Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union
ReferenceThe EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (Strasbourg, 12 December 2007) enshrines human rights in European Union law: dignity, freedoms, equality, solidarity, citizenship and justice. For family cases, Articles 7 (private and family life), 9 (right to marry), 21 (non-discrimination), 24 (rights of the child) and 33 (family and professional life) are particularly relevant.
The Charter is EU primary law and applies whenever a case falls within the scope of Union law. It is published in the Official Journal of the EU rather than the Dutch legislation register, so we do not reproduce its text: the official Dutch version is available on EUR-Lex via the link below (with texts in all EU languages).
