It sets out the civil, political, economic and social rights of European citizens under six headings: dignity, freedom, equality, solidarity, citizens’ rights and justice. These rights are based on the fundamental rights and freedoms recognised by the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and on the constitutional traditions of the countries of the European Union.
