The EU Charter turns 20. Exchange of views on an anniversary. La Charte a 20 ans : Regards croisés pour un anniversaire

9 October 2020

Conference 8.30-19.30

Egmont Palace, Place du Petit Sablon 8bis, 1000 Brussels

Organisation: Institut d'études européennes de l'ULB, Egmont Institute, Centre Interdisciplinaire de recherches constitutionnelles, Centre de droit européen, Institut d'études européennes (Saint-Louis)

In June 2019, the Commission published the results of a Eurobarometer survey on the knowledge of EU citizens about the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. According to this survey, only 12% of these citizens “really know what the Charter of Fundamental Rights is”. Twenty years after its proclamation, the objective of this conference is to examine the practical effectiveness of this instrument, which is presented as a pillar of the European Union. What is the real impact of the Charter of Fundamental Rights on the citizen? What are the practical weaknesses of this instrument? How to strengthen the awareness of the civil society and the judicial actors in that regard? These will be, among others, the questions that will be addressed by the conference. An interdisciplinary and intersectoral approach, aimed at bringing together the views of experts from different disciplines and of practitioners, will be adopted.

EGMONT Institute: Extremist Offender Management in Belgium

Extremist Offender Management in Belgium By Thomas Renard (27 July 2020) In Other publications EU strategy and foreign policy, Middle-East / North Africa, Terrorism The presence of terrorist convicts in prison is not a new phenomenon in Belgium. However, radicalisation or recruitment was less visible, or at least less observed until it became a policy priority to monitor violent extremists in prison in 2015. This chapter, which is part of a broader report, analyses the specific policies and tools that have been developed in Belgium to address the challenge of radicalisation in prison, and the rehabilitation of terrorist offenders after their release. This chapter (view the PDF below) was published as part of the report “Extremist Offender Management in Europe: Country Reports” published by ICSR, and available here .
