European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights

What are some of the key challenges to fundamental rights across the EU? FRA's new Fundamental Rights Report highlights:
🔵 Europe’s housing crisis
🔵 Employment challenges and exploitation of migrant workers
🔵 Threats to fundamental rights online

From democratic lawmaking and digital governance to internal security and the treatment of migrants, the report examines threats to rights and the EU’s founding values in 2025.

It is a call to the EU and Member States to protect fundamental rights and to reinforce democracy amid global political instability and security threats.

A new updated handbook from FRA and the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) brings together key European law on asylum, borders and immigration in one accessible resource.

Since the previous edition in 2020, the European legal landscape has evolved significantly. This new edition:

🔹 Reflects major developments in EU law and the European Convention on Human Rights, alongside other Council of Europe (CoE) standards
🔹 Takes into account key changes in the legal landscape, including the 2024 EU Pact on Migration and Asylum
🔹 Incorporates important case law from both the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights

By providing a clear overview of applicable legal standards, the handbook supports more consistent application of legal standards at national level.

It ultimately contributes to the protection of fundamental rights in the implementation of migration and asylum policies across Europe.

The translation will help Ukrainian judges, lawyers, policymakers and civil society organisations work more easily with EU fundamental rights standards in their daily work. This also supports Ukraine’s EU alignment and will allow them to more consistently apply the Charter in national laws and policies.

The handbook:
🔹provides practical guidance on when the Charter applies and how to integrate fundamental rights into national laws and policies.
🔹 strengthens day-to-day cooperation between Ukrainian and EU institutions through shared legal knowledge and practice.

The translated European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights Charter handbook was developed by the 3*E4U programme.

Every child has the right to grow up safe, heard and protected. Making those rights real means building systems that truly work for children.

On the International Day for the Protection of Children, FRA reaffirms these rights and stresses the need for effective laws, policies and practices.

From research to consultations with key actors, FRA’s work points to both progress and persistent gaps. Three priorities stand out:
🔹 Stronger cooperation between national authorities, EU bodies, Ombudspersons and civil society
🔹 Meaningful child participation in decisions that affect them
🔹 More coherent and integrated child protection frameworks, supported by reliable data and monitoring

This work also feeds into key debates on how to better protect children today – from digital safety and age limits on social media to improving coordination across child protection systems.

New resources are coming soon, including a Charter factsheet on child rights and findings on the experiences of LGBTIQ children and young people in education.
