It includes ‘foundations’, ‘structures’ and ‘tools’ for mayors, local administrations and grassroots organisations to reinforce fundamental rights locally. It is based on existing good practice and expert input by representatives of human rights cities in the EU, academic experts, international organisations and city networks.

    Applicazione della Carta dei diritti fondamentali dell’UE nella legislazione e nell’elaborazione delle politiche a livello nazionale

    Essendo un catalogo dei diritti umani molto moderno, che contiene molti diritti non
    reperibili nelle carte dei diritti consolidate, la Carta sembra davvero buona a livello
    teorico. Coloro che conoscono i principi fondamentali del diritto dell’UE possono di
    solito recitare rapidamente che la Carta è sempre vincolante per l’UE e per gli Stati
    membri solo quando «attuano il diritto dell’UE». Ma che cosa significa in realtà questa
    espressione spesso citata dall’articolo 51 della Carta?
