Preámbulo

Los pueblos de Europa, al crear entre sí una unión cada vez más estrecha, han decidido compartir un porvenir pacífico basado en valores comunes. Consciente de su patrimonio espiritual y moral, la Unión está fundada sobre los valores indivisibles y universales de la dignidad humana, la libertad, la igualdad y la solidaridad, y se basa en los principios de la democracia y el Estado de Derecho. Al instituir la ciudadanía de la Unión y crear un espacio de libertad, seguridad y justicia, sitúa a la persona en el centro de su actuación.
La Unión contribuye a defender y fomentar estos valores comunes dentro del respeto de la diversidad de culturas y tradiciones de los pueblos de Europa, así como de la identidad nacional de los Estados miembros y de la organización de sus poderes públicos a escala nacional, regional y local; trata de fomentar un desarrollo equilibrado y sostenible y garantiza la libre circulación de personas, servicios, mercancías y capitales, así como la libertad de establecimiento.
Para ello es necesario, dándoles mayor proyección mediante una Carta, reforzar la protección de los derechos fundamentales a tenor de la evolución de la sociedad, del progreso social y de los avances científicos y tecnológicos.
La presente Carta reafirma, dentro del respeto de las competencias y misiones de la Unión, así como del principio de subsidiariedad, los derechos que emanan, en particular, de las tradiciones constitucionales y las obligaciones internacionales comunes a los Estados miembros, del Convenio Europeo para la Protección de los Derechos Humanos y de las Libertades Fundamentales, las Cartas Sociales adoptadas por la Unión y por el Consejo de Europa, así como de la jurisprudencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea y del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos. En este contexto, los órganos jurisdiccionales de la Unión y de los Estados miembros interpretarán la Carta atendiendo debidamente a las explicaciones elaboradas bajo la autoridad del Praesidium de la Convención que redactó la Carta y actualizadas bajo la responsabilidad del Praesidium de la Convención Europea.
El disfrute de tales derechos conlleva responsabilidades y deberes tanto respecto de los demás como de la comunidad humana y de las generaciones futuras.
En consecuencia, la Unión reconoce los derechos, libertades y principios enunciados a continuación.
