The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union in the light of the principle of unity in diversity (Part I)

Summary/Abstract: Both the discussion around the axiological roots of human rights adopted in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, as well as concerns about the uncontrolled increase of EU competences in the area of human rights protection have resulted in the establishment of restrictions on the Charter’s impact on national legal systems, among others in the form of declarations and protocols incorporated into primary law at the request of certain member states, including Poland. Despite legal doubts concerning their effectiveness in protecting national traditions against harmonization in the spirit of left-wing liberalism, they express a consensus arising from the desire to respect the principle of unity in diversity.
