EU human rights framework Sample Clauses

EU human rights framework. The EU human rights framework consist of three main sources; the Charter of fundamental rights, the European Convention for the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms and the general principles of EU-law. This framework is set out in article 6 TEU. The Charter of Fundamental Rights became legally binding upon the European institutions and on the Member States when implementing Union law212 after the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty213. Before Lisbon, the Charter was not legally binding and merely fulfilled a subsidiary role ‘reaffirming’ the general principles”214. Today the Charter has “the same legal value as the treaties” and so has become the primary European Human Rights instrument. It was adopted on the 2002 European Council in Nice215 and lays down civil, political, economic, social and societal rights that were already embedded in the ECHR or resulting “from the constitutional traditions and international obligations common to the Member States, the Community Treaties, *…+, the Social Charters *…+ and the case- law of the Court of justice of the European Communities and of the European Court of Human rights”216. In sum, the Charter of Fundamental rights consolidates the rights enshrined in a variety of instruments. This does not prejudice the continued importance of the other instruments. To the contrary, it is a tale of complementarity. Article 53 provides that “*n+othing in this Charter shall be interpreted as restricting or adversely affecting human rights and fundamental freedoms as recognized, in their respective fields of application, by Union law and international law and by international agreements to which the Union, the Community or all the Member States are party, 211 Human Rights Watch, Xxxxxxxx in the borderland, the treatment of migrants and asylum seekers in Ukraine, 2010, 31. 212 The member states only have to respect fundamental Human Rights as protected by Union law when acting under Union Law. This is a consolidation of European Court’s judgments such as in Case C-292/97 of 13 April 2000, § 37. 213 Article 51, §1 of the Charter. 214 S. PEERS, EU Justice and Home Affairs law, New York, Oxford University Press, 2011, 99 and preamble of the Charter. 215 Presidency Conclusions, European Council Nice, 7-10 December, §2, OJ C 364 of 18 December 2000, 1-22. 216 Preamble of the Charter. including the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and by the Member States' constitutions”...
