This detailed Commentary explores the boundaries of social rights at a European level through analysis of the Revised European Social Charter (RESC), the most comprehensive regional document on social rights. The Commentary considers the treaty as the counterpart of the European Convention on Human Rights, examining how it sets out fundamental rights in the social field. It focuses primarily on the rich jurisprudence developed by the Charter’s monitoring body, the European Committee of Social Rights (ECSR).

François VENDAMME – Reflections on social rights application: interests at stake and controversies behind the scenes
This essay, which looks back over a few years of supervision of social rights by international committees, in particular the European Committee of Social Rights, differs from most other studies in that it does not seek to comment on the Committee’s case law or discuss the supervisory system of the European Social Charter. Rather, the aim is to explore the reasons that still have an impact on the unsatisfactory application of the Treaties.
