France’s decision to extend the applicability of the European Social Charter to its overseas territories is a significant step toward ensuring equality under the law, regardless of place of residence. #HLC_Chisinau2026 #HLCSocial2026
L’extension par la France de l'applicabilité de la Charte sociale européenne aux Outre-mer est une décision forte pour garantir l’égalité en droit, quel que soit le lieu de résidence. #HLC_Chisinau2026 #HLCSocial2026
Digitalising social welfare systems isn't just about "speed & efficiency". It's about the delivery of #HumanRights.
I outlined 5 critical risk categories we must address to ensure technology empowers rather than marginalises.

This is a systemic failure. Europe needs a shift to social protection as an investment, not a burden.

Digitalisation should be a tool for the effective enjoyment of social rights, not a barrier.
Human rights should guide efforts to combat poverty and social protection should be seen as an investment, not a burden.

My focus will be on:
• Human-centric digitalisation: Ensuring AI and digital systems include rather than exclude, backed by essential human oversight.
• Breaking the cycle of poverty: Tackling child poverty to ensure every child has a fair start, regardless of their background.

On my way to the High-level @coe.int Conference on Social Rights in Chisinau.
Looking forward to discussing how states can reconcile digital efficiency with their obligations to equality and human dignity and the need to implement human-rights centred policies to combat poverty.
