Focus on the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights

Several NGOs have jointly launched a site on the EU Charter.
The name of the site is focuscharter.eu.

It is a project of these NGOs that is described as follows:

Empowering Citizens, Enhancing Rights
Building Capacity on the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights

Our project is dedicated to increasing awareness of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and strengthening its application at all levels. Through a diverse set of activities ranging from media training and expert debates to local authorities support and youth empowerment, we aim to make the Charter a living instrument in daily life.

The role of the Charter is explained:

The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights brings together the personal, civic, political, economic, and social rights protected across the European Union. In effect since 2009, it ensures that people enjoy a high level of rights protection when dealing with EU institutions or where member states apply EU law.
The Charter safeguards the key principles of dignity, freedom, equality, solidarity, citizens’ rights, and justice. It is also notable for including a strong focus on social and economic freedoms, recognising modern challenges such as digital rights and environmental protection, and guaranteeing fair and effective public administration.
However, despite its importance, the awareness and use of the Charter remains low. Many citizens, public officials, and even legal professionals are unfamiliar with it, limiting its practical application and preventing it from reaching its full potential to protect citizens’ rights.
