Description
Protecting the fundamental rights of its citizent, has for a long time beed an important issue and concern for the European Union. There is, however, a need to spell out more clerly and visibly to the citizens of europe what these rights are and how they are protected under European law. The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights is set to do just that. What rights should the Charter contain? How should they be enforced? What should the Charter's status be in relation to other instruments for the protection of human rights? What effects will such a dacumant have for individual citizens, particular groups of society, the Member States and the Union as a whole? These are some of the controversial questions discussed by the 17 commentaries which reflect the wide spectrum of interests and concerns that have the drafting process. This book provides a comprehensive assessment of the proposed EU Charter and is much a valuable contribution to the discourse on adequate fundamantal rights protection as it is to the debate about the EU's constitutional structure and the future of European integration.
