The European Union (EU) is founded on the values of respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities. These values are enshrined in Article 2 of the EU Treaty and compliance with them by the Member States is a condition for participation in the European project. The European Charter of Fundamental Rights incorporated these values into EU law.
