The Fundamental Rights Report 2024, issued by the Fundamental Rights Regulatory Authority, analyzes the developments witnessed in fundamental rights. The report focuses on Europe’s most pressing fundamental rights concerns in 2023: the cost of living crisis, worries about rights at the EU’s external borders, migration, and threats to democracy. This year’s new, restructured report adopts a shorter and sharper analysis. The report also presents the views of the Fundamental Rights Regulatory Authority on these developments, including a summary of the evidence supporting these views.
