Here's the Charter of Fundamental Rights (summary), just enacted a few months ago by the European Union. It covers a lot....(details are easy to find). (right to life is the first one, by the way)
"The Charter contains some 54 articles divided into seven titles. The first six titles deal with substantive rights under the headings: dignity, freedoms, equality, solidarity, citizens' rights and justice, while the last title deals with the interpretation and application of the Charter. Much of Charter is based on the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the case-law of the European Court of Justice and pre-existing provisions of European Union law.
* The first title, dignity, guarantees the right to life and prohibits torture, slavery and the death penalty. Its provisions are mostly based on the ECHR, although Article 1 closely reflects Article 1 of the German Basic Law.
* The second title covers liberty, privacy, marriage, thought, expression, assembly, education, work, property and asylum.
* The third title covers equality, the rights of children and the elderly.
* The fourth title covers social and workers' rights including the right to fair working conditions, protection against unjustified dismissal, and access to health care.
* The fifth title covers the rights of the EU citizens such as the right to vote in election to the European Parliament and to move freely within the EU. In also includes several administrative rights such as a right to good administration, to access documents and to petition the European Parliament.
* The sixth title covers justice issues such as the right to an effective remedy, a fair trial, to the presumption of innocence, the principle of legality, non-retrospectivity and double jeopardy.
* The seventh title concerns the interpretation and application of the Charter. These issues are dealt with above."
