The European Union Fundamental Rights Agency, established in 2007, is a new institution in the EU legal and political framework and a new element in the engineering of fundamental rights protection at EU level. In “Leading by Example: a human rights agenda for the year 2000” – the agenda drafted by a comité des sages comprising Antonio Cassese, Catherine Lalumière, Peter Leuprecht and Mary Robinson – the institution of a monitoring agency focused on human rights was considered a fundamental element to trigger a more proactive and central role of EU institutions in the protection of human rights.

Abstract

The European Union Fundamental Rights Agency, established in 2007, is a new institution in the EU legal and political framework and a new element in the engineering of fundamental rights protection at EU level. In “Leading by Example: a human rights agenda for the year 2000” – the agenda drafted by a comité des sages comprising Antonio Cassese, Catherine Lalumière, Peter Leuprecht and Mary Robinson – the institution of a monitoring agency focused on human rights was considered a fundamental element to trigger a more proactive and central role of EU institutions in the protection of human rights. Along with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and after the Lisbon Treaty entered into force, the Agency has increasingly covered a role in the constitutionalization process of the European Union and has been a new actor within the EU system of governance. Given its importance, we intend to clarify the evolution of this EU body, understand its connections with the EU institutions, analyze its activities, in order to assess its effectiveness in the protection of human rights and its potential in prompting more virtuous policy-making processes.
