HUMAN RIGHTS IN THE EUROPEAN CONSTITUTIONAL ORDER

deemed to have never entered EU territory. Suppose the traveller persuades authorities that flight was compelled by climate driven harm. Ondřej Kabelka assesses how well EU subsidiary-protection law shields people displaced by climate change. By contrasting CJEU case-law with the UN Human Rights Committee’s more expansive reasoning, he shows that the CJEU’s narrow reading of “serious harm” and intent-based non refoulement leaves environmental migrants largely unprotected. Once status is granted, economic integration follows. Daniel Baumruk examines the revised Single Permit Directive, which enhances the rights of third-country national workers by e.g. improving equal treatment and access to information. Years pass; our protagonist forms a family and looks to secure the derived rights of children and third country parents. Antonín Pelikán revisits Ruiz Zambrano line jurisprudence, teasing out a range of unresolved dilemmas and demonstrating how Chavez Vilchez both clarified and complicated them. Life in the EU also means full participation without discrimination. Sára Eva Rujbr explores legal and institutional architecture of the EU in context of protecting LGBTQ+. It shows that meaningful progress demands both deeper legislative harmonisation and stronger, more accessible enforcement channels, or the EU’s commitment to LGBTQ+ may remain rather symbolic. The final destination is the courthouse itself. By analysing Miasto Łowicz, Commission v Poland and the CJEU’s repurposing of Article 19 TEU, Jan Zindr demonstrates how systemic rule of law decay can jeopardise every individual guarantee previously mapped. Acknowledgment is extended to the students of the 2023/2024 cohort for their intellectual curiosity, and to the visiting experts whose generous engagement and insights enriched the academic dialogue. Gratitude is further expressed to the European Union for its commitment to supporting the teaching and critical analysis of its institutional functioning through the Jean Monnet Module Erasmus+ Programme.
