Social rights are an integral part of the Council of Europe’s shared joint vision. They are indispensable for all citizens to live in dignity and have a self-determined lifestyle. Guaranteeing them is an essential condition for democracy. The European Social Charter, known as the Social Constitution of Europe, plays a central role in the European human rights architecture. No other legal instrument at the pan-European level offers such broad and comprehensive protection of social rights. In May 2023, the Reykjavik Declaration insisted on Member States' commitment to this treaty. Consequently, this upcoming July 3 and 4, 2024, the High-Level Conference on the European Social Charter will take place in Vilnius, under the Lithuanian presidency of the Committee of Ministers. Its significance lies in the fact that the States will take up new challenges, including consolidating its standards, simplifying its systematization and contributing to its effective implementation. In short, it will reaffirm the need for social human rights to be key to the construction of the European legal framework.
