This chapter analyses the role of rights in the Community legal order and their impact on judicial review. It begins with a discussion on the evolution of Community rights, revealing the input from the European Court of Justice (ECJ), the Court of First Instance (CFI), and the Community political organs. It then provides an overview of the concerns voiced about the protection of rights within the Community prior to the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The focus shifts to the Charter of Fundamental Rights, its genesis, and content. It concludes by examining the broader relevance of human rights within the EU.Less

This chapter provides an analytical discussion of some major themes in Gewirth's Community of Rights and Self-Fulfillment. The focus of the chapter is on how rights- and duty-bearing agents interact to create political community, and how the rights to freedom and well-being posited by his moral theory include the right to develop a conception of the good life to be pursued through political community. Such a community will enable capacity-fulfilment, self-respect, and self-esteem. The chapter draws out of Gewirth's work the notion of a reasonable, situated, mutualist self, able to cooperate with other such selves to enact both the just and the good.Less
