Fundamental Rights and Citizenship

Falling under the Fundamental Rights and Justice Framework Programme, the goal of the Fundamental Rights and Citizenship program is to ensure EU citizens are provided the rights they are afforded under the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and allow for an open dialogue in regards to rights . The programme also aims to combat racism and thus ensures that EU citizens can live freely and openly without fear of persecution or danger.

Therefore, the programme draws heavily on the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and seeks to educate the public to know and use their rights as EU citizens established in the Charter. The Union must also monitor Member States to ensure rights are no being violated.

However, the Union must also rely on organizations within the EU to promote the respect of rights and the rule of law. Therefore the Union also encourages the establishment of an interfaith and multicultural dialogue at the EU level to discuss peace and fundamental rights.

In order to educate EU citizens, third countries nationals in the EU and civil society organizations about their rights, the programme supports the following actions:

Outside of the EU Member States, candidate countries, the western Balkan countries or any other country that would contribute to successfully achieving the objectives are open to participate in this programme.
