SCUola di DIritti umani:
strategic litigation for the protection of migrants' rights

The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union protects the fundamental rights enjoyed by individuals in the European Union and sets out the civil, political, economic, and social rights of European citizens and of all individuals living in the territory of the Union. The Charter reaffirms the established rights based on the constitutional traditions and common international obligations of the Member States, which include the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, the Social Charters adopted by the Union and the Council of Europe, and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights. Thanks to the visibility and clarity that the Charter gives to fundamental rights, it helps create legal certainty within the Union, founded on common values: human dignity, freedom, equality, solidarity, citizenship, justice.
