Zusammenfassung

Die Charta der Grundrechte der Europäischen Union enthält die Grund- und Menschenrechte ihrer Bewohner. Die Charta folgt dem Beispiel der Europäischen Menschenrechtskonvention und der Europäischen Sozialcharta sowie den verfassungsrechtlichen Prinzipien der EU Mitgliedstaaten.

In sechs zentralen Abschnitten werden die Rechte und Grundsätze zur Würde des Menschen, den Freiheiten, der Gleichheit, der Solidarität, den Bürgerrechte sowie den justiziellen Rechten behandelt.

Die Charta verpflichtet alle Organe, Einrichtungen und sonstige Stellen der EU bei der Anwendung von Unionsrecht.

Jeder von einem Akt eines der Organe, Einrichtungen oder sonstigen Stellen der EU Betroffene kann dagegen vor dem Gerichtshof der EU Klage erheben. Ganz unabhängig davon hat der Gerichtshof bei allen ihm vorliegenden Klagen einen etwaigen Verstoß gegen die Grundrechte zu prüfen.

Abstract

The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union enshrines the key political, social and economic rights of EU citizens and residents in EU law. In its present form it was approved in 2000 by the European Parliament, the Council of Ministers and the European Commission. However its legal status remained uncertain until the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon in December 2009. The Charter obliges the EU to act and legislate consistently with the Charter, and enables the EU’s courts to strike down EU legislation which contravenes it. The Charter applies to EU Member States when they are implementing EU law but does not extend the competences of the EU beyond the competences given to it in the treaties.

This commentary on the Charter, the first in English, written by experts from several EU Member States, provides an authoritative but succinct statement of the how the Charter impacts upon EU, domestic and international law. Following the conventional article-by-article approach, each Commentator offers an expert vies of how each article is either being interpreted in the courts, or is likely to be interpreted. Each commentary is referenced to the case law and is augmented with extensive references to further reading. Six cross-cutting introductory chapters explain the Charter’s institutional anchorage, its relationship to the Fundamental Rights Agency, its interaction with other parts of international human rights law, the enforcement mechanism, extraterritorial scope, and the all-important ‘Explanations’.
