L’articolo, soffermandosi inizialmente sugli aspetti definitori dei diritti fondamentali, intende fornire gli strumenti essenziali per una corretta comprensione dei meccanismi di tutela dei diritti sociali nell’Unione Europea, che hanno trovato la loro piena affermazione solo grazie ad un laborioso processo culminato nell’adozione della Carta dei diritti fondamentali a Nizza nel 2000. Tale documento, che ha avuto il merito di rendere visibili i diritti riconosciuti ai cittadini europei, rappresenta la sintesi dei valori condivisi da tutti gli Stati membri, anche dalle democrazie entrate nell’ultimo decennio a far parte dell’Europa Comunitaria.

Abstract
The contribution, focusing initially on the definitional aspects of fundamental rights, will provide the essential tools to a correct understanding of the mechanisms of protection of social rights in the European Union, which have found their full expression only through a long process which culminated in the adoption of the Charter of fundamental Rights in Nice in 2000. This document, which had the merit of making visible the rights recognized to citizens, is a synthesis of values shared by all Member States, including democracies, that joined in the last decade at Europe Community.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
