A key partner of Fundamental Rights Agency (FRA), the Council of Europe is an observer of the Management Board. The 28th Management Board of the FRA was an opportunity to underline the substantive cooperation between the Council of Europe and the Agency in promoting and protecting rights across the member states of the European Union. The form of cooperation is manifold and touches a vast array of subjects such as the rights of minorities, the protection of asylum seekers and migrants, whether regular or not, the fundamental rights of women and children, the fight against hate speech and against all forms of discrimination. Both organisations are keen to anticipate new human rights challenges that emerge in an increasing digitalised society and are keen to work together in new areas such as surveillance, human rights and business and artificial intelligence.
