Preambula

Eiropas tautas, veidojot arvien ciešāku savstarpēju sadarbību, ir nolēmušas veidot mierpilnu nākotni, kuras pamatā ir kopējas vērtības. Apzinoties savu garīgo un tikumisko mantojumu, Savienība balstās uz nedalāmām, universālām vērtībām – cilvēka cieņu, brīvību, vienlīdzību un solidaritāti; tās pamatā ir demokrātijas un tiesiskuma principi. Vislielāko uzmanību Savienība pievērš indivīdam, iedibinot Savienības pilsonību un izveidojot brīvības, drošības un tiesiskuma telpu.
Savienība veicina šo kopējo vērtību saglabāšanu un attīstību, vienlaikus respektējot Eiropas tautu kultūru un tradīciju dažādību, kā arī dalībvalstu nacionālo identitāti un to valsts iestāžu organizāciju valsts, reģionālā un vietējā līmenī; tā tiecas veicināt līdzsvarotu un stabilu attīstību un nodrošina personu brīvu pārvietošanos, preču, pakalpojumu un kapitāla brīvu apriti un brīvību veikt uzņēmējdarbību.
Šajā nolūkā, ņemot vērā pārmaiņas sabiedrībā, sociālo attīstību, kā arī zinātniskos un tehnoloģiskos sasniegumus, ir nepieciešams stiprināt pamattiesību aizsardzību, šo tiesību nozīmīgumu īpaši uzsverot Hartā.
Šajā Hartā, ievērojot Savienības kompetences un uzdevumus, kā arī subsidiaritātes principu, no jauna ir apstiprinātas tiesības, kuru pamatā ir dalībvalstu konstitucionālās tradīcijas un starptautiskās saistības, Eiropas Cilvēktiesību un pamatbrīvību aizsardzības konvencija, Savienības un Eiropas Padomes pieņemtās Sociālās hartas, kā arī Eiropas Savienības Tiesas un Eiropas Cilvēktiesību tiesas judikatūra. Šajā sakarā Savienības un dalībvalstu tiesas interpretē Hartu, ievērojot paskaidrojumus, kas sagatavoti pēc šo Hartu izstrādājušā Konventa prezidija ierosinājuma un kurus ir papildinājis Eiropas Konventa prezidijs.
Šo tiesību īstenošana ir saistīta ar atbildību un pienākumiem pret citām personām, visu sabiedrību un nākamajām paaudzēm.
Tāpēc Savienība atzīst turpmāk tekstā izklāstītās tiesības, brīvības un principus.

      Many cities throughout the European Union hosted people fleeing Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. The EU currently faces the largest displacement of people in Europe since World War II. Since February 2022, over seven million people came to the EU. The arrival of such large numbers of people thrust cities and local governments to the forefront of the EU and its Member States’ relief work. This short publication provides a snapshot of cities’ initiatives to address this humanitarian crisis.

      National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) continue to play a key role in upholding fundamental rights. FRA keeps track of the accreditation status and the mandates of the NHRIs. In 2022, the NHRI in Cyprus was upgraded to an ‘A-status’ institution. In addition, the mandates of six NHRIs changed to include child protection or the protection of LGBTI people.

      Europe stands at a delicate moment in its history, facing a convergence of major tests. Each of them taken on their own is significant. Together, they pose profound questions about the political, economic, and societal future of the continent. This is a moment for strong commitment to put human rights at the heart of our vision for Europe’s future. It is also time to demonstrate our determination to work together to this end. Against this backdrop, the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) brought together around sixty human rights leaders and experts from across the continent to discuss elements of a human rights vision for the future and to identify opportunities for action. A full conference report will be available soon, including the specific ideas and proposals which arose from the meeting. Meanwhile, this is a summary of the conclusions.

      The EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) regularly collects data on the operations of NGO vessels involved in search and rescue in the Mediterranean. This includes any legal proceedings against them, as well as on any difficulties in disembarking migrants in safe ports. The International Organization for Migration estimates that from January to 15 June 2022 about 842 people died or went 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 five people per day.
