A synthesis of former EP resolutions in the field of Fundamental Rights

This Briefing Paper provides a synthesis of the resolutions of the European Parliament in the fields of Fundamental Rights.

After having sketched the role of the European Parliament in the realisation of a genuine EU fundamental rights policy, the paper analyses the yearly resolutions since 1993 adopted by the EP on the situation as regards fundamental rights in the European Union. The paper explains the structure of the documents, main concerns raised, member states and actors singled out and positive remarks highlighted. A comparison is provided between the resolutions covering the period 1993 to 1999 and those adopted after the proclamation of the EU Charter on Fundamental Rights. The paper concludes with a short assessment of the impact, role and added-value of the resolutions.
