EU Charter of Fundamental Rights

Artículo 50 - Derecho a no ser juzgado o condenado penalmente dos veces por la misma infracción

Artículo 50 - Derecho a no ser juzgado o condenado penalmente dos veces por la misma infracción

Nadie podrá ser juzgado o condenado penalmente por una infracción respecto de la cual ya haya sido absuelto o condenado en la Unión mediante sentencia penal firme conforme a la ley.

    • Text:

      El artículo 4 del Protocolo n.o 7 del CEDH dice lo siguiente:

      `1. Nadie podrá ser procesado o castigado penalmente por las jurisdicciones del mismo Estado por una infracción por la que hubiera sido ya absuelto o condenado por sentencia firme conforme a la Ley y al procedimiento penal de ese Estado.

      2. Lo dispuesto en el párrafo anterior no obsta a la reapertura del proceso, conforme a la Ley y al procedimiento penal del Estado interesado, cuando hechos nuevos o revelaciones nuevas o cuando un vicio esencial en ese procedimiento pudieran afectar a la sentencia dictada.

      3. No se autorizará excepción alguna del presente artículo a título del artículo 15 del Convenio.`

      El principio `non bis in idem` se aplica en Derecho de la Unión (véase, entre otras sentencias de una importante jurisprudencia, la de 5 de mayo de 1966, Gutmann c. Comisión, asuntos 18/65 y 35/65,

      In 2020 (until 15 December), the International Organization for Migration estimated that about 1,054 people have died or gone missing while crossing the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe to escape war or persecution or to pursue a better life. This is an average of almost three people per day. In the past years, a significant number of migrants in distress at sea have been rescued by civil society vessels deployed with a humanitarian mandate to reduce fatalities and bring rescued migrants to safety. Since 2018, however, national authorities initiated some 50 administrative and criminal proceedings against crew members or vessels, also seizing the latter. In some cases, rescue vessels were blocked in harbours due to flag issues or the inability to meet maritime safety-related and other technical requirements.

      El Convenio Europeo para la Protección de los Derechos Humanos y de las Libertades Fundamentales
      (CEDH) y el Derecho de la Unión Europea (UE) constituyen un marco cada vez más importante para la
      protección de los derechos de los extranjeros. La legislación de la UE sobre asilo, fronteras e inmigración
      se está desarrollando rápidamente. La jurisprudencia del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos
      (TEDH) en este ámbito es abundante y relativa en particular a los artículos 3, 5, 8 y 13 del CEDH. El Tribunal
      de Justicia de la Unión Europea (TJUE) debe pronunciarse cada vez más sobre la interpretación de
      las disposiciones del Derecho de la UE en la materia. La tercera edición de este manual, que se actualizó
      en julio de 2020, presenta de manera accesible el Derecho de la UE y la jurisprudencia de los dos
      tribunales europeos en la materia.

      Artificial intelligence (AI) already plays a role in deciding what unemployment benefits someone gets, where a burglary is likely to take place, whether someone is at risk of cancer, or who sees that catchy advertisement for low mortgage rates. Its use keeps growing, presenting seemingly endless possibilities. But we need to make sure to fully uphold fundamental rights standards when using AI. This report presents concrete examples of how companies and public administrations in the EU are using, or trying to use, AI. It focuses on four core areas – social benefits, predictive policing, health services and targeted advertising.

      This report looks at fundamental rights compliance at the European Union (EU)’s external land borders, including rivers and lakes. On 30 January 2020, the European Parliament requested the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) to prepare a report on these borders. It noted that the report should focus on the correct application of the safeguards in the European asylum acquis and the provisions of the Schengen Borders Code (Regulation (EU) 2016/399).

      Roma and Travellers living in western EU countries are less often in the
      limelight than those living in central, eastern and southern EU countries.
      While they represent a smaller proportion of the population in the west, they
      also face problems with social exclusion, marginalisation and discrimination.
      These country sheets present findings from the survey conducted by FRA in 2019
      covering Roma and Travellers populations in Belgium, France, Ireland, the
      Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom. The survey included interviews
      with almost 4,700 Roma and Travellers, collecting information on more than
      8,200 individuals living in their households.

      migration since September 2015. This report focuses on the fundamental rights situation of

      The EU Fundamental Rights Agency published in 2019 its report on the ‘Integration of young refugees in the EU’. The report explored the challenges of young people who fled armed conflict or persecution and arrived in the EU in 2015 and 2016. The report is based on 426 interviews with experts working in the area of asylum and integration, as well as 163 interviews with young people, aged 16 to 24, conducted between October 2017 and June 2018 in 15 regions and cities located in six Member States: Austria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy and Sweden. The links on this page provide a summary of the information collected during this period for each country about unaccompanied children turning 18 and the change in people’s legal status once international protection is granted. These two issues had at the time been identified as moments requiring sufficient, consistent and systematic support, particularly from lawyers, social workers and guardians, to ensure successful integration.

      Business activity affects not just customers, employees, and contractors along supply chains, but often entire communities and the environment. This makes it vital that every business complies with human rights. This comparative report looks at the realities victims face when they seek redress for business-related human rights abuses. It presents the findings of fieldwork research on the views of professionals regarding the different ways people can pursue complaints. The findings highlight that obstacles to achieving justice are often multi-layered.

      Often living in substandard and overcrowded housing conditions, Roma
      and Travellers face an increased risk of contracting COVID-19. They are
      also disproportionately affected by measures taken to contain the virus.
      This FRA Bulletin takes a closer look at this reality in 15 EU Member States,
      focusing on education; employment; poverty; healthcare; housing; and
      anti-Gypsyism. It also outlines civil society efforts to tackle the diverse
      challenges triggered by the Coronavirus pandemic.
