"PACE called on governments to honour their commitments under the #EuropeanSocialCharter by increasing public investment in affordable housing and renovation of old housing, introducing rent regulation, curbing speculation and short-term rentals, strengthening safeguards against forced evictions.

The #EuropeanSocialCharter sets out an extensive set of youth-specific rights in Euro #humanrights law.It's a crucial tool for those pushing forward #youthrights in Europe as evidenced by case-law on #workrights #socialsecurity #vocationaltraining

This week, we also saw the #EuropeanSocialCharter reflected strongly in @alain-berset.coe.int
annual report and the new @coe.int Strategy on the Environment. Both developments reflect the Charter’s growing profile & the increasing recognition of its relevance in a time of democracy under pressure.
3/ to talk about synergies between the #ESC system & their work on the #GenderEquality Strategy.
Today, we met the #GovernmentalCommittee Bureau to talk about our mutual work incl re the #High-Level #Conference on the #EuropeanSocialCharter to be held in Chisinau in 03/26 www.coe.int/en/web/europ...
The #EuropeanSocialCharter system needs you! The @coe.int invites #MemberStates #civilsociety #socialpartners #youth-led groups, #academics & individual #experts to contribute ideas to shape the High-Level Conference on the Charter to be held 19.03/26 in Chişinău, Moldova

1/ Very positively, the #EuropeanSocialCharter is recognised as a key framing instrument in the new @coe.int #Strategy on the #Environment, notably in terms of its Strategic Objective 1: Integrating human rights considerations in environment-related strategies, instruments, legislation, policies...
It is excellent to see the prominent position given to the #EuropeanSocialCharter and the work of the
European Committee of #SocialRights in Secretary-General @alain-berset.coe.int report - particularly in Chapter 3 on #socialjustice where our work on the #costofliving crisis is highlighted.
A really lovely new resource on the #EuropeanSocialCharter and what it does for people in #Europe. Please take a look!

1/ On #LabourDay, a reminder that the #EuropeanSocialCharter is the social constitution of Europe & #labourrights are at its heart.This year, the @coe.int Euro Committee of #SocialRights is focusing on the #work rights-related duties of states not yet signed up to the collective complaints protocol
On this #WorldHealthDay, take a look at this new Factsheet the Right to Protection of Health (Article 11) of @coe.int #EuropeanSocialCharter - from #SRHR to #rightohealthyenvironment to #publichealthcrises to #discrimination / #ageism in #healthcareaccess

In a contrast to the #ECHR situation,the @coe.int European Committee of #SocialRights has been explicit that the use of bone testing to determine the age of unaccompanied foreign minors is inappropriate & unreliable & violates Art 17(1) #EuropeanSocialCharter

1/ This is such important, good news for #olderpersonsrights & #humanrights law more generally. The #EuropeanSocialCharter provides extensive protection to older persons' rights & the lessons from that regional experience, incl the jurisprudence of the @coe.int European Committee of #SocialRights...
4/ The #EuropeanSocialCharter is unique amongst #internationalhumanrightslaw instruments in its inclusion of the right to protection from poverty and social exclusion. Information on what that right requires in practice is discussed n this report:

2/ The #ECSR considers the measures that European governments have taken to tackle the crisis - and makes clear what must be done if the rights in the #EuropeanSocialCharter are to be secured in times of crisis and #polycrisis.

It was a pleasure and honour to chat to Ambassador Caitríona Doyle of the Permanent Representation of IRL to
@coe.int about #womensrights, the #EuropeanSocialCharter and the potential of #academic, #practice & #policy synergies to advance #humanrights this #IWD.

1/ This @coe.int European Committee of #socialrights decision will be of interest to those working on the role of the #privatesector in the delivery of #humanrights.
The Committee was clear that #private sector involvement in relation to #EuropeanSocialCharter rights-related services...
People must have access to stable, consistent and safe access to adequate energy, says the @coe.int’s European Committee of #SocialRights in a landmark decision 👇

2/ ... received insufficient attention in #internationalhumanrightslaw.
The decision makes clear for the first time that "#stable, #consistent and #safe #access to #adequateenergy is both a #prerequisite for and a key #element of the enjoyment of #EuropeanSocialCharter rights such as...
2/ The Committee stated that the crisis should not have as a consequence the reduction of the protection of #EuropeanSocialCharter rights either within Ukraine or beyond its borders. It also stressed that States Parties are bound to take all necessary steps to ensure....
1/ In May 2022,the @coe.int European Committee of #SocialRights issued a statement on the crisis caused by Russia’s military aggression against #Ukraine. It made clear that military aggression against another State Party is per se inconsistent with the spirit & purposes of the #EuropeanSocialCharter
2/ It's a very exciting time for the #EuropeanSocialCharter system and it is a huge honour to be part of it and collaborate with such a great team of people.
16/12 Public Hearing #EU_EESC #EuropeanSocialCharter #ECSR #CartaSocialEuropea #CEDS #Modelosocialeuropeo #IA #ConsejoEuropa ¡Muchísimas gracias por la invitación!
Today I had a fruitful exchange of views with the @coe.int Governmental Committee on #Environment (GME). I stressed the central role the #EuropeanSocialCharter can & should play with regard to the (under development) COE Strategy on the Environment.

I was pleased to speak about #housingrights & #homlessness as set out in the #EuropeanSocialCharter & in the jurisprudence of the @coe.int European Committee of #SocialRights on a great panel w/ @balaraj.bsky.social PACE Aurora Floridia @jimmymoloney.bsky.social & DG Empl Katarina Ivanković Knežević
On the #InternationalDayofPersonswithDisabilities, a reminder of Article 15 of the #EuropeanSocialCharter on the right of #PWD to #independence, social integration and participation in the life of the community. For info on the @coe.int European Committee of #SocialRights #disabilityrights work...
1/ #Sexualharassment in the context of work is banned under European human rights law by Article 26 of the #EuropeanSocialCharter on the right to dignity at work.
This protection complements and reinforces Article 40 of the #IstanbulConvention which deals with sexual harassment more broadly.
It was a huge pleasure to give a keynote lecture kicking off this important & timely course. If the commitments in the #EuropeanSocialCharter are to be made real, it is vital that the #ESC system & #socialrights are incorporated into #lawschool curricula.
