It focuses primarily on the rich jurisprudence developed by the Charter’s monitoring body, the European Committee of Social Rights (ECSR). Key features include: discussion of the application of social rights in practiceexamination of the implementation of the RESC in national lawa guide to social rights and the corresponding human rights obligations of European states that have ratified the Charteranalysis of economic, social and cultural rights in Europe across a range of areas including housing, health, education, employment, legal and social protection, migration and non-discrimination.
