Ta osrednja tema podrobneje obravnava uporabo Listine
Evropske unije o temeljnih pravicah, ki je pravno zavezujoča
že 10 let. Na ravni EU je postala prepoznavnejša, spodbudila
pa je tudi novo kulturo spoštovanja temeljnih pravic. Na
nacionalni ravni sta uporaba Listine in ozaveščenost o njej
omejeni. Na sodiščih se uporaba tega sodobnega instrumenta
povečuje, kar kaže, da ima vpliv, vlade in parlamenti pa ga
še naprej uporabljajo le redko. Tako na primer skoraj nič ne
kaže na to, da kdo redno podrobno preverja, ali je nacionalna
zakonodaja za prenos prava EU skladna z Listino.
This year’s focus explores the interrelationship between the human and fundamental rights framework and the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) of the global Agenda 2030 in the context of Member States’ and the EU’s internal policies.
It takes a closer look at the SDGs related to reducing inequality (SDG 10) and promoting peace, justice and strong
institutions (SDG 16).
European societies are not getting any younger! It is a simple truth we must face both about ourselves and Europe as a whole. In two generations, by 2080, those aged 65 or above will account for almost 30% of the European Union’s population.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights. Such a milestone offers an opportunity for reflection – both on the progress that provides cause for celebration and on the lingering shortcomings that must be addressed.
