Social rights, while traditionally the neglected sibling within the
human rights family, have been prominent on the agenda in Europe in
recent years. The debate over the justiciability of social rights
in the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights, and the revision of the
Council of Europe's European Social Charter, have contributed in
different ways to this prominence. The chapters in this book
examine these recent developments, and discuss some of the current
dilemmas and challenges for the system of protection of social
rights in Europe. The collection moves deliberately beyond the
traditional focus on labour rights to consider other social rights
which are seen to be of growing importance, such as health and
disability in particular. Writers who are familiar with, and in
some cases who have worked within, the various European systems
assess different aspects of their functioning, including their
respective mechanisms for monitoring and enforcement. The
relationship between the two main systems of protection of social
rights (The EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the European
Social Charter) is considered both in a chapter on the possibility
for future accession of the EU to the ESC, as well as through a
series of case studies on the right to work, to health, to freedom
from discrimination, and the rights of the disabled. This approach
allows reflection on the respective strengths and weaknesses of
these two systems, and the existing tensions and synergies between
them.
