Taking Rights Consciousness Seriously: A Rights-Based Approach to Promoting Rule of Law Culture in the EU
In spite of the key role that individual rights play in the EU legal system from its origins up to this day, the lack of effectiveness of those rights is a major problem for the functioning and the legitimacy of this system. This paper argues that enhancing rights consciousness across society can help make individual rights more effective and strengthen individual and collective confidence in the EU’s legal system. The paper follows the following structure: firstly, a brief reminder of the nature, function and value of rights in the EU legal system; secondly, a discussion of rights consciousness as a precondition for rights effectiveness; thirdly, an overview of the EU’s current – uneven – efforts at enhancing rights consciousness. A few suggestions are formulated as to how to progress towards this objective. Keywords: individual rights, rights consciousness, effectiveness, due diligence, rule of law cultur
