Article 1. Human dignity. Human dignity is inviolable. It must be respected and protected.
Human Rights Day 2014
The standards, procedures and institutions that ensure Human and Fundamental rights in the EU emanate from local, national and international organisations, the last of which include the EU itself, the Council of Europe , the OSCE – The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe and the United Nations.
The core international obligations that the EU and its Member States have taken on, the Human Rights instruments they have formally accepted and the results:
The European Union sees Human Rights as universal and indivisible. It actively promotes and defends them both within its borders and when engaging in relations with non-EU countries.
The European Union is founded on a strong engagement to promote and protect Human Rrights, Democracy and Rule of Law worldwide. Sustainable Peace, Development and Prosperity cannot exist without respect for Human Rights. This commitment underpins all internal and external policies of the European Union.
