The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union codifies in the legal framework of treaties that establish and govern the EU the basic human rights that must be respected by EU laws and institutions. It is, in short, the EU’s bill of rights and builds on the European Convention on Human Rights of 1950. The charter was first drafted in 2000 and “solemnly proclaimed” by the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union, and the Commission of the European Communities (now called simply the European Commission).
However, the charter lacked the force of law, and the failure of the proposed European Constitution in 2005 undermined efforts to make the charter legally binding. These efforts were renewed a few years later when, as the UNHCR’s Refworld database explains, “The Charter was proclaimed at Strasbourg on 12 December 2007 by the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission …. This text repeats and adapts the Charter proclaimed on 7 December 2000.” The updates and adaptations in the text adopted in 2007 largely serve to clarify limits on the EU’s authority and powers in relation to the charter and the sovereignty of its member states.
The Treaty of Lisbon, which amended the Maastricht Treaty of 1992 and the Treaty of Rome of 1957 — the two treaties which form the constitutional basis of the EU — was signed the next day, 13 December 2007, and made the charter as binding as those foundational treaties. Xavier Groussot, associate professor of law in the Faculty of Law at Lund University in Sweden, and Laurent Pech, lecturer in law and Jean Monnet Chair in EU Public Law at the National University of Ireland, Galway (now the University of Galway), make clear: “With the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty [on 1 December 2009], the Charter has finally become a legally binding and core element of the Union’s legal order.”
“The Charter is a great achievement,” stated Věra Jourová, the European Commission’s vice president for values and transparency, in 2019. “With the Charter, we agreed on a set of shared values and fundamental rights that serve as a compass to guide our actions. The Charter is a symbol of our shared European identity, the knowledge that we all belong to a community of values where fundamental rights are respected; where democracy and the rule of law prevail.”
This print contains the full legal text of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union adopted at Strasbourg on 12 December 2007. Printed on sturdy, high-quality paper with archival inks, the print is perfect for display in a classroom, office, or other public space or even at home. It is available in multiple sizes and all 24 official languages of the European Union.

For digital orders, the following terms apply. Electronic files are provided for your personal, noncommercial use only. You may print copies solely for your use in a home, classroom, or office setting. You may make and keep only the electronic copies of these files that you may need for future use or reference, and you may store them only on your own computers or in your own accounts on servers or the cloud.

Please note
I strive to fulfill all orders, including custom orders, as quickly as possible—typically within one day for items I have in stock. However, please note that I am a stay-at-home dad to three small children and they come first (if they don’t, they are quick to let me know that my priorities are out of order). So if I am delayed in delivering your order, particularly a custom order, please be patient and understanding. Thank you!
Packing slip
To save weight on shipments, which saves shipping costs, as well as to reduce paper waste, I do not include a packing slip with my shipments. If you would like a packing slip included in your shipment, please message me at the time you place your order. If you need a packing slip for a past order, please message me and I will be happy to provide one for download in PDF.
Free shipping
When free shipping is offered on an item, note that it will be shipped via the lowest-cost service, even if you select a higher-cost service (such as USPS Priority Mail) at checkout.
Not all the items I ordered arrived in the package I received. Where is the rest of my order?
Please note that, because of the various production techniques I use, some orders may arrive in two or more separate packages. You will receive tracking information for each package when it ships.
I purchased the digital version of one of your prints by accident. Can I get a refund?
Yes — as long as you haven’t downloaded it yet (and yes, I can see on my end whether you’ve downloaded it or not). If you’ve purchased the digital version by accident, DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT and let me know of the error. We’ll make it right through a refund or exchange, or by figuring out another solution. But once you download the PDF, your purchase can’t be refunded, because there’s no reliable way for me to verify that you’ve deleted the downloaded file from your computer or other storage devices.
