Seventeen years after adoption of EU laws that forbid discrimination, immigrants, descendants of immigrants, and minority ethnic groups continue to face widespread discrimination across the EU and in all areas of life – most often when seeking employment. For many, discrimination is a recurring experience. This is just one of the findings of FRA’s second European Union Minorities and Discrimination Survey (EU-MIDIS II), which collected information from over 25,500 respondents with different ethnic minority and immigrant backgrounds across all 28 EU Member States.
