European Union Fundamental Rights Policy

The European Union (EU) Fundamental Rights Policy ensures that the rights and freedoms of individuals are protected across member states. It is grounded in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which includes rights related to dignity, freedoms, equality, solidarity, citizens' rights, and justice. The policy promotes respect for human rights in areas like discrimination, privacy, and freedom of expression. By establishing common standards, the EU aims to strengthen democracy and the rule of law, ensuring that all people in the EU can enjoy their rights equally and without discrimination.
