ABOUT THE CHARTERPEDIA
What is the Charterpedia?
The Charterpedia is an online tool that allows users to access information about fundamental rights in the European Union (EU) and its Member States at the click of a button. It is structured around the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU, making navigation through the information easy and user-friendly.
What can I find in Charterpedia? Charterpedia is a compilation of international, European Union and national constitutional law in the area of fundamental rights, linked to the topics, chapters and articles of the Charter. This compilation was created by the Civil Liberties Committee of the European Parliament (LIBE) and taken over by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) in 2008. Charterpedia can be accessed via the FRA website and used as a research tool by researchers, politicians, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society and the general public. The tool will be developed to include policies, ongoing discussions, initiatives and case law at national and international levels in the area of fundamental rights.
